and liquid ballast in the rear tires. Front end weights improve the steering
characteristic when heavy hitch loads cause a movement of tractor
weight from the front to the rear wheels. Rear wheel weights and adding
liquid to the rear tires increase traction by putting weight on the driving
wheels.
IMPORTANT:
The Maximum operating weight of tractor should not
exceed the following values. The operating weight of tractor includes the
weight of tractor, operator, ballast weight and implement.
Front Axle ................................ 970 kg
Rear Axle ............................... 1350 kg

Front End Weights

Front end weights can be mounted on the front end bracket of the tractor
with locking bolts and nuts. The weights, locking bolts and nuts are
available from your Dealer. A maximum of six weights at 22 kg (49 Ibs)
each can be installed, depending on implement application and soil
conditions.
Use front end weights as needed to provide effective steering control and
front end stability and to achieve maximum operating efficiency and
tractor field performance.
