TIRES, WHEELS AND BALLAST
A Always attach tires as shown in the drawings. A If not attached as illustrated, transmission parts may be damaged. A When re-fitting or adjusting a wheel, tighten the bolts to the following torques then recheck after driving the tractor 200 m (200 yards) and 10 times of shuttle movement by 5 m (5 yards), and thereafter according to service interval. (See "MAINTENANCE" section.)
[Wheels without beveled or tapered holes] A Use the flat side of the lug nut. Make sure to apply the spring washer.
(1) Lug nut (2) Spring washer
BALLAST (1) 145 to 150 N-m (14.8 to 15.3 kgf-m, 107.0 to 110.6 ft-lbs)
[Wheels with beveled or tapered holes] A Use the tapered side of lug nut.
To avoid personal injury: A Additional ballast will be needed for transporting heavy implements. When the implement is raised, drive slowly over rough ground, regardless of how much ballast is used. A Do not fill the front wheels with liquid.
BFront Ballast Add weights if needed for stability and improving traction. Heavy pulling and heavy rear mounted implements tend to lift front wheels. Add enough ballast to maintain steering control and prevent tip over. Remove weight when no longer needed.

C Front End Weights (option) The front end weights can be attached to the bumper. See your implement operator's manual for required number of weights or consult your local KUBOTA Dealer to use. [For installation of up to three weights] A Besides the weight, mounting bolt kit(s) are required for mounting the weight. [For installation of up to five weights] A Besides the weight, a front weight bracket and mounting bolt kit(s) are required for mounting the weight.
