Factors that affect stability
Centre of gravity of the veichle/machine combination.
Geometric conditions, e.g. position of the cutting head and ballast.
Weight, track width and wheelbase of the tractor.
Acceleration, braking, turning and the relative position of the cutting head
during these operations.
Ground conditions, e.g. slope, grip, load capability of the soil/surface.
Rigidity of implement mounting.
Suggestions to increase stability
Increasing rear wheel track; a vehicle with a wider wheel track is more
stable.
Ballasting the wheel; it is preferable to use external weights but liquid can
be added to around 75% of the tyre volume
– water with anti-freeze or the
heavier Calcium Chloride alternative can be used.
Addition of weights
– care should be taken in selecting the location of the
weights to ensure they are added to a position that offers the greatest
advantage.
Front axle locking (check with tractor manufacturer).
NOTE: The advice above is offered as a guide for stability only and is not a guide to vehicle
strength. It is recommended that you consult your vehicle manufacturer or local dealer to obtain
specific advice on this subject, additionally advice should be sought from a tyre specialist with
regard to tyre pressures and ratings suitable for the type and nature of the machine you intend
to fit.
