Determining Maximum Front Ballast

Use appropriate front ballast for a particular operating condition. Two-wheel drive tractors should only have enough ballast to maintain safe steering control. MFWD equipped tractors should have adequate ballast to properly load front wheels. Remove ballast when it is no longer needed.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT overload tires. If maximum weight shown in chart is not enough for safety, reduce load or install tires with a higher load rating.

NOTE: DO NOT install rear wheel weights on a High Clearance tractor.

NOTE: Consult your tire dealer for tire inflation pressure and capacity values.
