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. Most engineers
agree with the following

At last, spring!
Recent Warm weather has
awakened thoughts of
spring. Farmers are busy
with their cropping plans for
this year.
If you missed doing it last
fall, it is not too late to get
your soil tested, especially
for corn and bean crops. This
service, which is provided by
the Ontari6 Ministry of
Agriculture and Food, is free
and will set you straight as to
your fertilizer requirements,
That's very important with
fertilizer prices rising this
year!
Forms and sample boxes
are available at your local
O.M.A.F. office..
Many gems of information
concerning recommended
crop production practices
are contained in the "1980
Field Crop Recom-
mendations" (Publication

"Guide to Chemical Weed
Control" (Publication 75).
These publications, as well
as many other factsheets
