Why Ballast Weight Matters: When operating a front-end loader on your John Deere garden tractor, having adequate ballast weight is essential for safety and performance. Proper rear ballast ensures better traction, stability, and balance when handling heavy loads with the loader. Without it, the tractor can become front-heavy, causing potential steering issues or tipping. Adding ballast weight like this basket and paver combination helps you safely get the most out of your loader by keeping your tractor steady and secure.
