APPENDIX Combination of tractor and mounted implement
Consideration of rear mounted implement and front/rear combinations
1 ) Calculation of minimum ballasting at the front G
V min
Record the calculated minimum ballasting which is needed at the front of
the tractor into the table.
Front mounted implement
2) Calculation of the minimum ballasting at the rear G
H min
Record the calculated minimum ballasting which is needed at the rear of
the tractor into the table.
3) Calculation of the real front axle load T
V tot
(If with the front mounted implement (G
V
) the required minimum front
ballasting (G
V min
), cannot be reached, the weight of the front mounted
implement has to be increased to the weight of the minimum ballasting at
the front!)
Record the calculated real front axle load and the permissible front axle
load of the tractor into the table.
4) Calculation of the real total weight G
tot
(If with the rear mounted implement (G
H
) the required minimum rear
ballasting (G
Hmin
) cannot be reached, the weight of the rear mounted
implements has to be increased to at least the weight of the minimum
ballasting at the rear!)
Record the calculated real and the permissible total weight given in the
instruction handbook for the tractor into the table.
