Q-Bloq Cast Iron 600 (Grey)

The Q-Bloq Cast Iron counterweight is thanks to its solid iron cast the most compact way to ballast your tractor and the smooth surface finish gives it an appealing look. Cast iron weights also have the benefit of the strength of the material making them less sensitive to damages.

Cast iron weights have smaller dimensions than any other type of weight and extrudes less keeping the tractor maneuverable.

It can be fitted either to the tractors rear or front linkage and fits both category 2 and 3.

To have the correct weight distribution is very important for several reasons. But when attaching implements to the tractors front or rear, the weight distribution of the tractor is altered. 
Adding a counterweight to the correct position to the tractor compensates the load given by the implement (and its potential cargo) and redistributes the weight of the machinery to a favorable position. This gives the following advantages;

 - Better stability in loader work – Increased safety!
 - Better traction
 - Reduced wear of tires
 - Reduced strain on the axles and surrounding components
 - Avoiding power jump effect
 - Reduced fuel consumption

The Q-Bloq cast iron weights are available in three different main weights, 600 kg, 900 kg and 1800 kg. Optional add-on weights of 300 kg and 600 kg can be mounted to all main weights to increase the total ballast weight. The combinations of weights will cover the range from 600 kg to 2400 kg (600 – 900 – 1200 – 1500 – 1800 – 2100 – 2400).
