REAR BALLAST
To avoid personal injury:

ballast should be added to the rear of the
tractor in the form of 3-point counter weight
and rear wheel ballast. The amount of rear
ballast will depend on the application.

Liquid ballast in rear tires
Water and calcium chloride solution provides a safe and
economical ballast. Used properly, it will not damage tires,
tubes or rims. The addition of calcium chloride is
recommended to prevent the water from freezing. Use of
this method of weighting the wheels has full approval of
the tire manufacturers. See your tire dealer for this
service.
