Barrier Mower RI 60-80 

 

11 

Factors that affect stability 

  Centre of gravity of the tractor/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.
