3 furrow plough? 6 furrow fully mounted? 100hp? 240hp?
- 30 psi. With such a vague question it's the only *safe* answer you'll get.

Run them too soft and you knacker the tyres. Run them too hard and you knacker your soil and yields, and waste the money you spent on excellent tyres.

Weigh your axles on a weighbridge and read the online chart, make a note of the pressures, and change them to suit the task as required.

If you speak to Michelin they will come out with weigh pads and tell you what pressure, as a freebee.

A small pressure adjustment can save you a lot of money, so worth doing it right.

We have the same tires and i remember the michelin man telling us about a measurement in there book that tells you what the height should be to the center of the axle. I’ll have a look for the book later.

and think about when sumo in ground , might need a good weight to balance it when up , but then overloads front axle. Or transfers too much weight off back axle , that is why we have gone trailed , and did make s telescopic front weight linked into itec so pushed out when lifted up and brought back in when down to keep balance right , it’s a mine field if you want to do it RIGHT . Found out the hard way , had to have new front clutch pack as front got too much grip
