Liquid Ballast - New Holland WORKMASTER 35 Operator's Manual

Liquid ballast

It is a common practice to add weight to the tractor by
filling the rear tires with liquid. A calcium chloride (CaCl2)
and water solution is recommended due to its low freezing
point and greater density (weight per gallon) than pure
water.
Never exceed the total recommended weight for the trac-
tor. 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.
