Am I missing something?
In the both the pre-delivery loader instruction manual, and
the loader manual itself, as currently provided by deere for
a 420 or 430 loader it states in the ballast section that
"Loader use is not approved" if you do not have your wheels
set so that the tread width (distance between CENTER of one
tire to center of other tire is over 59".
EVEN if you add wheel ballast, wheel weights and rear implement
or ballast box weight.
If I add 6 wheel weights (seems like it only takes 4) and
660 pounds on the back end, loader use is approved if tread
width is OVER 59 inches.
It has a list that shows that all tires are approved but how
in the @#%#@%#@ do you get the R4 tires out to 59"????
With them mounted as received the valve stems are on the out
side the book shows thats 42" with the wheels flipped it goes
to 44".
Even the chart for the 24 inch ag wheels you can disassemble
only go to 54" by doing everything possible.
Doesn't this say that loader use is just not approved no
matter what you do?
There is no mention of this on deere's website where you would
specify loader or tire selection.
I have had a loader for 20 years and wider is indeed better,
ballast is better and slopes are a definite watch your [censored],
but this says "LOADER USE NOT APPROVED".
Tell me I'm reading this wrong before I go insane.
With the 430 loader on the 4300 4310 you are supposed to
full ballast the wheels, add 6 wheel weights, AND 1200
pounds on the back. I wonder how that is done, a ballast
box full of concrete doesn't come near that. And that's
assuming you have tread with (that's center to center) at
59 inches or more.
