Operation
If you notice any cuts in the tread or side walls, have
them vulcanized immediately to avoid further damage
to the tyre.
Drive slowly on roads if the pressure in the tyres has
been reduced for use on soft earth.
To obtain maximum efficiency, do not use tyres with
more than 30-50% wear.
NOTE: if the tractor is not going to be used for a long
period of time, support it on raised blocks to remove
load from the tyres.
NOTE: avoid parking the tractor on floors which are
covered with oil or diesel fuel. Also avoid parking the
tractor where the tyres are permanently exposed to
direct sunlight, especially if the tractor is not going to be
used for some time.
Ballast
When the tyre is sufficiently loaded in relation to the
traction the tractor must produce during work, it may
easily slip, causing loss of speed and wear on the tread
plus reduced efficiency on the job. To get the most out
of tractor power, it is therefore advisable to ballast the
tractor by applying cast iron rings to the driving wheels.
Ballasting the rear wheels
Two cast iron rings can be applied to each wheel: the
first is fixed straight on to the wheel while the second is
fixed to the first ring (Fig. 24). A total of 4 rings weigh-
ing 60 Kg (132 lb) each (an overall 240 Kg - 529 lb) can
be applied.
Ballasting the front axle
If heavy implements that might destabilize the tractor
are hitched to the lift, cast iron plates can be added to
the front end to counterbalance their weight (Fig. 25).
This type of ballasting consists of 10 cast iron plates
weighing 36 Kg (79 lb) each for a total of 360 Kg (793
lb).
Mounting the front ballast:
1.Couple the two weights to the center of the sup-
port.
2.Fix the rear part of the two weights with the relative
plates and fastening bolts.
3.Mount the two threaded fixing plates on to the
headlights and lock them in place with the central
bolt.
4.Mount the remaining weights with two bolts of an
adequate length, depending on the number of
weights applied
.
IMPORTANT:
• Do not ballast the tractor over its rated carrying
weight.
• When using the tractor for light work, transport, and
on-road towing, remove all ballast to avoid
unnecessary strain on the mechanical components.
• With semi-mounted and fully mounted implements
(which inevitably increase the load on the rear axle of
the tractor, ballast must only be used when strictly
necessary. There is no point in increasing grip beyond
the level necessary for efficient work as this will
reduce tyre life.
• Carefully check the tyre inflation pressure since this
will make the tyre last longer and ensure a more
regular use.

Warning: use a lifting winch to handle the
ballast.
