You're also in a situation where it's not loaded heavily on the rear when it has a loader on the front. I have less trouble with tubes in my loader tractor than the others... probably to the point where I don't see it as much of a problem. However, the other two that do the drawbar work and are ballasted to do heavy drawbar work were continously shearing valve stems off the tubes on both Michelin and Firestone tires. I could probably air them up to 25 psi to avoid that problem but at that point the good of the radial would be defeated... so I'm switching them to tubless as they fail. I'll say again... if you haven't sheared a stem off a loaded radial, you haven't made it pull. Rod Replies: Re: Fluid filled tires, good or bad?
