Hi folks,
This might be posted before, but I have read somewhere, that filling the tires with water has no effect on your tires max. load rate.
I mean, when you can load a maximum of 10.000 kgs on your tires (by front- and wheel weights) you can go to 13.000 or 14.000 by putting 3 to 4000 kgs of water in the tires, without tire overload.
What would be the best configuration, if you look not just after the weight distribution, but also the geometry of the hitch/drawbar. What implements on what drawbar height?
Here in Holland, the big 14 - 18 m3 single axle manure tanks used for manure injection by contractors, are mostly attached to a low drawbar, and have a belly-loaded cylinder from the tank to the high drawbar. Just to increase the weight on the tractor.
