4.3.1 Calculating the ballasting
The permissible total weight, the permissible axle loads and the tyre load bearing ca-
pacity must not be exceeded when mounting or connecting implements.
The front axle of the tractor must always be loaded with at least 20 % of the curb
weight of the tractor.
Ø
Check before road transport whether the tractor used is suitable for this imple-
ment and whether it is not overloaded.
Ø
Weigh the implement separately. Since different equipment variants are pos-
sible, the weight of the implement must be determined by weighing.

V
Total weight of front implement/ front ballast
a
Distance from front implement/front ballast centre of gravity to middle of
front axle
b
Tractor wheel base
c
• Distance from middle of rear axle to middle of tractor link arm ball.
• In case of towed machines:
Distance from middle of rear axle to middle of lifting point.
d
• Distance from middle of tractor link arm ball to centre of gravity of rear
mounted implement/ rear ballast.
• The following applies to towed machines: d = 0.
x
Information of tractor manufacturer for minimum rear ballasting. If no in-
formation is available, enter 0.45.
All specified weights in kg.
All specified dimensions in m.
• * The centre of gravity of the machines cannot be specified exactly because of
optional equipment. Enter half the machine length for calculation.
