Factors That Affect Stability
Centre of gravity of the tractor/machine combination.
Geometric condition e.g. position of the cutting head and ballast.
Weight, track width and wheelbase of the tractor.
Acceleration, braking, turning and the relative position of the cutting head during
these operations.
Ground conditions, e.g. slope, grip, load capability of the soil/surface.
Rigidity of implement mounting.
Suggestions To Increase Stability
Increasing wheel track; a vehicle 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 tyre 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 (check with tractor manufacturer).
NOTE: The advice above is offered as a guide for stability only and is not a
guide to vehicle strength. It is recommended that you consult your vehicle
manufacturer or local dealer to obtain specific advice on this subject,
additionally advice should be sought from a tyre specialist with regard to tyre
pressures and ratings suitable for the type and nature of the machine you intend
to fit.
