After the mower has been attached to tractor, check the balance and steerability of tractor-mower set.
To do it, weigh the set and after that drive on the weigher with only the front axis of the tractor (the
mower must be in transport position – lifted upwards). If the pressure on the front axis is at least 20%
of the whole set’s pressure, it means the set is stable. If not, the front axis should be balanced.
