4.8. Tractor weighing.
For maximum performance in heavy draft conditions weight should be added to the tractor in the form
of liquid ballast, cast iron weights or a combination of both.
Front-end ballast may be required for stability and steering control when weight is transferred from the
front to the rear wheels as the implement is raised by the tractor three-point linkage.
Weighing limitations
Additional weights cab be applied:
to front weight carrier - 4 wafer weights of 22 kg each and central tow hook of 40 kg
(4x22 kg + 40 kg =128 kg),
to rear wheels
– 2 rear wheel weights of 35 kg each and 4 additional weights of 32 kg each
(2x35 kg+4x32 kg = 198 kg).
WARNING:
!
Take special care when carry and assembly rear wheel weights and front weight
carrier, due to it’s high weight – should be done by two persons.
