C . Weight Packages
Adding a front or rear weight package to a tractor affects the weight distribution per axle as well as the total
tractor weight . In addition, the actual weight effect applied to the axle is amplified by the distance the weight is
hung away from the axle center line .
The following chart shows the gross weight of each weight kit and the net
result of adding the kit on the front and rear axle .

Multiply every pound of weight added to the front weight kit by  .7 and add this figure to the front axle .
Multiply every pound of weight added to the front weight kit by 0 .7 and subtract this figure from the rear axle
weight . The total effect on the tractor should be the sum of the front rear and should equal the weight added .
Multiply every pound of weight added to the upper rear weight kit by 0 .78 and add this figure to the rear axle .
Multiply every pound of weight added to the upper rear weight kit by 0 .22 and add this figure from the front
axle weight . The total effect on the tractor should be the sum of the front effect less the rear effect and should
equal the weight added .
Multiply every pound of weight added to the rear weight kit by  .6 and add this figure to the rear axle . Multiply
every pound of weight added to the auxiliary rear weight kit by 0 .6 and subtract this figure from the front axle
weight . The total effect on the tractor should be the sum of the front effect less the rear effect and should equal
the weight added .
