Not Enough Ballast!!

The hook here is ballast math on a John Deere 5075E whose loader outmuscles the tractor's rear weight capacity. Tim walks through the documented ballast requirements from the loader manual, shares the actual pound figures he has versus what's needed, and explains the three solutions: three-point hitch weights, wheel weights, and Rim Guard liquid ballast. A real grading project ties the lesson together. Most useful for owners wrestling with front-loader stability on mid-size or compact tractors.

An owner-operator channel where Tim shares hands-on experience from his own 40-acre property, explicitly noting he is not an expert.
