Additional rear weight can be added by installing
an auxiliary rear weight kit, 1. This kit has
twenty-four 30 kg (67-lb.) suitcase-style weights
and, along with its brackets and hardware,
weighs approximately 738 kg (1628 lbs.). This
auxiliary rear weight kit is in addition to, and not
part of, the rear weight that fastens to the rear of
the tractor.
Auxiliary rear weights can be taken off by
removing the tie rod, 1, then loosening the nut on
the front of the bracket, removing the bolt, 2, and
clip, 3, and lifting the weight from the bracket.
NOTE: The auxiliary rear weight kit cannot be
installed on tractors that have a 3-point hitch
option. It can be installed on tractors that
have a PTO or rear weight kit installed.
After dry ballast has been installed on the tractor,
liquid ballast (if required) should be put into the
wheels evenly across the duals or triples. This
will allow lower tire air pressures to be used to
help improve the ride of the tractor. Tire air
pressure is based on the individual load a tire will
carry. The total weight on the axle should be
divided by the number of tires on that axle to
determine the load that each individual tire will
carry. By using the “Tire Load and Inflation
Tables” in Section 5, proper tire air pressure can
be determined.

For more information on liquid ballast and tire air
pressures, refer to the charts in Section 5.
Never exceed the maximum operating weight of
a specific model tractor as specified in the
following chart. Staying as close as possible to
the recommended operating weights will
provide the greatest degree of customer
satisfaction and tractor performance.
