Implement Codes

Use the following tables to determine the number of front weights to use with John Deere implements. Implement code data can be found in the ballasting section of the implement operator’s manual.

Match the implement code from the implement manual with the codes for your machine and type of hitch. If the code falls between two numbers in the table, use the next higher number for the number of front weights to use with that implement.

These codes are for ideal conditions. Actual field conditions can require additional ballast. Some John Deere implements require using a certain number of front weights rather than giving implement codes.

Maximum allowable ballasted weight is 4000 kg (8820 lb.)

Tire Capacities

Avoid damage! Do not overload tires. Do not exceed tire maximum inflation pressure or maximum load capacity.

If necessary ballast exceeds tire load capacity, reduce load or install other tires.

Recommended operating pressures for Golf tires are 6 psi rear and 8 psi front. Operate at reduced loads. If MFWD is engaged with tires at maximum air pressure, front axle damage may result.

See tire maximum inflation pressure and maximum load capacities in the Specifications section.

Verify maximum tire inflation pressure and maximum load information if embossed into the tire side wall.
