Use Implement Codes

CAUTION: Do NOT attempt to transport an implement without adequate front ballast. It results lack of steering control.

John Deere engineers have developed a code to determine how much front ballast is needed for stability and steering control.

  1. Find implement code in the implement the operator manual

  2. Use the following chart to determine how many QUIK-TATCHä front weights are required on the tractor model.

    To use chart, find the implement code range in the left column into which your implement code fits. Then move to the right until you are beneath the column which identifies your tractor configuration. The numbers given in the chart correspond to the QuikTach™ weights needed.

    With maximum front ballast, do not attempt to transport an implement whose code exceeds:

    • 115 for 2-WD Tractor
    • 137 for MFWD Tractor
