7.12.2.2 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 machine varies
with different attachments, windrower options,
terrain and Operator’s driving technique.
Ballast capability per tire is at a maximum fill of
75% or when fluid is level with valve stem when
the stem is positioned at 12 o’clock. Fluid can be
added to any level up to maximum fill. Always add
an equal amount of fluid on both sides.
