TRACTOR PREPARATION
Rear Counterweight
CAUTION: Add recommended rear tire liquid weight, rear wheel or rear
ballast for increased stability.
CAUTION: Do not exceed the manufacturer’s rating for maximum gross
vehicle weight. Refer to Operator’s Manual or ROPS serial plate
provided with tractor.
The use of adequate counterweight to counter balance for maximum loader capacity is required
for safe loader operation.
Weight added to rear of the tractor provides better traction and easier, more efficient loader
operation. The tractor can be counterweighted by filling rear tires with liquid calcium solution
and/or by the installation of rear wheel weights.
Additional counterweight requirements will vary with loader attachments and equipment
applications. Additional weight can be added by installation of Three Point Hitch mounted
ballast.
CAUTION: Certain specific conditions may not permit safe use of loader
at loader rating or may require more careful restricted operation at the
rated load.
Refer to Tractor Operator’s Manual for specific recommendations on counterweighting tractor.
ROPS System
The tractor must be equipped with an approved ROPS System to ensure adequate operator’s
protection.
Tractor Hydraulic System
Tractor operation in a loader application significantly increases demands on the tractor
Hydraulic System. Check the tractor Hydraulic system fluid level daily. Refer to your tractor
Operator’s Manual maintenance section for instructions regarding tractor hydraulic system
maintenance.
Adhere to recommendations in your Tractor Operator’s Manual concerning hydraulic fluid and
filter specifications, and change intervals.
CAUTION: The tractor/loader must only be operated with all safety
equipment properly installed.
