No. Need to know tyre type, speed rating, load, speed etc.

How long is a piece of string? :p

Firestone have a smartphone app. Michelin, Goodyear etc have tyre lists with pressures for known speeds & weights.
 
I assumed you just typed the size wrong n it was front of 996. If on back of compact I would think maybe 20 psi. If they look soft put in a bit more. 3 tread bars on the ground is a good rule of thumb
Ta,
If the the hydraulic linkage on me shire is a Cat 1 what category is the one on the DB ? And is there any problems in using the upper arm from a cat1 on on a full sized linkage?
 
Cat 2 on the brown but you can turn the arms to cat 1
The top link might not be strong enough. Be fine for light work but not heavy stuff
Aye the top link on the DB is a bit of a brute and I'll only be running a 4' flail or topper for the foreseeable
Most of my stuff was bought for the shire and though it's canny little workhorse,it tends to get a bit hot and bothered after a couple of hours.
Hydraulics look fine on the DB, what's the weight of one of these blocks?

Can anyone tell me the correct TP for a 750x15
Google doesn't seem to be my friend today!
Had a Michelin guy out several years ago about front tyres on a 2wd loader. He said that a good rule of thumb with most tyres is that when under load, and on hard standing, the distance from the bottom of the rim to the ground should be 85% of the distance from the top of the rim to the top of the tyre. Not too precise, but a good starting point.
