ASAE/ASABE EP562.1 – Procedure for Determining Recommended Ballast and Minimum Rear Wheel Tread Settings for Agricultural Tractors with Agricultural Front Loaders

This engineering practice is intended as a guide to determine the minimum ballast and tread settingsrecommended for operation of an agricultural front loader mounted on a two-wheel drive tractor or a two-wheeldrive tractor with front assist as defined in section 3.1.1.1 and 3.1.1.2 of ASAE S390.5. These ballast and treadsetting recommendations are intended to reduce the risk of vehicle overturn in typical operation.
