Ballast
3
CAUTION
(1) Additional ballast will be needed for
operating heavy attachments. When the
attachment is raised, drive slowly over
rough ground, regardless of how much
ballast is used.
(2) Add front ballast to increase front end
stability and help prevent possibile front
end tip up.
(3) Always back up when going up a slope.
Driving forward could cause the
machine to tip over backward. Stay off
hills and slopes too steep for safe
operation.
Front ballast is added for stability and steering control
when heavy rear mounted equipment such as the
rotary tiller is installed.
Front ballast also compensates for weight transferred
to the rear wheels by the draft of towed implements
through the hitch.
Add additional front ballast, if necessary, for stability
and safety during transport of heavy rear mounted
equipment. Front end ballast may not always
maintain the required stabilily if the machine is driven
too fast over rough ground with heavy rear mounted
equipment in the raised position. Use care and drive
slowly under these conditions.
Limit ballast to machine operating capacity. Be sure
to remove ballast when it is not needed.
Add ballast to rear end if needed for stability. Heavy
front mounted attachments tend to lift rear wheels.
Add enough ballast to maintain steering control and
prevent tipover.The Attachment’s Manual shows how
much rear ballast is required for your application.
Rear ballast are available from your KUBOTA Dealer.
