Ballast
PY80265,05I0174 –19–12SEP05–1/1
Using Liquid Weight
CAUTION: Installing liquid ballast requires
special equipment and training. Have the job
done by your John Deere dealer or a tyre
service store.
IMPORTANT: NEVER fill tyre to more than 75%
full. More solution would leave too
little air space to absorb shocks.
Damage to tyre could occur.
A solution of water and calcium chloride provides safe,
economical ballast. Used properly, it will not damage
Tyres, tubes, or rims.
Use calcium chloride to prevent water from freezing. A
mixture of 0.6 kg per liter (5.0 lb of calcium chloride
per gal) will not freeze solid above —45
°
C (—53
°
F).
Charts on this page show how much each tyre size
holds if filled to 75 % full.
