LIQUID BALLAST (OPTIONAL)
It is a common practice to add weight to the tractor by filling the rear tires with liquid. A calcium chloride (CaCl2) and
water solution is recommended due to its low freezing point and greater density (weight per gallon) than pure water.
Never exceed the total recommended weight for the tractor. Because special equipment is required to fill the tires,
consult your NEW HOLLAND Dealer.
Tires should never be filled beyond 75 %. At 75 % full, the liquid will come to the valve stem when the valve stem is
at its highest point at the top of the wheel.
TIRE PRESSURE
Tire pressure must be considered when adding weights, implements, or attachments to the tractor or damage to the
tractor may occur.
