2. Rear ballast
Add weight to rear wheels if needed to improve traction
or for stability.
The amount of rear ballast should be matched to job
and the ballast should be removed when it is not
needed.
The weight should be added to the tractor in the form of
liquid ballast and/or cast iron discs.
2.1 Cast iron disc
The cast iron rear wheel disc may be utilized to provide
additional rear weight.

2.2 Liquid ballast in rear tires
A water and calcium chloride solution provides 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 the full
approval of the tire companies.
See your tire dealer for this service.
