Operating Weights
Operating weights include lubricants, coolant, an operator 80 kg (175 lb), a full fuel tank, and a full hydraulic system oil tank.
Condition Weight of Ballast Total Weight Average Wheel Load Force Across Path Width
PS-150C Standard Machine (No ballast) None 4236 kg (9340 lb) 471 kg (1040 lb) 24.5 kg/lin cm (137 lb/lin in)
Maximum Ballast (Water) 4233 kg (9330 lb) 8469 kg (18670 lb) 941 kg (2075 lb) 49 kg/lin cm (274 lb/lin in)
Maximum Ballast (Wet Sand) 8466 kg (18665 lb) 17267 kg (38000 lb) 1411 kg (3110 lb) 73.5 kg/lin cm (411 lb/lin in)
PS-150C11 Wheel Standard Machine (No ballast) none 4236 kg (9340 lb) 385 kg (850 lb) 19.8 kg/lin cm (111 lb/lin in)
Maximum Ballast (Water) 4233 kg (9330 lb) 8469 kg (18670 lb) 770 kg (1698 lb) 39.7 kg/lin cm (222 lb/lin in)
Maximum Ballast (Wet Sand) 8466 kg (186659 lb) 17267 kg (38000 lb) 1135 kg (2502 lb) 59.5 kg/lin cm (333 lb/lin in) In the absence of specific guidelines, the general rule uses a wheel load with the following weights: 909 kg (2000 lb) to 1820 kg (4000 lb) Tire inflation pressure is one of the following amounts.
380 kPa (55 psi) for tires with 6 ply rating
760 kPa (110 psi) for tires with 12 ply ratingWhen compaction is of less sticking materials, the tire pressure should be reduced. When compaction is of fine gravel or of similar material, the highest allowable tire pressure is recommended.The capacity of a ballast of sand or a ballast of steel is 4.3 cubic meters (150 cubic feet).The capacity of a ballast of water is 3.9 cubic meters (139 cubic feet).A ballast of sand and a ballast of steel are added through the large cover plates on the operator platform. Water is added through a fill port.
A ballast of sand or a ballast of steel are removed through side plates.
Water can be drained through a drain valve.
