3.3 Tractor Ballast

Before operating tractor and loader, add sufficient counterweight so a minimum of 25% of the total weight is on the rear axle. Total weight includes weight of: tractor, loader, rated load in bucket, and counterweight. Rated load is lift capacity at full height at 500mm forward of bucket pivot point (See Standard Equipment and Specifications). When determining required counterweight bucket should be at maximum forward position (bucket pivot point at the same height as boom pivot point on mast).

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 3-Point hitch counterweights are used, they should be carried as low as possible at all times to maximize stability. Effective counterbalance weight at rear axle of mounted rear equipment is determined by multiplying actual weight of equipment by 1.50.

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. OPS-L- 0001_A

4. Getting On and Off the Tractor

Do not mount or dismount the Tractor while the tractor is moving. Mount the Tractor only when the Tractor and all moving parts are completely stopped.

Before getting onto the tractor, the operator must read and completely understand the implement and tractor operator manuals. If any part of either manual is not completely understood, consult an authorized dealer for a complete explanation. OPS-L- 0022
