Subject: Re: Fluid filled tractor tires


If you have an FWA tractor with a top speed of 24-26 MPH and are constantly fighting front wheel bounce, fill the front FWA tires HALF full of fluid and the bounce will disappear. I've tried tire pressures, more and less front weights and the cure is half full of fluid. I then remove front weights to equal the weight of the fluid so as not to overload the front axle for traction. I agree with not filling "full" like we used to on the newer radial tires. Maybe the fronts wouldn't even need to be "half" full to eliminate the bounce, but that's what I have always done and it works.
