What kind of pump or inflator could you use to inflate a tractor tire?

A tractor tire typically requires very high air pressure to inflate it. Normal workshop compressors or gas station compressors aren't meant for such heavy-duty tasks and can't provide enough air flow.

For farm tractors and other heavy-duty machinery, such tires usually require around 50–100 PSI (3–7 Bar) of pressure. To fill and seat the large volume, this should be carried out with a specialized high air flow compressor and an air tank/accumulator.

High-pressure air compressors: These high-powered compressors specifically designed for heavy-duty agricultural and industrial work can deliver the necessary air pressure and volume to inflate tractor tires.

Tire inflators: Portable tire inflators are available for tractors and heavy-duty machinery. These inflators often incorporate heavy-duty compressors, air tanks, and high-pressure gauges.

Pressure regulators: Using a combination of a regular compressor with an external air tank and pressure regulator can work as well.

Always follow the manufacturer's recommendations and safety guidelines when inflating tractor tires, as incorrect inflation or improper use of equipment can be hazardous.
