Ballasting
To avoid wheel slippage it is recommended extra weight on tractor and for that extra weight rings can be added to rear wheels. And water ballasting is also very good way to add extra weight on tractor and reduce wheel slippage. But before water ballasting it is very important to:
- Fill only 75% water and 25% air in tubes.
- In case of extremely cold conditions mix calcium chloride in such a way that there should be 600 gram calcium chloride in 1 liter of normal water ( it will decrease freezing point of water which further saves tyers and tubes).
Here is a table for all Sonalika models to better understand amount of water to be filled in tyers:
| Rear tire size | Water in litres |
|---|---|
| 12.4*28 | 160 litres |
| 13.6*28 | 180 litres |
| 14.9*28 | 190 litres |
| 16.9*28 | 200 litres |
| 16.9*30 | 210 litres |
