Liquid ballast (Optional)
It is a common practice to add weight to the tractor by fill-
ing the rear tires with liquid. A calcium chloride (CaCl2)
and water solution is recommended due to the low freez-
ing point and greater density (weight per gallon) than pure
water.
Never exceed the total recommended weight for the trac-
tor. Because special equipment is required to fill the tires,
consult your dealer. Tires should never be filled beyond
75 %
. At
75 %
full, the liquid will come to the valve stem
(1)
when the valve stem is at the highest point, at the top
of the wheel.
