Determining Front Ballast—Integral

IMPORTANT: If total implement code exceeds maximum implement code listed for a particular tractor model, implement configuration is not recommended for that tractor.

Determining Front Ballast—Example
	Quantity	Multiply	Moment Code	Equals	Implement Code
Main Frame	NA	NA	84	=	84
Standards without Setback	4	x	15	=	60
Standards with Setback	3	x	23	=	69
Stabilizer Wheels	NA	NA	8	=	8
Parking Stands	2	x	3	=	6
Coulters	7	x	4	=	28
Closing Wheels without Setback	4	x	8	=	32
Closing Wheels with Setback	3	x	9	=	27
			Total Implement Code	=	314

Determining Front Ballast—Your Implement Code
	Quantity	Multiply	Moment Code	Equals	Implement Code
Main Frame	NA	NA		=
Standards without Setback		x		=
Standards with Setback		x		=
Stabilizer Wheels	NA	NA		=
Parking Stands		x		=
Coulters		x		=
Closing Wheels without Setback		x		=
Closing Wheels with Setback		x		=
			Total Implement Code	=

1. Find moment code for main frame size. (See IMPLEMENT CODE TABLES.) Enter value on line 1 under Moment Code in Determining Front Ballast—Your Implement Code table. In example, 84 identifies a 6 m (19 ft 6 in.) main frame size.

2. Enter quantity of options for machine. In example, there are seven standards, two parking stands, seven coulters, and seven closing wheels. For optional setback bars, distribute number of standards and closing wheels accordingly.

3. Enter moment codes for machine options on applicable lines.

4. Multiply quantity times given moment code as required. In example, seven coulters multiplied by four equals 28.

5. Add numbers in right-hand column to arrive at total implement code. In example, this is 314.
