IMPORTANT:
Do not overload tires. If maximum weight shown in chart is not enough for safety, reduce load or install tires with more load capacity.
NOTE:
For tractors with dual rear tires, maximum ballast is not normally limited by tire carrying capacity.
Use appropriate front ballast for a particular operating condition. Two-wheel drive tractors should have only enough ballast to maintain safe steering control. MFWD equipped tractors should have adequate ballast to correctly load front wheels.
Adjust ballast as tractor use changes.
For example, adjust ballast when changing from mounted to towed implements.

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 B-2 for two-wheel drive operation.
Remove ballast if tractor engine labors when pulling heavy loads. When using front-wheel drive, ballast may be increased to allow continuous full power operation in B-1.
