9TIRES, WHEELS AND BALLAST
BFront Ballast
Add weights if needed for stability and improve 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.
C Front End Weights (option)
The front end weights can be attached to the bumper.
See your implement operator's manual for required
number of weights or consult your local KUBOTA Dealer
to use.
A Do not overload tires.
A Add no more weight than indicated in chart.
BRear 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, rear wheel weights, and/or cast iron disks.
C Cast Iron Disk
The cast iron rear wheel disk may be utilized to provide
additional rear weight.
C 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. See your tire dealer for this service.
Liquid weight per tire (75 Percent filled)
A Do not fill tires with water or solution more than 75% of
full capacity (to the valve stem level).
