Ballasting Weights
Ballasting weight is to be added in the form of front,
upper or rear weight kits available from your Buhler
Versatile dealer.
The weight kits are suitcase in style allowing ballast
to be easily installed and removed, depending on the
varying needs.
Front weights
The front weight kit is available with a set of twelve,
twenty four or forty, 30 kg (67 lbs), suitcase style
weights (1). The bracket (2) and hardware, weighs
approximately 130 kg. (285 lbs). Most applications
will not require front weight packages.
Front weights can be removed by releasing one of the
tie rod nuts (3) and withdrawing the tie rod from the
weight package. Loosen the bolt (4) on the rear of the
bracket and remove the cast block (5). The weights
can now be lifted from the bracket.
The last four weights on the right and left hand side are
held in place by the cast block (5) installed through
the weight cut out. The remaining weights are held in
position by the tie rod.
Upper weights
The upper weight kit is available with a set of twelve,
twenty four or forty 30 kg (67 lb), suitcase style
weights (6). The bracket (7) and hardware weighs
approximately 342 kg. (755 lbs).
NOTE: The upper weight kit is designed to add ballast
equally to the front and rear.
Upper weights can be removed by releasing the left
hand tie rod nuts (8) and withdrawing the tie rod fully
toward the opposite fender. Loosen the bolt (9) on the
rear of the bracket releasing the cast block (10).
NOTE: The last four weights on the right and left
hand side are held in place by the cast block installed
through the weight cut out. The remaining weights are
held in position by the tie rod.
Pry upward on the fifth weight (11) from the left and
remove it from the tractor. Starting with the sixth
weight from the left remove six additional weights
from the bracket. Slide the four remaining left hand
weights to the right and remove. Remove the cast
block (10). Slide the remaining weights to the left and
remove them from the bracket. This will expose the
right hand retaining block.
