Calculating Minimum Tractor Weight for Safe Transport

CAUTION: Use of a tractor ballasted to less than the minimum tractor weight can result in loss of control and serious injury or death.

CAUTION: Do not transport a planter that is more one half full of seed and or fertilizer. Do not transport a towed load (such as a fertilizer tank) unless it is empty.

IMPORTANT: Always refer to the tractor operator's manual for further safe transport information.

If a towed load is attached to the rear of the implement, add the towed loads weight to the total weight of the implement before dividing by 1.5.

FORMULA: Total Weight of Implement ÷ 1.5 = Minimum Tractor Weight for Safe Transport
