The front axle must systematically support at least 20 % of the tractor's empty weight. Refer to the tractor user

the sum of:
- the tractor's empty weight,

This instruction only applies in Germany:
If the axle loads and/or the total authorised weight are not complied with after all the possibilities have been
exhausted, the competent authority according to the law of the Land may issue a waiver based on the report
of an approved expert in the field of motor vehicle circulation and with the agreement of the manufacturer, in
accordance with article 70 of the German law governing the authorisation of vehicles to use the public highway,
and the obligatory authorisation under the German highway code.
