Do I need an additional compressor for the tyre inflation system or can I work with the pneumatic brake system?
In most cases the compressor of the air brake system is sufficient to adjust the pressure of the tractors tyres in an acceptable time (depending on difference of pressure and number of tyres 2 to 4 minutes) to road air pressure. These systems are made for non-stop operation therefore overstress because of additional use for air supply for the tyres can be ruled out. Most standard compressors serve about 200 l per min. at nominal rotation speed. New tractors are often equipped with more powerful aggregates (for example Fendt 900 series: ca. 400 l/min) or they can be ordered with a high output alternative as an option ex works (Massey Ferguson).
