Calculating the ballasting
The permissible total weight, the permissible
axle loads and the load bearing capacity of the
tyres must not be exceeded when mounting or
hitching up implements.
The front axle of the tractor must always be
loaded with at least 20 % of the curb weight of
the tractor.
¾ Before transportation on public roads you
must make sure that the tractor is not overloaded and suitable for this implement.
¾ Weigh the implement separately. Since dif-
ferent equipment variants are possible, the
weight of the implement must be determined
by weighing.
