I think the whole tyre pressures thing is some rubbish thought up by manufacturers with fundamentally crap suspension systems. JD is comfy whatever the situation.
I have to say I think my t6080 did permanent damage to my hips it was that uncomfortable! Funny thing is the front suspension/ cab suspension on the cheaper electro command model s is superior in every respect!
Michelin have produced a very simple easy to use tyre pressure calculator app for both Apple and Android phones.So what tyre pressures are you guys running? Gonna have a look tomorrow what I'm set at and if not gonna be too low let some wind out see if it helps.....
What front ballast / rear implement / towed equipment are you traveling with?Had a look this morning I'm on 20 and 22 so gonna drop them down to 18 and 20 and see if I see an improvement ...
If you aim for a happy medium you will always be disappointed. You're throwing money away as well.Hard to say really can have anything from 3ton slurry reeler on the front and 5 ton on the back to nothing on the front and a muck trailer on the back generally changes every day so impossible to change it to suit each job just need a happy medium ....

Yep. Why spend 5 grand on tyres and misuse them?Do you change your pressures for every job?
It's not really practical to alter tyre pressure for every job in most situations. Our main tractor will often be doing two or three different types of work in a day. Anything from road haulage to fert spreading to slurry tanking.Yep. Why spend 5 grand on tyres and misuse them?
£5k in time? Are you using a bicycle pump? It takes a maximum of 5 minutes to alter 4 tyres here. What value do you put on the impact incorrectly inflated tyres has on the land? Or operator comfort?Might spend 5 grand on tyres but can also soon spend £5 grand in time inflating and deflating tyres to get another 500hours out of them..... my last set lasted 5500hours so I must be treating them reasonable okay?
