Operate 1890 in Hilly Conditions and Addition of Ballast

CAUTION:

A48819-UN-04JUN02

Operating, steering, and braking control of the tractor can be reduced or lost when operating on steep slopes. Steep slopes can cause the tool to tip forward.

IMPORTANT: To maintain the necessary ground contact and stability, ballast the seeding tool as follows:

• Tow-Behind operation

  Air cart capacity must not exceed 195 bushels. When using a tow-behind cart, rear of seeding tool must be ballasted with at least 14 tractor suitcase weights of 100 lbs. each. Do not operate on slopes greater than 27% grade (15 degrees) under any conditions.

• Tow-Between operation

  Tow-between cart does not operate safely on slopes greater than 32% grade (18 degrees) without ballast. Install at least 14 tractor suitcase weights of 100 lbs. each on rear of seeding tool. Do not operate on slopes greater than 40% grade (22 degrees) under any conditions.
