OPERATION
Adding Rear Weight
IMPORTANT: The stability of the machine varies with different attachments, tractor options, terrain and
operator’s driving technique. Install weight at rear of tractor to provide adequate machine stability.
To determine the additional rear weight required, pick the tractor model, header model and size to find your
“base machine”. Add up the values for the base machine plus options/conditions to obtain a score for a
particular application. Go to the "score" column to determine which weight packages (if any) are required.
