Add Weight to Front End

CAUTION: Even with front-end ballast, stability is reduced if the tractor is driven too fast over rough ground with machine in raised position. Be safe and drive slow under these conditions.

Install the proper amount of weight on the front of the tractor as recommended in the tractor operator's manual. For proper front end weight, see the following implement code tables.

The implement code number represents the weight of the implement and how far rearward the weight is from the tractor.

NOTE: Dual rear wheels are required for stability and load capacity. A 12-row machine which weighs 4706 kilograms (10 375 pounds) adds 7427 kilograms (16 375 pounds) to the rear axle when the machine is raised. Dual tire spacing on 102 cm (40 in.) rows is 203 and 406 cm (80 and 160 in.), and requires the use of John Deere 38 cm (15 in.) spacers.

For tractor hitch lift requirements and front ballast requirements, use the implement code method on the following pages.

Determine the hitch lift compatibility first to determine if lift assist wheels are needed.
