IMPORTANT: Use a scale to check static weight, especially with heavy implements. Static weight remaining on the front wheels with the implement lifted should always be at least 50 percent of the weight with the implement resting on the ground.

Determine the following:

• MFWD, or Independent Link Suspension
• Front tires with or without liquid

Find implement code in John Deere implement operator's manual.

To find implement code for non-John Deere implements use the following procedure:

2. Measure distance from implement hitch point to center of gravity. Record the distance (inches). Add 37 to this figure.

3. Determine the implement weight (fully loaded). Record the weight (pounds).

4. Multiply Step 2 by Step 3. Divide by 1000.

5. Resulting number is the implement code.

Use the prior information and refer to the appropriate chart to determine how many QUIK-TATCH weights are required.

CAUTION: Do not attempt to transport an implement without adequate front ballast. Loss of steering control may result. With maximum front ballast, do not attempt to transport an implement whose code exceeds:

• 650 for MFWD

• 835 for 8130, 8230, and 8330 with Independent Link Suspension

• 865 for 8430 and 8530 with Independent Link Suspension

NOTE: If no quick coupler is used, add 15 to code.

IMPORTANT: Tractor code must be greater than or equal to the implement code.
