Wheels & Tyres To determine the correct tyre pressure: 1. Determine the maximum weight of the sprayer when loaded (do not forget to add the weight of the rinse water tank and the foam marker tank when filled). All tyres used on Goldacres sprayers have been designed to carry the maximum loaded weight of the sprayer when travelling at 20 km/h. The load capacity of the tyres decreases as travelling speed increases so it is important to heed this travelling speed limit. 2. Allow for each tyre to carry half the maximum loaded weight of the sprayer (this does not allow for any load on the tractor pull or cyclical loading, which provides for a safety margin). The tyre pressure also needs to be checked regularly (check every 8 to 12 hours of operation) and maintained at the required tyre pressure. 3. Determine what tyre size and ply is on the sprayer. 4. Determine what appropriate tyre pressure will provide the load capacity required by the respective tyre as indicated in the following table. There are many factors concerning the appropriate tyre pressure for a particular tyre and load. For example, the tyre size, rim type, tyre status (driven or free rolling), load, speed, haul length and ply rating all need to be considered when determining the tyre pressure.
