[QUOTE="John SD, post: 1195512, member: 14713"] I would not add weight to the front of a loader tractor. I'd let air out of the tires, but keep enough pressure that the tires do not buckle under load or when turning. 800 lb bale is relatively light, so I'd start at no less than 10psi in the front tires and work up from there. Don't put in any more air than necessary, and it should be fine. Can't tell you what pressure is in the 14.9Rx24 radials on my Kubota, but I try to keep them as soft as I can but still hold up under a 1300 bale. I have lifted a whole bucket FULL of sand, but not very high :oops: If I did that much at all, I'd have to air up the tires a bit. The Kubota hydraulics bypass and won't let me lift too much. I had to dump some of the sand before I could lift the bucket high enough to put it over the top of the corral fence. Same result if I try to lift 2 bales at the same time. That's OK, because it keeps me from doing something stupid :P [/QUOTE]
