General Weight Split Guidelines
Weight split requirements are based on type of implement or attachment being used. A primary consideration is to maintain sufficient weight on front and rear axles to provide stability and steering security under both field and transport conditions. Other factors as indicated in following tables must also be considered.
IMPORTANT: As front weight and tread width increase, steering capacity of tractor is reduced.

In all cases percentage on front axle must be increased if needed for steering security and stability.
MFWD: No more than 40% on front axle. This is required for power hop control. (See Controlling Power Hop in this section for details.)
CAUTION: Do not exceed front tire carrying capacities when using
high percentages of front weight. See Tire Load Rating in Front Wheels,
Tires, and Treads Section for more information.

1 Front weight requirements
are determined by weight of hitch-mounted implements. Enough front
weights need to be added to maintain steering control. See Implement
Codes in this section for more information.
