TOW LOADS SAFELY
Stopping distance increases with speed and weight of

towed loads, and on slopes. Towed loads with or without
brakes that are too heavy for the tractor or are towed
-UN-23AUG88
too fast can cause loss of control. Consider the total
weight of the equipment and its load.
Observe these recommended maximum road speeds, or

local speed limits which may be lower:
TS216
• If towed equipment does not have brakes, do not travel
more than 32 km/h (20 mph) and do not tow loads more
than 1.5 times the tractor weight.
• If towed equipment has brakes, do not travel more than

40 km/h (25 mph) and do not tow loads more than 4.5
times the tractor weight.
Ensure the load does not exceed the recommended

weight ratio. Add ballast to recommended maximum for
tractor, lighten the load, or get a heavier towing unit. The
tractor must be heavy and powerful enough with
adequate braking power for the towed load. Use
additional caution when towing loads under adverse
surface conditions, when turning, and on inclines.

Back your tractor out if it gets mired down in mud.

Unhitch any towed implements. Dig mud from behind the
rear wheels. Place boards behind the wheels to provide
TS1645
a solid base and try to back out slowly. If necessary, dig
mud from the front of all wheels and drive slowly ahead.
If necessary to tow with another unit, use a long chain or

cable. Inspect the chain or cable for flaws. Make sure all
parts of towing devices are of adequate size and strong
enough to handle the load.
-UN-23AUG88
Always hitch to the drawbar of the towing unit. Before

ATTACHING IMPLEMENT
1. Back tractor into position and attach hitch link to

drawbar. Be sure hitch pin is retained with spring strap
or hex nut.
NOTE: EHDC couplers are push-pull type connectors

which will not open with pressure in the lines.
Move hitch control to relieve pressure before
attempting hose connections.
If implement lines are under pressure, install in

regular SCV couplers, move SCV control lever
forward and backward to relieve pressure, and
then install in EHDC couplers.
IMPORTANT: Be sure to correctly connect depth

EXAMPLES USING LOAD-SENSING

HYDRAULIC SYSTEM—POWER BEYOND
• Example 1—Control valves with a load sense port can

be operated manually or by solenoids. These valves
-UN-21SEP93
provide a load-sense signal to tractor hydraulic system.
• Example 2—Regular control valve directs oil into

either of two circuits, only one requiring pressure above
2600 kPa (26.0 bar) (380 psi). Connect load-sense line
RW55109
to circuit requiring pressure. A common example would
be a wagon lift cylinder where load is supported by
mechanical stops in the full down position—load-sense Example 1
line signals pump when increased pressure is needed.
Pressure remains low when not needed.
IMPORTANT: Circuit allows cylinder “leak-down”

through load-sense line (C). If leakage
is not acceptable for operation, use
-UN-21SEP93
Example 3.
• Example 3—Regular control valve directs oil into either

of two circuits, either requiring high pressure. Connect
load-sense line to pressure line before control valve.
RW55110
NOTE: System will maintain a maximum pressure of
Example 2
20 000 kPa (200 bar) (2900 psi) as long as
Power Beyond hoses are connected. If other
functions are operating at continuous flow,
increased hydraulic oil temperature may result.
A common example would be a folding implement,

GENERAL PERFORMANCE GUIDELINES
• ATTAINING OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE • SELECTING BALLAST CAREFULLY
Before adding ballast to your tractor, consider these NOTE: Radial-ply and bias-ply tires use same
important factors to attain optimum performance: ballasting procedures.
• Total tractor weight and static weight split Factors Determining Amount of Ballast
(percent of static weight on front and rear
• Soil surface—loose or firm
axles)
• Type of implement—integral/semi-integral or towed
• Type of ballast used (cast weight or liquid) • Travel speed—slow or fast
• Tire inflation pressures • Tractor power output—partial or full load
• Tires—single or over-size
• RECOMMENDED WEIGHT SPLIT
Pulling a lighter load at a higher speed is more
Tractor should be weighed to accurately determine economical and more efficient than pulling heavier
amount and type of ballast. Weight should be loads at a lower speed.
distributed depending on how tractor is equipped and
the conditions in which it will be operated. Too Little Ballast Too Much Ballast
Excessive wheel spin Soil compaction

USING LIQUID BALLAST
N CAUTION: Installing liquid ballast requires

special equipment and training. See your John
Deere Dealer or a tire service store.
IMPORTANT: NEVER fill any tire to more than 90

percent full. More solution could
damage tires.
Use of water or calcium chloride solution can be used to

provide economical ballast. Used properly, it will not
damage tires, tubes, or rims. However, liquid ballast is
not recommended because it results in harsh ride,
-UN-07JUL93
difficulty in handling, spills if flats occur, and when used
in rear tires can result in greater susceptibility to power
hop.
A calcium chloride mixture of 420 g per liter (3.5 lb
RW25003
per gal) of water will not freeze solid above -45˚C
(-50˚F) or a mixture of 600 g per liter (5.0 lb
per gal) will not freeze solid above -50˚C (-60˚F).
NOTE: Use of alcohol as liquid ballast is not

recommended.
Liquid ballast should be avoided in rear tires since it has

a stiffening effect that causes the tractor to give a rough
ride and generally reduces ability to control power hop. If
liquid is used in the rear tires, all tires on the axle must
be filled to the same level which should not exceed 40
percent fill.
Up to 75 percent fill may be used in MFWD front tires

for weight or to provide stiffness to assist in power hop
control. Do this as a last alternative.
Fill front tires to 40 or 75 percent full for needed ballast.

Fill rear tires to maximum of 40 percent full. More
solution could result in harsh ride. Chart shows how
much each size holds if filled to 40 or 75 percent full.
