SECTION 00 - GENERAL INFORMATION - CHAPTER 1

LIQUID BALLAST (OPTIONAL)

It is a common practice to add weight to the tractor by
filling the rear tires with liquid. A calcium chloride
(CaCl ) and water solution is recommended due to
2
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.
Tires should never be filled 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.
