Add air when the stem is at the top. Get a spring return pressure gauge that spits the fluid out when you're done with it. They do last for several years, which is better than a few days for the regular type gauge. And it certainly never hurts to have a spare valve core close at hand. They do corrode, and from time to time need replacing. As far a pressure goes..... that depends on the load you're carrying. If you look in your operators manual there may be a chart showing the correct inflation pressure for a given tire/load combination. If not, a tire shop ought to have one. Understandably, as you put more weight on the tractor, more weight is transfered to the tires, and the tires require more air to carry that load without flexing. I don't know the correct inflation for your tractor, but on most of my tractors, with bias drive tires, I'm running 15-20 psi. Again, this depends on what you're carrying. HTH.
