Additional Weights (Ballasting)
Depending on the configuration of forage harvester/rotary
harvesting unit, there may be considerable variations in
ballast requirements with the support wheel attached.
IMPORTANT: Add enough weights to keep
four-wheel drive efficiency and steering
function when braking.
Do not overload rear tires, especially when
rotary harvesting unit is removed.
Keep adding additional weights until the weight
on the front axle of the forage harvester (with
support wheel attached) is no more than
11500 kg (25353 lb.) maximum.
NOTE: For detailed information on how to install ballast,
see Operator's Manual of the forage harvester.

NOTE: Weight of one plate = 170 kg (375 lb)
The number of weight plates is an example and is
applicable to forage harvester with cracker installed
and four-wheel drive. The ballasting has to be adjusted
depending on the equipment and tires.
IMPORTANT: Do not overload rear tires, especially
when rotary harvesting unit is removed.
For driving on public roads without the rotary
harvesting unit remove the ballast weights.
