Hi, I’m trying to figure out rear ballast for my machine. The specs in my 220r manual appear to show higher requirements than I expected based on prior reading of threads here and looking at manuals online in the past.
Heres what it says:
475 kg (1047 lb) Rear Hitch Ballast
Plus 104 kg (229 lb) on Rear Axle
Link to manual page.
Manual also states I’d need almost 200 additional pounds when using pallet forks.
To have 1047 lb rear hitch ballast I’ll need a Heavy Hitch dual bar with 15+ 70 lb weights. Is there any other way to reach the minimum? I have a backhoe but that won’t be enough.
I’m also curious if this number increased with recent versions of the manual as I had thought it was a lower number.
Thanks.
