Engine demand (573.1 HP) exceeds rated power (340 HP). Reduce working speed by 1.0-1.5 mph or reduce working width.

Tractor is currently light for this heavy draft tool. Add ~3240 kg (7,143 lbs) ballast to prevent tire slip and premature wear.

Target ballast is capped at 30,953 lbs based on structural engineering estimate (~135% base weight; official manufacturer GVWR unrecorded). Avoid adding excess ballast beyond this benchmark to protect axle bearings and chassis.
