Ballast Requirements
Fluid ballasting of rear caster tires is recommended to provide adequate machine stability when using large
headers on the windrower. Also, the stability of the machine varies with different attachments, windrower options,
terrain, and the operator’s driving technique.
Ballast capability per tire is at a maximum
fi
ll of 75%, or when
fl
uid is level with valve stem when the stem is positioned
at 12 o’clock. Fluid can be added to any level up to maximum
fi
ll. Always add an equal amount of
fl
uid on both sides.
