transporting heavy implements. When the
implement is raised, drive slowly over rough
ground, regardless of how much ballast is
used.
A Do not fill the front wheels with liquid to
maintain steering control.

Add weights if needed for stability and improve traction.

to lift front wheels.

prevent tip over. Remove weight when no longer needed.

The front end weights can be attached to the bumper.
See your implement operator's manual for required
number of weights or consult your local KUBOTA Dealer
