3.3 Tractor Ballast
Before operating tractor and loader, add sufficient counterweight so a minimum of 25% of the
total weight is on the rear axle. Total weight includes weight of: tractor, loader, rated load in
bucket, and counterweight. Rated load is lift capacity at full height at 500mm forward of
bucket pivot point. (See Standard Equipment and Specifications). When determining
required counterweight bucket should be at maximum forward position (bucket pivot point at
the same height as boom pivot point on mast).
3.2 Tractor Lighting and SMV Emblem
If the tractor will be operated near or traveled on a
public roadway it must be equipped with proper
warning lighting and a Slow Moving Vehicle (SMV)
emblem which are clearly visible from the rear of
the unit. Most tractor’s have different settings for
operating and transporting lighting. Refer to the
tractor operator’s manual for using the tractor’s
light switch and operating the turn signals.
