Towed Implements
IMPORTANT:
Total ballasted weight cannot exceed 22,680 kg (50,000 lb).
Implements providing a light-to-medium draft load usually require 12-20 front weights. Larger implements may require 20-26 front weights.
NOTE:
Additional front weight is used to counteract the weight transfer caused by implement draft.
Additional side weights can be added to bracket on outboard side of track frame if excessive traction slip (greater than 5 percent) is encountered, as long as the total maximum weight is not exceeded.
Integral and Semi-Integral Implements
Most hitch-mounted implements require 26 front weights. Additional side weights can be added, as long as the total maximum weight is not exceeded.
IMPORTANT:
Total ballasted weight cannot exceed 22,680 kg (50,000 lb).
Hitch-mounted implements require gauge wheels when implement is engaged so tractor does not support all of the weight of the implement.

IMPORTANT:
Avoid possible machine damage by checking implement to track clearance before field operation after making any hitch adjustments. Check the full range of hitch for interference, binding, or PTO separation whenever an implement is attached.
Follow suggested guidelines, if 26 front weights are insufficient to provide an even weight distribution under the tracks when pulling a load:
Adjust implement gauge wheels to support most of the implement's weight with implement engaged.
Attach implement to tractor without the quick coupler to allow the implement to be attached 89 mm (3.5 in.) closer to the tractor, reducing the amount of weight transferred from the front of the tractor.
Set sway blocks for partial sway

or full sway, depending on the accuracy needed for an application. Full sway works best for heavy draft implements.
Set hitch lateral float pins in the upper holes to allow the draft links to float independently.
