If the unloaded tire is bouncing the tires are inflated too tight. If high pressure is required the tire size is too small or duals are required.
Unless your tractor is for parades,shows or a dozen hours per year use radial tires.Bias costs money in the long run.
You filled your tires because your father & his father filled his too. The tire dealer would rather sell calcuim chloride than have you purchase castiron weights or radial tires. Higher profit margin.
I suppose you don't agree either about the 125 to 140 lbs of gross tractor weight per HP with bias tires & 2WD. And the 25 to 35% of total weight on the front wheels while stationary. Or a minimum of 12psi to be used in bias tires or 3 to 5 MPH as the optimum speed for bias tires to be worked.
The information is common & well known, you just don't want to hear and discover some "facts" you & good old Dad have long held as true are false. Don't shoot the messenger.
I hope you don't put butter on burns as well.
