14.2 Calculation of the weight ratios
If you want to drive with an implement that is attached to the 3-point linkage, you must
ensure that you do not exceed the tractor's permissible axle loads and tyre load
capacities with the mounted implement.
The front axle of the tractor must be loaded with at least 20 % of the net weight of the
tractor.
All of these values can be determined with this calculation:
