            Clever ballasting
       eliminates the

Ballasting up to 36 t.
This is where the TRAC concept comes into its own.
Its high weight, ideal weight distribution and large contact
area translate into superior traction:
• Up to 23 t
    (max. 50 km/h) and 36 t (up to 10 km/h) of extra ballast
    in field operation
• 1,800 kg/2,400 kg ballast weights for rear platform
    frame
• Easy and fast weight fitting/removal with telehandler
• No time-consuming attachment of wheel weights

900/50 R42 tyres.
Large tyres and biggest contact areas protect the soil and
give perfect traction:
• Four wheels of equal size
• Accepts all common tyres
• No need for dual wheels (advantage for road transport)
• Tyre pressure control system (option)
