BALLAST
WARNING
To avoid personal injury or death:
• You will need the additional ballast for
transporting the heavy implements. When the
implement is raised, drive slowly over rough
ground, regardless of how much ballast is used.
• Do not fill the front wheels with liquid to
maintain steering control.
1. Front ballast
IMPORTANT :
• Do not overload tires.
• Add no more weight than indicated in the
following table.
Maximum weight
125 kg
(275 lbs)
Add weights if needed to improve traction or for
stability. Heavy pulling and heavy rear mounted
implements tend to lift front wheels. Add enough ballast
to maintain steering control and prevent tip over.
Remove weight when no longer needed.
Front end weights (option)
The front end weights can be attached to the bumper.
Refer to your implement operator's manual for required
number of weights or consult your local KUBOTA
Dealer to use it.
NOTE :
• Besides the weight, a front weight bracket and
mounting bolt kit(s) are required for mounting
the weight.
(1) Front end weights (option)
(2) Front weight bracket (option)
2. Rear ballast
Add weight to rear wheels if needed to improve traction
or for stability. The amount of rear ballast should be
matched to job and the ballast should be removed
when it is not needed.
Liquid ballast in rear tires
The weight should be added to the tractor in the form of
liquid ballast.
Water and calcium chloride solution provides safe
economical ballast. Using the liquid ballast properly will
prevent tires, tubes, or rims from being damaged. The
addition of calcium chloride is recommended to prevent
the water from freezing. The addition of calcium
chloride for weighting the wheels has the full approval
of the tire companies. Consult your tire dealer for
addition of calcium chloride.
