Ballasting
To avoid wheel slippage it is recommended to do proper ballasting and for that you can mount extra iron weight rings on rear wheels and water ballasting is also another good way to add extra weight on tractor but before doing that there are two main thing which should be followed:
- There should be 75% water and 25% air in tyres.
- In case of extreme cold conditions mix calcium chloride in water in such a way that there should be 600 gram calcium chloride in 1 liter of water.
To better understand about here is table for water ballasting in tyres for all Sonalika models:
| 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 |
