Turning Geometry
Turnaround diameter is measured from the center point of the front axle and is a measurement of how far a
tractor will move with each turn.
The turnaround diameter is based solely on articulation angle and is not a
function of tire size or configuration.

Maximum Tractor Weight
The following table shows the maximum allowable weight of each tractor model.
Model Recommended Operating Weight lbs.
435 45,000 lbs. (100 lbs. per HP)
485 50,500 lbs. (100 lbs. per HP)
535 54,000 lbs. (100 lbs. per HP)
Tractor Shipping Weight
Shipping weight of a tractor can be calculated based on the standard equipment and options ordered (or dealer
installed) before any liquid ballast is added to the tractor. To calculate the shipping weight, pick the appropriate
front, rear, and total weight values from the following tables (A-F). Once the shipping weight is found, the tractor
can be ballasted and the tire air pressure set. See “Ballasting” in Section 3.
Example: Tractor: 485 tractor with 1407 Twindisc Powershift transmission, 710/70 x R42 R1 drum-style duals,
high flow hydraulic pump and 100 gallon tank of fuel (378.5 L).

tractor on a scale.
A. Base Tractor Weight
A base tractor is considered to be fitted with synchromesh transmission, no tires or rims, a standard drawbar,
no fuel in the fuel tanks, no operator, no special added equipment, and no ballast.
