TIRES, WHEELS AND BALLAST52
ENGLISH
BALLAST
To avoid personal injury:
A Additional ballast will be needed for
transporting heavy implements. When the
implement is raised, drive slowly over rough
ground, regardless of how much ballast is
used.
A Do not fill the front wheels with liquid.
BFront Ballast
Add weights if needed for stability and improving traction.
Heavy pulling and heavy rear mounted implements tend
to lift front wheels. Add enough ballast to maintain
steering control and prevent tip over.
Remove weight when no longer needed.
C Front End Weights (option)
The front end weights can be attached to the bumper.
See your implement operator's manual for required
number of weights or consult your local KUBOTA Dealer
to use.
[For installation of up to three weights]
A Besides the weight, mounting bolt kit(s) are required
for mounting the weight.
A Do not overload tires.
A Add no more weight than indicated in chart.
BRear Ballast
Add weight to rear wheels if needed to improve traction or
for stability. The amount of rear ballast should be matched
to job and the ballast should be removed when it is not
needed.
The weight should be added to the tractor in the form of
liquid ballast.
C Liquid Ballast in Rear Tires
Water and calcium chloride solution provides safe
economical ballast. Used properly, it will not damage tires,
tubes or rims. The addition of calcium chloride is
recommended to prevent the water from freezing. Use of
this method of weighting the wheels has the full approval
of the tire companies. See your tire dealer for this service.
Liquid weight per tire (75 Percent filled)
A Do not fill tires with water or solution more than 75% of
full capacity (to the level of valve stem at 12 o'clock
position).
