QUESTION: In four-wheel-drive (4WD) tractor applications, if an implement requires 550 horsepower (hp) and standard dual tires are not providing adequate traction — and you can’t go wider with triples — what is your recommendation?
There's a right way and plenty of wrong ways to ballast a tractor. Too little weight can limit a tractor's efficiency. Too much weight hurts soil compaction and fuel efficiency.
