1.7 Weight
1.7.1 Weight distribution
The weight distribution on the two axles depends on how the combine is equipped.
If a cutting table other than the standard table is attached to the combine, please note that at least 20% of
the total weight of the combine must rest on the rear axle.
In accordance with the above, ballast weights could be required at the rear of the combine.
Checking the total weight distribution (with table attached) on both axles
Ensure that the capacity of the weighing equipment is sufficient.
When weighed, the machine fuel tank must be filled and the operator must be in his seat.
Check that the load resting on each axle and the total weight do not exceed the maximum values
permitted
by the manufacturer and indicated in the documents for road transport.
Proceed as follows:
1.
Place the table approximately 350 mm from the ground.
Fig. 14
2.
Position the combine front axle in the middle of the weighing platform (1).
3.
Measure the weight (Ma).
4.
Position the rear axle in the middle of the weighing platform (1).
5.
Measure the weight (Mp).
6.
Calculate the total weight by adding up the two weights: Mt = Ma + Mp
7.
Determine whether 20% of the total mass of the machine is resting on the rear axle, by dividing Mp
by Mt.
This ratio must be greater than or equal to 0.20, which as a percentage is 20%:
Mp: Mt ≥ 0.20 (or 20%)
If the calculated value is lower than 0.20, the weight on the rear axle must be increased by adding
ballast weights (Mz).
8.
When recalculating, the weight of the additional ballast weights must be taken into account in the
total weight:
(Mp + Mz): (Mt + Mz) ≥ 0.20 (or 20%)
