FLEXIMASS®

BALLASTING,

To adjust the traction capability of your tractor you know that you need to add or remove weight.

To ensure the correct ballast in relation to the task at hand, it should be possible to adjust the amount of weight quickly and safely.

FLEXIMASS® is ballast management solution for the 21st century.


A NEW APPROACH

Simple, easy and fast
FLEXIMASS® hooks up and unhooks effortless, and without tools, to the front or rear 3-point hitch depending on model..
 
Fuel savings
FLEXIMASS® allows for very easy adding or removing of weight. Hence, by removing weight during light work or transport, unnecessary soil compaction is avoided and fuel consumption is reduced. Fuel savings compared to wheel weights during speed change alone is 8% - 9%.
 
…and savings in your pocket!
FLEXIMASS® can easily be moved from one tractor to another. There is no need to purchase specific weights for each tractor.


... AND UNIVERSAL

Compatible with Cat.3N (front) or Cat.3W/Cat.4N (rear) regardless of tractor make.
 
Use EASYMASS® weights or use a LAFORGE Weight Frame for standard tractor weights.
