Match Ballast to Work Load

Use no more ballast than necessary and remove ballast when it is no longer required.

Rather than weighing tractor down to pull heavy loads, try to reduce load. Pulling a lighter load is more economical and more efficient.

Not Enough Ballast	Too Much Ballast
Excessive wheel slip	Increased load
Power loss due to churning of soil	Power loss due to carrying extra weight
Tire wear	Tire strain
Fuel waste	Soil compaction
Lower productivity	Fuel waste
