Technically, since tire pressure is supposed to be checked with cold tires, you'd have a better chance catching me checking the pressure before I leave my parking spot. The gauge rests right next to my chair, easily reached from the ground through the open door.
I’m looking for a 50ft tire hose with a glad hand hook up.

A hose long enough for the tractor is what I wanted. Some attachments.
FLEXILLA HGH2-FZ
3/8x50’
See the website. Never Kink.
Attachments available also
I found one at PETRO/TA. One isn’t limited to what is shown as to attachments. I also have use for this at home. Swap out gladhand end, etc.
I like Loves Tire Pass monthly. After a planned overnight shutdown that location. It’s ALWAYS going to be a two psi correction (is how to look at it).
I call ahead to find Tire Service hours as I want earliest departure.
Our trailers are all equipped with auto-inflate. But the hose will reach.
For me the hose is mainly a just-in-case. Glad to have it.
Think I’ll check Harbor Freight and go thru the FLEXILLA site. Might be more I hadn’t considered. I’ve seen hands blowing water and other off their tractors after weather.
EDIT: Looks like a $25 CAMP CHEF 14” DUTCH OVEN BAG will carry.

Cut the end off and get the Milton S693 lock on chuck and splice it in with a hose clamp and a NPT adapter. Or if you have one like pictured above, just thread it on. It will lock on either direction, sometimes you may have to rotate it a little. Worse case you forget about it and it inflates the tire to whatever the governor cutoff is, then just depress the needle and lower it back down to 100-110psi.LoneRanger, Slowmover1 and Oxbow Thank this.
