A - Ballast Box

Weight can be added to the ballast box (A) by adding material such as sand or concrete. If more weight is required, tractor Quik-tach weights can be used.

A ballast box extension is available to increase the capacity of the ballast box. See a John Deere dealer for more information.

A 3-point hitch mounted implement can be used as ballast, but it must meet the weight requirements of the ballast chart. See a John Deere dealer for more information.
