Planning for Maximum Productivity

Proper ballasting is an important factor in tractor performance. Maximum productivity can be achieved only if tractor weight is appropriate for the job.

John Deere provides additional information on performance ballasting in two of the manuals in the series “Fundamentals of Machine Operations”.

(See John Deere Service Literature Available in this manual.):

• “Tractors” provides information on determining correct tractor weight and ballast selection.
• “Machinery Management” provides information on implement matching and increasing productivity.
• John Deere dealer assists with the information on these subjects.
