OPERATION
To ensure tractor stability when operating add wheel ballast or rear weights to rear tractor tires. For better stability, use tractor with wide front axle rather than tricycle front wheels. Move wheels to the tractor manufacturer’s widest recommended settings to increase stability. If
EXAMPLE: Equipment weighing 800 pounds, attached to tractor, multiplied by 1.50, equals 1200 pounds of effective counterbalance weight at rear axle.
A tractor that does not meet this criteria is DANGEROUS and should not be operated as upset of the unit can occur resulting in possible serious injury and property damage.
