ASSEMBLY
Suggestions to increase stability:
• Increasing rear wheel track; a tractor with a wider wheel track is more stable.
• Ballasting the wheel; it is preferable to use external weights but liquid can be added to around 75% of the
tire volume – water with anti-freeze or the heavier Calcium Chloride alternative can be used.
• Addition of weights – care should be taken in selecting the location of the weights to
• ensure they are added to a position that offers the greatest advantage.
• Front axle locking; a ram can be used to ‘lock’ the front axle in work only – locking the axle
• moves the ‘balance line’ and can be used to transfer weight to the front axle from the rear (check with
tractor manufacturer).
The advice above is offered as a guide for stability only and is not a guide to tractor strength - it is therefore
recommended that you consult your tractor manufacturer or local dealer to obtain specific advise on this
subject, additionally advice should be sought from a tire specialist with regard to tire pressures and ratings
suitable for the type and nature of the machine you intend to fit.
