SECTION 2 - OPERATION

Additional rear weight can be added by installing an auxiliary rear weight kit, 1. This kit has twenty-four 30 kg (67-lb.) suitcase-style weights and, along with its brackets and hardware, weighs approximately 738 kg (1628 lbs.). This auxiliary rear weight kit is in addition to, and not part of, the rear weight that fastens to the rear of the tractor.

Auxiliary rear weights can be taken off by removing the tie rod, 1, then loosening the nut on the front of the bracket, removing the bolt, 2, and clip, 3, and lifting the weight from the bracket.

NOTE: The auxiliary rear weight kit cannot be installed on tractors that have a 3-point hitch option. It can be installed on tractors that have a PTO or rear weight kit installed.

After dry ballast has been installed on the tractor, liquid ballast (if required) should be put into the wheels evenly across the duals or triples. This will allow lower tire air pressures to be used to help improve the ride of the tractor. Tire air pressure is based on the individual load a tire will carry. The total weight on the axle should be divided by the number of tires on that axle to determine the load that each individual tire will carry. By using the “Tire Load and Inflation Tables” in Section 5, proper tire air pressure can be determined.

For more information on liquid ballast and tire air pressures, refer to the charts in Section 5.

Never exceed the maximum operating weight of a specific model tractor as specified in the following chart. Staying as close as possible to the recommended operating weights will provide the greatest degree of customer satisfaction and tractor performance.
