TRACTOR BALLAST

Ballast for your tractor includes front end weights, rear wheel weights and liquid ballast in the rear tire. Front end weights improve the steering characteristic when heavy hitch loads cause a movement of tractor weight from the front to the rear wheels. Rear wheel weights and adding liquid to the rear tires increase traction by putting weight on the driving wheels.

IMPORTANT: The Maximum operating weight of tractor should not exceed the following values. The operating weight of tractor includes the weight of tractor, operator, ballast weight and implement.

Front Axle 610 kg

Rear Axle .............................................. 900 kg

Total..................................................... 1450 kg

Front End Weights (OPTIONAL)

Front end weights can be mounted on the front end bracket of the tractor with locking kit. The weight and locking kit is available from your dealer. A maximum of six weights at 42 lbs. each can be installed, depending on implement application and soil conditions.

Use front end weights as needed to provide effective steering control and front end stability and to achieve maximum operating efficiency and tractor field performance.

NOTE: Turf tire can not be mounted with rear wheel weights.

NOTE: When you have too much ballast installed on the tractor, you will see the clear shape of the tire tread in the ground which is an indication of no slippage. With too little ballast, the tire tread marks will not show because of the tire slippage.
