IMPORTANT: Add enough weights to keep steering function when braking.

Do not overload rear tires, especially when header is removed.

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 16.5/85-24 8PR 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.
