Calculating the permissible payload

WARNING
Risk of accident due to exceeded payload
If the payload is exceeded, this can result in implement damage or/and uncontrolled driving behavior of the tractor.
Carefully determine the payload of the implement.
Never exceed the specified payload of the implement.

Maximum payload = maximum permissible implement weight – tare weight

  1. Read off the permissible technical implement weight from the rating plate.

  2. To obtain the tare weight,

    Weigh the implement with the hopper empty.
  3. Calculate the payload.
