NOTE: The amount of ballast recommended above is intended to help maintain stability and provide adequate traction during normal loader operation with materials-handling and manure buckets. Additional ballast up to maximum tire carrying capacity should be added, if necessary, when operating John Deere tractor and loader on uneven terrain, when operating loader with grapple fork or haystacker attachment, or to improve traction. Refer to operator’s manual to install ballast.
