DETERMINING MAXIMUM FRONT
BALLAST
IMPORTANT: Do not overload front tires. If
maximum weight shown in the tire chart is below
ballasted weight, reduce ballast or install heavier
tires.
Use adequate front weight as required for the
operating condition. Two-wheel drive tractors should
have only enough ballast to maintain safe steering
control and keep the wheels on the ground. FWD
tractors should have adequate ballast to properly
load front wheels - this is especially important when
pulling heavy loads. Remove ballast when it is no
longer needed.
The tire inflation chart in Section 5 shows the load
carrying capacity for the front tires.
