TIRES, WHEELS AND BALLAST

BALLAST

To avoid personal injury or death:
A Additional ballast
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.
BFront Ballast
Add weights if needed for stability (2WD, 4WD models)
and improve traction (4WD model). Heavy pulling and
heavy rear mounted implements tend to lift front wheels.
Add enough ballast to maintain steering control and
prevent tip over. Remove weight when no longer needed.
C Front End Weights (option)
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 to use.
