6.2 ON ROAD OPERATIONS
6.2.1 Correct Pressure
Resistance to Wear
6.2.2 Insufficient Pressure
Reduce through lack of tyre grip.
Deterioration of try casing by traction forces.
6.2.3 Over Pressure
Reduce grip due to lack of cleaning
Deterioration due to compacted ground.
6.3 BALLASTING OF TRACTOR
Proper ballasting is an important factor in tractor performance. For better performance
of tractor, the weight of tractor can be decreased or increased as per requirement.
Maximum productivity can be achieved only if tractor weight is appropriate for the job.
Ballast is required for traction and stability. Following factors determine amount of
ballast.
lSoil surface either loose or firm
lType of implement
lTravel speed and tractor power output either partial or full load.
I. FRONT END BALLASTING
Add extra removable weight to front end. Heavy pulling and heavy rear- mounted
implements tends to lift front wheels. Add enough ballast to maintain steering control.
Six 31Kg. removable weights are already supplied with the tractor.
NOTE: Tyre pressure should never maximum pressure as recommended the tyre could burst. Change / repair any worn or faulty tyre
(cuts, cracks etc.) immediately to prevent the problem become more severe.
