9R AG BALLAST CALCULATOR

This calculator is to be used to estimate the correct amount of ballast for a specific tractor with certain types of implements. The recommended order codes and tire inflation are offered as starting po
operations with several common types of implements. Some deviations may be needed for specific circumstances. For complete information on Performance Ballasting refer to the tractor's Operator

Ballast Calculator Instructions:

1. Use the drop down menus to fill in your tractor configuration, including; Model, Engine, Transmission, Hitch/PTO, and Tires.
- Notice the numbers in the columns on the right, this is totaling your tractor's base weight, without any added ballast

2. Determine the tractor's main use and select the "Ballast Level": Towed Implement (Light), Hitch Mounted Implement (Medium), or High Load Transfer Implement (Heavy) by using the drop down men

3. After making the above selections, the recommended ballast codes appear in the yellow shaded box marked,
"Recommended Ballast Codes".

4. Use the drop down menus to select each of the ballast codes that are recommended for factory installation (9000 Codes).

5. (Optional: If Field Installing Weights) Type the field installed front and rear ballast weights into the blue boxes.

6. Review the yellow shaded boxes at the bottom of the page. These boxes will show you: Weight Split, Total Vehicle Weight, Pounds per Horsepower, and a recommended Tire Pressure. Use the reco
ordering a tractor.

Note: This calculator will allow you to select unorderable configurations. This calculator is for the sole use of calculating the optimal weight and tire pressure for optimizing a tractor's performance.
