Notice
The following sections must be complied with in order to secure stability and safety.
PPE (personal protective equipment)
The machine operator must also use personal protective equipment (PPE) to minimize
the risk of serious injuries: Goggles (mesh visor EN1731 or safety goggles EN166),
Ear muffs (EN352), safety helmet (EN297), work gloves and identifiable work clothes.
Vehicle Ballast
It is imperative when attaching ‘third-party’ equipment to a vehicle that the
maximum possible stability of the machine and vehicle combination is achieved –this
can be accomplished by the utilization of ‘ballast’ in order to counter-balance the addi-
tional equipment added. WN Branch Cutter & WN Hedge Cutter were tested on
Hoftracs with 1800 kg, an axle base of 135 cm and a wheel gauge of 110 cm, meas-
ured from/to the outer edge of the wheel. As there are several different types of seg-
mented vehicles and a difference in the weight distribution, the given information must
be interpreted as ”guide lines”. Where possible, you should always choose wide tires in
order to increase the stability of the Hoftracs.
Front weights
May be required for rear mounted machines to place 15% of total outfit
weight on the front axle for stable transport on the road and to reduce ‘crabbing’ due to
the drag of the cutting unit when working on the ground.
Rear weights
May be required to maintain a reasonable amount of rear axle load on the
opposite wheel from the arms when in work; for normal off-ground work i.e. hedge cut-
ting this should be 20% of rear axle weight or more for adequate control. All factors
must be addressed in order to match the type and nature of the equipment added to
the circumstances under which it will be used –in the instance of Power Arm hedge
cutters it must be remembered that the machines center of gravity during work will be
constantly moving and will differ from that during transport mode, therefore balance
becomes critical.

Factors that affect stability
➢Centre of gravity of the tractor/machine combination.
➢Geometric conditions, e.g. position of the tool and ballast.
➢Weight, track width and wheelbase of the vehicle.
➢Acceleration, braking, turning and the relative position of the tool during
these operations.
➢Ground conditions, e.g. slope, grip, load capability of the soil/surface.
➢Rigidity of implement mounting.
➢Pay close attention to the fact that the weight balance changes when using
Hoftracs with articulated pendulum joint, the faster this is moving.
Suggestions to increase stability
➢Increasing rear wheel track; a vehicle with a wider wheel track is more
stable.
➢Ballasting the wheels; it is preferable to use external weights but liquid
can be added to around 75% of the tire volume –water with anti-freeze or
the heavier Calcium Chloride alternative can be used.
➢Addition of weights –care should be taken in selecting the location of the
weights to ensure they are added to a position that offers the greatest ad-
vantage.
➢Front axle locking (check with tractor manufacturer).
NOTE: The advice above is offered as a guide for stability only and is not a guide to vehicle
strength. It is recommended that you consult your vehicle manufacturer or local dealer to obtain
specific advice on this subject, additionally advice should be sought from a tire specialist with
regard to tire pressures and ratings suitable for the type and nature of the machine you intend to
fit.
