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 2. Example:
Tractor: 2375 tractor with powershift transmission, 20.8 x 42 R1 drum-style duals, PTO, 1/2 tank of fuel.
