Introduction
Self-propelled agricultural machinery with a ride-on operator (driver) can be exposed to the hazard of
rolling or tipping over during the intended operation. A risk assessment is used to determine whether
this hazard is to be considered in case of a specific machine and the protective measures to be used in
order to avoid or minimize this hazard for the ride-on operator.
The risk assessment considers the operating conditions in which the machine is intended to be used,
the physical properties of the machine, and the required skills to operate the machine as well as any
other parameter which can have an impact on the risk for roll- or tip-over.

4 Determination of the centre of gravity (COG) of a self-propelled machine
4.1 Method to determine and to calculate the centre of gravity of the un-laden machine
The centre of gravity of the un-laden machine is determined by means of scales and support stands (see
Tables 1 and 2 and Figures 1, 2, and 3).
4.2 Remarks and items to observe during this procedure
4.2.1 Follow the procedure as outlined in ISO 789-6; this method is based on the increasing load on the
supporting axle when the other axle is lifted and supported on a certain height; the lifting angle ω and
the increased load on the scale allow determination of the height of the COG.
4.2.2 It is recommended to use steel wheels in order to avoid deviations due to changing wheel radius
under changing load conditions. For calculation of the COG with the actual tires, see 4.3.
Any suspension system shall be locked. If locking the suspension system is not possible, then inflate all
tires up to the maximum permissible pressure as specified by the tyre manufacturer. The difference in
radius of the wheels on the fixed axle between horizontal and raised position shall not be higher than
1,5 % of the wheel radius.
4.2.3 Ensure that the plane of the scale is horizontal and flush with the ground plane.
4.2.4 Wheels on the scale shall be free to rotate, in order to exclude tangential forces on the tires.
Therefore, the parking brake shall not be applied and the gearbox shall be in neutral or the transmission
shall be in the position for towing the vehicle.
4.2.5 Although not required, lifting the side of the swivelling axle is preferred; in most cases, this is the
axle with the smallest diameter wheels.
4.2.6 Raised wheels shall rest on wheel stands before reading the weight on the scale.
4.2.7 For easy installation of the wheel stands, it can be necessary to lock the swivelling axle with
wedges when lifting the machine.
When resting on the wheel stands, the wedges shall be removed.
4.2.8 The accuracy of this method depends on the height of wheel stand as a proportion of the wheel
base and the accuracy of the scale.
Accuracy of weighing during five consecutive measurements: all values shall fall within a range of 1,0 %
of the maximum measured load from the fixed axle in raised position.
4.2.9 Calculate the COG, using the ± deviation of the accuracy of the scale and determine the deviation
of the height of the COG.
This deviation shall not exceed ±4 %. In case the value exceeds ±4 %, the height of the wheel stands
shall be increased in order to decrease the deviation.

4.3 Methods to determine the centre of gravity of a laden machine or a machine
with attachments
4.3.1 Graphical method
4.3.1.1 Because weighing a laden machine with attachments under an angle is not practical and can be
unsafe, it is advisable to determine the COG of the laden machine by means of a graphical method.
It is assumed that the weight and the COG of the load (e.g. grain) and the attachment(s) are known.
4.3.1.2 The following example shows a combine harvester with full grain tank and a header in the
raised position (worst case field condition).
The COG of the empty machine is known (e.g. by the procedure 4.1) and marked on the scaled drawing
of the machine as cog (see Figure 4). The COG of the grain in the tank can be defined graphically as
a
cog . The mass of the grain represents, for instance 50% of the empty weight of the machine. The COG of
b
the combination empty machine and grain load is marked as cog and falls on the line between cog and
d a
cog at 1/3 from cog . The mass of the header is, for instance, 20% of the empty mass of the machine.
b a
The COG of the attachment marked as cog is known (e.g. by weighing on a hoist under two angles). The
c
COG of the combination empty machine and attachment falls on the line between cog and cog at 1/6
a c
from cog . The COG of the combination loaded machine and attachment can be determined in a similar
a
way. The height and the longitudinal position of the new COG can now be measured on the drawing. The
same principles apply to determine the new lateral position (y) of the COG.
