ASSEMBLY

Suggestions to increase stability:

•Increasing rear wheel track; a tractor with a wider wheel track is more stable.

•Ballasting the wheel; it is preferable to use external weights but liquid can be added to around 75% of the tire volume – water with anti-freeze or the heavier Calcium Chloride alternative can be used.

•Addition of weights – care should be taken in selecting the location of the weights to ensure they are added to a position that offers the greatest advantage.

•Front axle locking; a cylinder can be used to ‘lock’ the front axle in work only – locking the axle moves the ‘balance line’ and can be used to transfer weight to the front axle from the rear (check with tractor manufacturer).

The advice above is offered as a guide for stability only and is not a guide to tractor strength - it is therefore recommended that you consult your tractor manufacturer or local dealer to obtain specific advise on this subject, additionally advice should be sought from a tire specialist with regard to tire pressures and ratings suitable for the type and nature of the machine you intend to fit.
