Ballasting Front End for Transport

LV9683-UN-17AUG04

A - Ballast Center

B - Ballast Retaining Bolt

CAUTION: Additional front ballast may be needed for transporting rear-mounted implements. Heavy pulling and heavy rear-mounted implements tend to lift front wheels. When handling weights, use proper lifting equipment. Approximate weight of QUIK-TATCH weights is 47 kg (104 lb). Drive slowly over rough ground when implement is raised.

NOTE: Determine the minimum number of front weights required from implement code in implement operator's manual.

Up to 10 Quik-Tatch™ weights can be installed on the front of the tractor.

1. Add weight to front end to maintain stability and steering control. Install weights in pairs, one on each side of center (A).

2. To hold weights in place, insert retaining bolts (B) through holes from side-to-side. Tighten to specification.
