Rear Wheel Weights; Liquid Ballast (Optonal); Tire Pressure - Shibaura ST450 Operator's Manual

Rear Wheel Weights

Tire Type
Agricultural tire only
LIQUID BALLAST (OPTIONAL)
It is a common practice to add weight to the
tractor by filling rear tires with liquid. A calcium
chloride (CaCl )
2
recommended due to its low freezing point and
greater density (weight per volume) than pure
water.
Never exceed the total recommended weight for
the tractor. Because special equipment is
required to fill the tires, consult your SHIBAURA
Dealer.

Tires should never be filled beyond 75%. At 75%
full, the liquid will come to the valve stem when
is 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.
