Ballast Limitations
Ballast must be limited by either tire capacity or tractor capacity. Each tire has a recommended carrying capacity which should not be exceeded (see in Section 65 "Wheels, Tires and Treads").
If a greater traction is needed, a larger single tire should be considered.
In this case the selected tires should be amongst those approved and the front to rear tire combination for front wheel drive version should be such as to maintain the correct pre - run ratio.
See your John Deere dealer for information and details.
