Manual Extract: Tractor Ballast

Effective traction and ballast management are crucial for maximizing tractor performance. Follow these guidelines to ensure optimal operation:

Key Features

• Traction Optimization: Aim for 8u201312% slip with bias tires and 5u20138% with radial tires for best results.
• Fuel Efficiency and Performance: Proper wheel slip ensures fuel economy, performance, and tire longevity.
• Static Weight Distribution: Maintain a 50-50 weight ratio between front and rear axles under load.

Benefits

• Improved fuel economy when operating within recommended tire slip ranges.
• Enhanced tractor performance through proper ballast management.
• Reduced wear and longer lifespan for tires.

Usage Recommendations

• Determine static weight distribution before adding ballast.
• Remove unnecessary weight for lighter tasks to increase efficiency.
• Avoid excessive weight to prevent loss of power at the drawbar.
• Operate at slightly higher speeds when handling lighter loads for better productivity.

Important: Never exceed the maximum recommended operating weight, including all equipment and ballast.
