IMPORTANT:
Do not overload tires. If maximum weight shown in chart is not enough for safety, reduce load or install tires with more load capacity.
NOTE:
For tractors with dual tires, maximum ballast is not normally limited by tire carrying capacity.
Use appropriate ballast for a particular operating condition. Tractors should have only enough ballast to maintain safe steering control.
Adjust ballast as tractor use changes.
For example, adjust ballast when changing from mounted to towed implements.
IMPORTANT:
To extend drive train life and avoid excessive soil compaction and
|
rolling resistance, avoid adding too much ballast. Never add ballast that results in continuous full-power loads below 6.6 km/h (4.1 mph).
Remove ballast if tractor engine labors when pulling heavy loads below 6.6 km/h (4.1 mph).
