Easy Way To Balance Tire Pressure

Easy Way To Balance Tire Pressure TIRES/WHEELS Handling Steven Liss knows that balancing tire pressure between rear wheels is vital for tractor pulling It’s also a good idea for extending tire life and reducing slippage in the field “Having balanced tire pressure in both rear wheels is critical when pulling ” says Liss “You want the wheels to break loose together If one has higher pressure it will break loose first If they’re exactly the same they tend to spin at the same time The same will be true when doing heavy field work ” Liss notes that it’s hard to get two tires exactly the same using a gauge This is especially true with low pressures He competes in the antique tractor class with a 1936 Deere A with only 6 lbs pressure in each tire He has a simple technique to balance pressure “I have a tire hose with air chucks designed to clip onto tire valve stems ” explains Liss “When I run a hose between both rear tires they balance themselves I keep several sets of short hoses around the shop with quick connect chucks on them I can hook to rears or fronts and balance them out fast ” Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Steven Liss 14121 S Hwy 97 Harrison Idaho 83833 ph 208 765-3131
