Quote from Shane: "From your post it sounds like you load the duals too. I didn't think you were supposed to load them. If you do have you ever had any problems with doing it such as busted lugs or t-rails?" I too have heard that you should not load the duals with fluid... yet these same people will load them with cast weights! I have run fluid in my duals for a few decades and have not had any adverse affect at all from it. I am still using the radial tires that we bought in the mid'80's and the lugs are fine (I don't do a lot of highway/roading of the tractors). They show weather/sun/age cracks, but no odd/abnormal wear! We run radials on all the larger equipment (those are the ones with duals). We usually load the inside tires to about 2/3rds full of fluid and the outside tires about 1/3rd to 1/2 full! One tractor {IH-1566} we also put about #300 of cast weights on each of the inside tires. That sucker has never run out of power! As for "T-rails" and lugs... we have never had lug troubles at all. We have all our dual tires mounted on solid rims/hubs {M&W's} that bolt "directly" to the axle shafts. On our IH-1066, we started out {in '76} with bias-style tires mounted on hubless rims (bolted to the inside tire rims with long bolts). There was no fluid in them at that time (and no weights added). It was no time at all (only a few years) before we tore out the keyway and ruined the centers of the original inside hubs!!! I will never mount ANY dual-tire to the rim of the inside tire... ever! It is just too expensive in the long run! Those rear tires just have too much torque/leverage to be held out there that far with a single hub!
