Ballast required in the rear
The minimum load on the rear axle must be 45% of the basic weight
of the tractor. With a machine mounted in the front power lift the
minimum required ballast (in lb) in the power lift behind the tractor is
calculated as follows:
If the calculated value is negative no additional ballast is required.
The calculated value must be less or equal to ( < ) the permitted
values. The front and rear loads must be greater than the minimum
load of the front and rear axles respectively.
