Air Pressure in the Tyres and its Importance

Proper Air Pressure in the Tyres and its Importance :
In order to get proper performance out of the tractor, proper air pressure in the tires is very
important because engine power is wasted when the air pressure is low or high and
required productivity is not obtained, either. It is important for every tractor owner to have
an air gauge and a manual air pump handy.
Improper air pressure can cause the following harm:
- Tire life is reduced and these crack at the sides.
- It causes unnecessary load on the engine which overheats the engine.
- The tractor emit smoke and does not pull well.
- Diesel consumption is increased and time is wasted as well.
- Parts of field remain un-ploughed.
- Rear tires slip during operation, which causes more wear out.
