GMD350 - 350-FF

Appendix

Rear tool or front-rear combination:

- Measure dimension (b).
- Measure dimension (c).

- t1: Load on front axle.

• T machine.
• Hopper empty.

- t: Axle loads.

• T machine.
• Hopper empty.

Calculating the rear tool weight (M2):

M2 = T - t

Calculating the distance (d):

d = (( b x ( T1 - t1) ) / M2 ) - c

If the total unit weight exceeds the tractor Gross Combined Weight Rating in accordance with the
countrie's legislation, empty the hopper to travel on public roads.

In any case, we recommend to travel on public roads with empty hoppers and tanks.
