NR Not Recommended

NOTE: (*) Fluid (calcium chloride) is also required in non-powered rear wheels in addition to suitcase weights when an 8-Row Ear Corn Head or a 6-Meter (20 ft.) Rotary Harvesting Unit is used. Use 87 L (23 U.S. gal) of water and 68 kg (150 lb) of calcium chloride for each tire.

In other applications, the number of suitcase weights can be reduced by 6 if fluid is used in the rear wheels. For 16.5 L x 16.1 tires, fluid with calcium chloride weighs 188 kg (414 lb) per tire.

IMPORTANT: Use a solution consisting of 0.6 kg calcium chloride per liter of water (5.7 lb per U.S.gal). Fill tires only up to a 75% fill level.

NOTE: All machines are equipped with one rear weight plate at the factory. Additional weight may be needed when operating in hilly conditions: weight plates, 50 kg (110 lb) each; suitcase weights, 45 kg (100 lb) each.
