Selecting Ballast

When determining front and rear axle ballast, ensure that permissible axle loads and the maximum permissible machine weight are not exceeded (see Specifications).

Comply with local regulations regarding installation and maximum permissible number of weights. In order to maintain steerability, at least 20% of total weight must be on the front axle.

Use suitable lifting tackle/hoists when handling weights.

Safety and performance of your tractor depend on correct ballasting of front axle (front weights) and rear axle (wheel weights, filling tires with liquid ballast, pick-up weight).
