recommended to provide adequate machine
stability when using large headers on the

with different attachments, tractor options,
terrain and operator's driving technique.
Ballast capability per tire is at a maximum fill of
75% or when fluid is level with valve stem when
the stem is positioned at 12 o'clock. Fluid can
be added to any level up to maximum fill and
always add an equal amount of fluid on both
sides.
