TRACTOR PREPARATION

Rear Counterweight
CAUTION
• Add recommended rear tire liquid weight, rear wheel or
rear ballast for increased stability.
• Do not exceed the manufacturer's rating for maximum
gross vehicle weight. Refer to Operator's Manual or ROPS
serial plate provided with tractor.
The use of adequate counterweight to counter balance for
maximum loader capacity is required for safe loader operation.
Weight added to rear of the tractor provides better traction and
easier, more efficient loader operation. The tractor can be
counter weighted by filling rear tires with liquid calcium
solution and/or by the installation of rear wheel weights.
Additional counterweight requirements will vary with loader
attachments and equipment applications. Additional weight
can be added by installation of Three Point Hitch mounted
ballast.
CAUTION
• Certain specific conditions may not permit safe use of
loader at loader rating or may require more careful
restricted operation at the rated load.
