IMPORTANT:
To extend drive train life and avoid excessive soil compaction and rolling resistance, avoid adding too much ballast. Ballast should never exceed the weight required to provide traction for continuous full power loads in 8th gear (Powershift) or B-2 (PowrQuad) in two-wheel drive operation.
Do not overload tires. If maximum weight shown in chart is not enough
|
for safety, reduce load or install heavier ply tires.
Tractors with MFWD should have adequate ballast to properly load front wheels. Remove ballast when it is no longer needed.
Remove ballast if tractor engine labors when pulling heavy loads in gears slower than 8th (Powershift) or B-2 (PowrQuad). When using front-wheel drive, ballast may be increased to allow continuous full power operation in 7th gear (Powershift) or B-1 (PowrQuad).
