Ballast Limitations
Ballast should be limited by either tyre capacity or
tractor capacity. Each tyre has a recommended
carrying capacity which should not be exceeded (see
Wheels, tyres and Treads section). If a greater amount
of weight is needed for traction, a larger tyre should be
considered.
Ballast can be added as either liquid or cast iron.
