Determine Maximum Rear Ballast

IMPORTANT: DO NOT overload tyres. If maximum weight shown in chart is not enough for safety, reduce load or install heavier ply tyres.

To extend drive train life, avoid excessive soil compaction and rolling resistance, avoid adding too much ballast. Ballast should never exceed the weight required to provide traction for continuous full power loads in 3rd gear. Remove ballast if tractor engine labors when pulling heavy loads in the third gears.

Chart shows carrying capacity per tyre.

MAXIMUM LOAD PER WHEEL
Tyre Size Bias Ply Tyres	Ply Rating	Capacity kg (lb)
14.9-28	8*/12	1545 (3406)
16.9-28	12	1840 (4050)
16.9-30	12	2055 (4531)
18.4-30	12/14	2550 (5628)
