How do I know if my tires are liguid filled or air filled?

My battery is oozing from the negative side mostly but also from the positive side as well. I onlky use the tractor 3 times a month and it sits in a garage. Should I unhook the terminal when not in use?

Thanks in advance for you help.

Roll your valve stem in the down postion. Push the valve stem and see if air or fluid comes out. If fluid, roll it to higher positions and do the same to determine the fluid level.

Some say its good disconnect for long peroid

Hard to offer any help when you've not said what model Yanmar you have.

If we're talking one of the gray market models, a diesel, with switch off, there should be NO current draw on the battery. Shouldn't make any diff connected or not. Mine sets for months on end during the winter months, I've never disconnected the battery.
