Ballast Notes:

  1. Per ASABE EP562 a minimum rear tread setting of 1825 mm is recommended. Above ballast based on this tread setting.
  2. Due to some tractor loader combinations resulting in high front axle loads, 3-point hitch ballast is required as noted
  3. Open operator station 4 cylinder tractors require additional 350 kg rear axle ballast when hitch ballast used (additional 100 kg for 6 cylinders).
  4. Open operator station 4 cylinder tractors require additional 500 kg rear axle ballast when hitch ballast not used (additional 150 kg for 6 cylinders).
  5. Rear axle ballast based on steel wheels. For cast wheels, reduce requirement by 220 kg per wheel.
