Ballast
Fluid ballasting of rear caster tires is recommended to provide adequate machine stability when using large headers on the windrower. Also, the stability of machine varies with different attachments, windrower options, terrain and operator driving technique.
Ballast capability per tire is at a maximum fill of 75 %, or when fluid is level with valve stem when the stem is positioned at Top or 12:0’clock position. Fluid can be added to any level up to maximum fill. Always add an equal amount of fluid on both sides.

* Weights are given for typical calcium chloride and water mixtures. Weight is reduced by 20 % if only water is used (for areas that do not require anti-freeze protection).
* If only water is used, increase volume of water by 20 % (up to maximum allowable fill per tire) to compensate.

A weight box is available from your dealer. For the W110 windrower the box allows transporting the header behind the windrower by providing additional weight on the drive wheels.
For the W150 windrower the weight box allows engine-forward transport in high range when the header is not attached.
