Quik-Tatch Front Weights
To use this coding system , refer to the implement
operator 's manual ballast section to obtain the spe-
cial ballast code number which applies to the imple-
ment (and its attachments) being used. Determine
the number of weights required corresponding to the
code number from chart below . For example, say the

your tractor has a Ouik-Coupler . The adjusted imple-
