A

weight and set it up as shown below.
BALLAST
To avoid personal injury or death:
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 Do not attach the front bumper when the front loader
is attached.
