General Specifications
of water, which is completely safe to 12° below zero.
For protection to 52° below 0° use 5 lbs. of calcium
chloride flake per gallon of water.
Utility blades and other mounted equipment must
be considered as ballast. Because of this, to main-
tain stability and balance, specific ballast instruc-
tions must be followed. Liquid ballast should always
be removed when not required, if liquid ballast is
required, it must always be used in the proper ratio
for the intended application.
Front Ballast
When fully or semi-mounted rear attachments are
used it may be desirable to add liquid ballast to the
front tires to maintain stability and balance. Do not
add ballast to the rear tires when using fully or semi-
mounted rear attachments.
Fill the front inside tires to the required level to
provide stability and balance.
Combined static weight of the tractor and front
ballast must not exceed maximum vehicle gross
warranted weight.
Tread Setting Dimensions
Dual combinations using Steiger wheel equipment
will provide spacing for 30 inch and 32 inch rows.
However, if 18.4 x 42 R-1 or 20.8 x 38 R-1 tires are
used some tread settings will require the use of
steering cylinder stops and oscillation stop adjust-
ment to prevent cab/tire interference and/or front to
rear tire interference in a full turn and/or oscillation
mode.
IMPORTANT:
If other after market wheel equipment
is used, you must always check for cab/tire interfer-
ence in a full turn and/or oscillation mode.

Rear Ballast
When using front mounted utility blades or other
attachments it will usually be required to add liquid
ballast to the rear tires only to provide stability and
balance. Fill the rear inside tires to the level required
to achieve approximately 50 percent of the total
static weight on each axle.
Combined static weight of front attachment and
rear ballast must not exceed the maximum vehicle
gross warranted weight.
Front Mount Attachments
SPECIAL NOTE: Total maximum allowable weight
is 2500 lbs (1135 Kg) for front frame mounted liquid
tanks. Weighting beyond 2500lbs (1135 Kg) requires
additional front frame structure. Remove all ballast
from the front axle tires.
