摘要

In this month's tech instalment, Josh Giumelli tries out a TPMS, otherwise known as a tyre pressure monitoring system. Is it really as easy as screwing some sensors on your valve stems and plugging a monitor into the 12V outlet?Most farmers hardly need reminding of the importance of maintaining correct tyre pressure.On the road, incorrect tyre pressure can cost you plenty in fuel and can easily shorten tyre life by half. Out in the paddock, poor tyre pressure can affect wheel slip or tractor stability and also shortens tyre life.
