IMPORTANT:
To extend drive train life and avoid excessive soil compaction and rolling resistance, avoid adding too much ballast.
Do not overload tires. If maximum weight shown in chart is not enough for safety, reduce load or install heavier ply tires.
Tractors Equipped with Two-Wheel Drive
Ballast should never exceed the weight required to provide traction for continuous full power loads in B-2 (PowrQuad-Plus) in two-wheel drive operation.

Tractors Equipped with MFWD
Tractors with MFWD should have adequate ballast to properly load front wheels. Remove ballast when it is no longer needed. When using front-wheel drive, ballast may be increased to allow continuous full power operation in B-1 (PowrQuad-Plus).
Tractors Equipped with IVT Transmission
Overballasting will not cause the engine to labor due to the automatic shifting capability of the IVT transmission. Apply the same guidelines for determining maximum ballast in order to extend drivetrain life and to avoid excessive soil compaction.
