    Hi folks,
    What psi should I put in the front wheels of my case 1394 tractor?
    There’s a front loader on it, not sure whether this affects the recommended pressure.

    Loader has a huge influence on the pressure, especially if you're lifting bales, or other heavy loads. I'm not sure on the correct pressure, but I'd say you'd want 30psi anyway....

    But, 30psi will be too much for general work, without the loader. Anything between 20 and 24psi should be fine then....

    I was going to say 35 to 40 psi with the loader until I read hopeso's post.:confused:

    If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.

    You may well be right....It's a while since I put air into a 2wd tractor, and never had one with a loader....

    I went with 40 psi with the loader attached as it looked a little bit flat with anything less.

    I bought a 2wd zetor a few years back that has a loader on it that handled a lot of heavy work.
    She had 60psi in 10.00 x 16 front tyres.
    Took off the loader and dropped the pressures to 30psi
