4.7. THE TRACTOR BALLASTING
The wheels ballasting (front and back) as well as the necessary of the tractor front ballasting for
avoiding too big skidding. The ballasting at the same time improves the stability on the uneven hilly
lands.
Generally for every horse power of the ploughing tractor about 50 kg is needed which means in the
case of 200 horse power tractor - 10 tons. On the extremely clay fields during the plough it is
reasonable to blow up the tyres with water (or antigel or talc).On the black lands it is reasonable to
use loading in the inner part of the rear wheels. This way it means 60 kg / horse power. If tractor
skidding has been avoided there is no need to any other loading or ballast.
Follow the tractor instructions and ask for the advice from the dealer or agricultural tyres
merchandiser.
