4 Preparations on the tractor and plough
4.1 Calculating the actual values for the total tractor weight, tractor axle
loads and load capacities, as well as the minimum ballast
The approved total tractor weight specified in the vehicle
documentation must be greater than the sum of the
• empty tractor weight
• ballast weight and
• machine's total weight when attached or supported weight when
hitched.
This note only applies to Germany:
If, having tried all possible alternatives, it is not possible to comply
with the axle loads and/or the approved total weight, then a survey by
an officially recognised motor traffic expert can, with the approval of
the tractor manufacturer, be used as a basis for the responsible
authority to issue an exceptional approval according to § 70 of the
German Regulations Authorising the Use of Vehicles for Road Traffic
and the required approval according to § 29, paragraph 3 of the
German Road Traffic Regulations.
