TRACTOR PREPARATION
Rear Counterweight
The use of adequate counterweight to counter balance for maxi-
mum loader capacity is required for safe loader operation.
Weight added to rear of the tractor provides better traction and
easier, more efficient loader operation. The tractor can be counter
weighted by filling rear tires with liquid calcium solution and/or by
the installation of rear wheel weights.
Additional counterweight requirements will vary with loader attach-
ments and equipment applications. Additional weight can be added
by installation of Three Point Hitch mounted ballast.
CAUTION
Certain specific conditions may not permit safe use
of loader at loader rating or may require more careful
restricted operation at the rated load.
Refer to Tractor Operator's Manual for specific recommendations
on counterweight tractor.
ROPS System

ensure adequate operator's protection.

mands on the tractor Hydraulic System. Check the tractor Hydrau-
lic system fluid level daily. Refer to your tractor Operator's Manual
maintenance section for instructions regarding tractor hydraulic

cerning hydraulic fluid and filter specifications, and change intervals.
