Tractor Shipping Weight
C.. Weight Packages
Adding a front or rear weight package to a tractor affects the weight distribution per axle as well as the total tractor weight.. In addition, the actual weight effect applied to the axle is amplified by the distance the weight is hung away from the axle center line.. The following chart shows the gross weight of each weight kit and the net result of adding the kit on the front and rear axle..

Multiply every pound of weight added to the front weight kit by 1..71 and add this figure to the front axle.. Multiply every pound of weight added to the front weight kit by 0..71 and subtract this figure from the rear axle weight.. The total effect on the tractor should be the sum of the front rear and should equal the weight added..
Multiply every pound of weight added to the upper rear weight kit by 0..78 and add this figure to the rear axle.. Multiply every pound of weight added to the upper rear weight kit by 0..22 and add this figure from the front axle weight.. The total effect on the tractor should be the sum of the front effect less the rear effect and should equal the weight added..
Multiply every pound of weight added to the rear weight kit by 1.16 and add this figure to the rear axle.. Multiply every pound of weight added to the auxiliary rear weight kit by 0.16 and subtract this figure from the front axle weight.. The total effect on the tractor should be the sum of the front effect less the rear effect and should equal the weight added.
