To be checked:
• The total authorised weight.
• The permitted weight per axle.
• The authorised support weight on the tractor's linkage.
• The permissible load capacity for the tyres fi tted to the tractor.
• Is the authorised linkage weight suffi cient?
All of this information can be found on the registration papers, or on the data plate and in the tractor manual.

- Complete the table below:
- Check that:
• The values calculated should be < or = to the tractor's permissible values and the values for the tyres fi tted to the tractor.
• It is essential that the minimum load on the front axle is > or = to 20% of the unladen tractor weight.
The machine must not be hitched to a tractor if:
The total weight calculated is > than the maximum authorised weight.
The weight on the front axle is < than the minimum required.
