D. Optional Transmission and Axle Weights

Adding an axle or transmission option to a tractor will affect the weight on the front and rear axle based on the option selected and the model tractor. The following chart shows the effect on the axle by option and model. (The 2290 and 2335 have no axle options available.)

F.Diesel Fuel

Fuel added to the fuel tanks has to be factored in to the base tractor weight. To do this, use the following equation:

liters of fuel x 0.84 kg/L = fuel weight (kg) (Gallons of fuel x 7.01 lbs./gal.) = fuel weight (lbs.)

The effect on the front and rear axle must also be calculated. Multiply the total fuel weight by 0.58 for the front axle and 0.42 for the rear axle.

Example:

100 L fuel added

100 L x 0.84 kg/L = 84 kg

84 kg x 0.58 = 49 kg added to front axle 84 kg x 0.42 = 35 kg added to rear axle

100 gal. fuel added

100 gal. x 7.01 lbs./gal. = 701 lbs.

701 lbs. x 0.58 = 407 lbs. added to front axle 701 lbs. x 0.42 = 294 lbs. added to rear axle
