Optimal engine load (77%). Tractive efficiency is peaked within standard 8% - 12% slip window.

Tractor is currently light for this heavy draft tool. Add ~4338 kg (9,564 lbs) ballast to prevent tire slip and premature wear.

Target ballast is capped at 41,443 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.
