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.

Light Implements
Drawn planters, air seeders, and PTO operated equipment that place small vertical loads on the tractor drawbar.

IMPORTANT: 8130 2WD tractors DO NOT need any weights added to the tractor to pull towed draft implements with small vertical loads on the drawbar.
