That could work too, as a rule of thumb. However, the op's manual ought to have tables showing the tractor's weight distribution front and rear, with additions for wheel weights, suitcase weights, and along with tire fluid capacities. This should bring a person very very close to a tractors weight with or without ballast, including it's distribution. Then consult the tire chart which should show all the tire size options that were available for that model, along with a load carrying capacity of that tire at pressures from mabey 6 psi up to 24 psi, often in increments of 1 psi. It should allow you to match exactly what pressure is required. This is certainly in the manuals I have fromth emid 70's onward. Mabey old manuals didn't have that. Dunno. Like you say, a good rule of thumb, but there should be charts out there.... Rod
