Installing QUIK-TATCH™ Front Weights-If Equipped

Proper tractor balance under load is crucial for maximizing tractor performance and minimizing ground pressure.

Up to 26 QUIK-TATCH weights can be added to the front of the tractor. Front weights are used to maintain total front-to-rear tract contact depending on application.

Towed implements that produce high draft loads or implements that transfer high amounts of weight to the rear axle, will require higher amounts of front weights.

When required, install QUIK-TATCH weights, balanced on each side of center (A). The first two weights must be installed as a pair.

To hold six weights or fewer in position, insert retaining bolts (B) through holes and secure with a nut. Tighten to 230 N·m (170 lb-ft).

When eight or more weights are installed, insert retainers between weights, one with threaded hole upward and the other with threaded hole downward.

IMPORTANT: Do not add additional side or frame weights in excess of the factory available frame-weight capacity. Structural damage of the tractor could result and warranty may be voided.
