Subject: ballasting a 4WD


Rivers, MB
We finally got rid of all the fluid. No more of that stuff! Forgot to weigh the tractor with it ballasted up to see what it was weighing.

What's the ideal theoretical weight. 100 lb/hp 110?
This is a CIH 9180 (375 hp) w/ Firestone 650/?/32 tires on it. Pulling NH3 chisel plow (will be pulling 57' next year) w/ 1" openers on 12" spacing, harrowing, disking, and pulling a 750 bu grain cart.

with no extra ballast and 1/2 full of fuel it weighs 21700 lb on the front and 15250 lb on the back axle.

Where can i find a chart for max load of this tire?

Thanks in advance
