Liquid ballast

It is a common practice to add weight to the tractor by filling the rear tires with liquid. Use a calcium chloride (CaCl2)
and water solution, 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.
Never fill tires 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.
Ballast Weights (Per Tire) 600 g/5 lb Gal Solution/CaCl2.
