TIRES, WHEELS AND BALLAST 76
A
Always attach wheels as shown in the drawings.
A
If not attached as illustrated, transmission parts may
be damaged.
A When re-fitting or adjusting a wheel, tighten the bolts
to the following torques then recheck after driving the
tractor 200 m (200 yards) and 10 times of shuttle
movement by 5 m (5 yards), and thereafter according
to service interval.
(See "MAINTENANCE" section.)
BALLAST
To avoid personal injury:
A
Additional ballast will be needed for
transporting heavy implements. When the
implement is raised, drive slowly over rough
ground, regardless of how much ballast is
used.
A Do not fill the front wheels with liquid to
maintain steering control.
B
Front Ballast
Add weights if needed for stability (2WD, 4WD models)
and improve traction (4WD model). Heavy pulling and
heavy rear mounted implements tend to lift front wheels.
Add enough ballast to maintain steering control and
prevent tip over. Remove weight when no longer needed.
C Front End Weights (option)
The front end weights can be attached to the bumper. See
your implement operator's manual for required number of
weights or consult your local KUBOTA Dealer to use.
A
Do not overload tires.
A
Add no more weight than indicated in chart.
A
The front end weights can be attached to the bumper
(option on 4WD models - North America only).
