Implement Codes
DO NOT attempt to transport an implement without adequate
front ballast. Lack of steering control results.
John Deere engineers have developed a code to determine how much front ballast is needed for stability and steering control.
-
Find implement code in the implement operator's manual.
-
Use the following chart to determine how many Quik-Tatch™ front weights are required on your machine 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 machine configuration. The number you find on the chart is the number of Quik-Tatch™ weights needed.
Example: A code 100 implement, on an MFWD machine, with a quick coupler, and without liquid in the front tires, requires 4 front weights.
With maximum front ballast, do not attempt to transport an implement whose code exceeds:
- 115 for 2WD
- 137 for MFWD
