M62 owners, are you using rear tire ballast? Please indicate if it depends on backhoe. I am close on one myself, trying to fine tune the offer. Thanks so much!
Edit adding this: Just found in the owners manual.
Rear Ballast
Add weight to rear wheels if needed to improve traction or for stability. The amount of rear ballast should be matched to job and the ballast should be removed when it is not needed.
The weight should be added to the tractor in the form of liquid ballast.
When the BT1000B(L47)orBT1400(M62)backhoe is
installed to the tractor, rear ballast should be removed.
Is everyone following this? Do they mean wheel weight ballast should be removed, or do they mean liquid in the tires?
