Ballasting Suggestions for Specific Types of Implements

These recommendations are offered as starting points when ballasting for operations with several common types of implements. Some deviations may be needed for specific circumstances.

Towed Draft Implements

Towed equipment that place small vertical loads on the tractor drawbar such as disks, chisel plows, and field cultivators:
MFWD
	8260R	8285R	8310R
QUIK-TATCH Weights	None (support only)	None (support only)	8
Rear Weights	None	1 pair 205 kg (450 lb) 1 pair 75 kg (165 lb)	1 pair 635 kg (1400 lb) and 1 pair 205 kg (450 lb) and 1 pair 75 kg (165 lb)
Independent Link Suspension
	8260R	8285R	8310R	8335R and 8360R
QUIK-TATCH Weights	None	None (support only)	4	8
Rear Weights	None	None	1 pair 635 kg (1400 lb) and 1 pair 75 kg (165 lb)	1 pair 635 kg (1400 lb) and 1 pair 205 kg (450 lb) and 1 pair 75 kg (165 lb)

Trailers, Towed Slurry and Fertilizer Tanks

Implements that place high vertical loads on the drawbar or are connected to a high hitch point such as Premium Wagon Hitch:
MFWD and Independent Link Suspension
Front Ballast	20 QUIK-TATCH weights or 900 kg (1984 lb) block weight.
Rear Ballast	None required. If rear weights are already installed, it is not necessary to remove them.
NOTE: It may be practical to use less front weight with smaller trailers, but steering security and stability must be assured.

Integral and Semi-Integral Implements

Implements that place large vertical loads on the hitch such as mounted rollover plows:
MFWD and Independent Link Suspension
Front Ballast	20 QUIK-TATCH weights or 900 kg (1984 lb) block weight.
Rear Ballast	None
