Turning Geometry
Turnaround diameter is measured from the center point of the front axle and is a measurement of how far a
tractor will move with each turn .
The turnaround diameter is based solely on articulation angle and is not a
function of tire size or configuration .

Tractor Shipping Weight
Shipping weight of a tractor can be calculated based on the standard equipment and options ordered (or dealer
installed) before any liquid ballast is added to the tractor . To calculate the shipping weight, pick the appropriate
front, rear, and total weight values from the following tables (A-F) . Once the shipping weight is found, the tractor
can be ballasted and the tire air pressure set . See “Ballasting” in Section 3 .
Example: Tractor: 485 tractor with 407 Twindisc Powershift transmission, 70/70 x R42 R drum-style duals,
high flow hydraulic pump and 00 gallon tank of fuel (378 .5 L) .
