Frame Weight
The standard CTA4000 includes no additional weights.
Weight kits, consisting of one pair of 700 pound (318kg)
weights (1400 lbs, 635kg, total) are available. The
weights are placed on the center frame. A maximum of 2
pairs (4 weights, 2800 lbs, 1270kg, additional) may be
added.
Extra weights are necessary for opener down-force set-
tings which, when summed for all rows, are near or
above the total weight of the implement. See “Weight
Kits” on page 54.
In unusually soft soil conditions, remove weights to
reduce weight on the tires.
The weights are held in place by gravity, and are easily
removed with a hoist rated for at least 700 pounds
(318kg).
Never add weights to the wings. The weights will tip over dur-
ing folding. Even if secured to the frame, machine damage is
likely. Wing weights are also unnecessary. The hydraulic
weight transfer system is capable of transferring the entire
weight of the implement to the wings.
