Ballasting Suggestions for Specific Types of Implements

These recommendations are offered as starting points when ballasting for operations with several common types of implements. Some deviations may be needed for specific circumstances. Track tread setting should be set wide for improved handling, tractive efficiency, and stability.

Light and Medium Implements

Implements that provide light to medium draft loads such as drawn planters, disks, chisel plows and field cultivators.
             
8230T 8-12 QUIK-TATCH weights

Additional weights can be added as long as the total ballasted weight does not exceed 14301 kg (31500 lb).

 

Heavy Implements

Heavy implements that place large loads on the hitch and drawbar such as rippers and hitch mounted planters.
