Checking for Correct Ballast

The best way to check for correct ballast is to measure amount of travel reduction (% slip) of the drive wheels. Under normal field conditions, travel reduction should be 10-15%.

Add more weight to drive wheels if slip is excessive. If there is less than 10% slip, weight should be removed.
