CAUTION
To avoid personal injury:
• Additional ballast will be needed for transporting heavy implements. When the implement is raised, drive
slowly over rough ground, regardless of how much ballast is used.
• Do not fill the front wheels with liquid.

Front Ballast
Add weights if needed for stability and improving traction. Heavy
pulling and heavy rear mounted implements tend to lift front wheels.
Add enough ballast to maintain steering control and prevent tip
over.
Remove weight when no longer needed.
 Front End Weights (Option)
The front end weights can be attached to the bumper.
NOTE
• [For installation of up to three weights]
Besides the weight, mounting bolt kit(s) are required for
mounting the weight.
• [For installation of up to five weights]
Besides the weight, a front weight bracket and mounting
bolt kit(s) are required for mounting the weight.
IMPORTANT
• Do not overload tires.
• Add no more weight than indicated in chart.

Rear Ballast
Add weight to rear wheels if needed to improve traction or for
stability. The amount of rear ballast should be matched to job and
the ballast should be removed when it is not needed.
The weight should be added to the tractor in the form of liquid
ballast.
 Liquid Ballast in Rear Tires
Water and calcium chloride solution provides safe economical
ballast. Used properly, it will not damage tires, tubes or rims. The
addition of calcium chloride is recommended to prevent the water
from freezing. Use of this method of weighting the wheels has the
full approval of the tire companies.
