NURON TRACTOR EXETER BLYTH Ammannernammisommegmimmh, Paps 14A, Tiftlei,A4vocats, April, 23, 1000 Be a tractor weight-watcher Are yqu. wasting fuel by carrying more weight with your tractor than you need? Many farmers do this for Most of the growing season. At the same time, many others aren't carrying enough weight to give them proper front end stability when doing heavy field operations like plowing or discing. You, the farmer of today, are very conscious of fuel consumption of tractors, soil compaction, horsepewer requirements for different jobs. How many farmers stop to consider what weights to buy for the new tractor? How much is needed? Where is it needed? Why is it needed? There are three types of weights that affect tractor performance. The weight of the tractor itself is something we have no control over, but you can increase the weight at the front end by adding cast iron weights in sections. Cast iron weights can fit onto the drive wheels to increase their weight also. The most common way to weight' the drive wheels is by partly filling the tires with a calcium chloride solution. Farmers find this to be still the most cost effective method. It's a permanent solution to the problem though. It means that you will waste fuel by carrying around all that extra ballast during all but the heaviest operation. It's hard for us to find clear cut rules for tractor weighting.

Latest Position Report standards thought total weight of your tractor shOUld be around 130 pounds per p.t.o. horsepower for 2 wheel drive tractors and 120 lb per p.t,a, h.p. for 4 wheel drive tractors, A tractor like the J.D. 4440 then with 130, p.t.o. h,p, shquld have 130 times 130.or 16,900 lb. total weight. The actual weight with ballast in the wheels is about 14,500 lb, Add more weight with cast iron, Where should you add these weights? This is where we get into the problem of stability and safe steering control, Aim. for 25 percent, 30 percent, 35 percent of the total weight on the front wheels for pull type, semi- mounted, and fully mounted implements respectively. Your farm -,achinery dealer should be able to tell you the weights of most tractors. This information is found in the Nebraska Tests results, Contact the 0.M.A.F. office for more information.
