Determining Front Ballast

Example: 9 standard, 127 x 178 mm (5 x 7 in.) frame, 508 mm (20 in.) spacing, safety-trip standards, and cushion coulters.

Step 1-Find your V-Ripper size in the IMPLEMENT CODE TABLE and enter its code on line 1.

Step 2-Enter an Implement Code for each attachment on line 2.

Step 3-Add these codes to obtain Total Implement Code.

Step 4-Select additions or subtractions from tractor Operator's Manual.

Step 5-Refer to tractor Operator's Manual to determine required tractor front ballast.

IMPORTANT: If the total implement code exceeds the maximum implement code listed for a specific tractor model, the implement attachment is not recommended for that tractor.

The total load on any tractor wheel, due to the weight of the implement-attachment combination and tractor equipment, should not exceed the carrying capacity of the tractor tires.
