2.14 Counterweights
2.14.1 Rear Counterweights
When the tractor is performing field operations, different
counterweights can be used to raise the performance level,
according to the conditions. The rear counterweights are made of
cast iron, with each piece weighing 40 kg. (88 lb.), and you can
apply up to 6 pieces on a single side for 240 kg. (528 lb.) on
each side.
When plowing with a heavy load, you can mount 6 pieces of
cast iron for each side (optional).
For rotary tilling, you can mount 2 pieces of cast iron per side
or go without counterweight (optional).
For common plowing operations, you could mount 4 pieces of cast iron per side.
WARNING: Before removing the rear wheel from the tractor, first remove the counterweight from
the tire to avoid an accident.
2.14.2 Front Counterweights
In order to adjust the front and rear axle loads of the tractor,
it is necessary to mount counterweights on the front of the tractor.
For plowing operations with heavy loads or towing large sowing
implements, you must mount enough front counter weight in order
to ensure the tractor can run safely without raising the front end.
The weight of the standard front counterweight frame is 57 kg.
(126 lb.).
You can select a maximum of 11 cast-iron front counterweight pieces,
each one weighing 22 kg. (48.5 lb.), for a maximum front
counterweight load of 242 kg. (534 lb.).
WARNING: For your safety, you must mount enough counterweight to avoid rolling over when
attaching large implements to the tractor.
