Recommended Accessories

For best performance, it is recommended to use tire chains and two rear wheel weights. A rear-mounted weight carrier can also be added for additional traction. The maximum weight added to the tractor should not exceed 35 lbs. per wheel, plus 100 additional pounds in the rear weight box.

For operation on slopes greater than 15% (8.5°), Quick Tach Weights, tire chains, and wheel weights are recom- mended. Never operate on slopes greater than 17.6% (10°).

Required Accessories

A Lift Lever Kit is required for the models covered by this manual, and must be installed as part of hitch installa- tion.
