Fast Way To Inflate,DeflatejTractor Tires TIRES/WHEELS Handling 18-1-25 Inflating or deflating huge tractor tires when moving from road to field travel, or vice versa, is a slow, tedious job, especially during spring planting when time is money. A German firm (Posges & Tigges) has introduced a revolutionary low-cost "Air-booster" kit that moves air in or out of big tractor tires with lightning-like speed, reducing the time it takes to inflate tractor tires from minutes to seconds. The kit consists of large 1/2-in dia. screw-in adaptors which replace the original valve core, 15 ft. of hose and a hand-held device with a built-in pressure gauge and control valve. To deflate a tire, you simply place the device over the valve stem and flip the control switch to the "deflate" position. The built-in gauge gives you a continuous air-pressure reading as the tire is deflated or inflated. The kit sells in Europe for right at $225. If you want the ultimate in air pressure control of tractor tires, Posges & Tigges will sell you a system that lets you adjust air pressure of every tire "on the go" right from the tractor seat.
