In addition to improving the tractor's performance, proper rear ballast will also maximize the life of the front wheel drive axle, as well as other drivetrain components. This counterweight keeps the most powerful part of the tractor's drive system, the rear wheels, planted firmly on the ground. For instance, when doing loader work, rear ballast provides a counterweight for material in the loader bucket. Proper ballast maximizes a tractor's overall stability and productivity by keeping all four wheels on the ground.
