Transport
Machinery Safely
▲
Comply with state and local laws.
▲
Maximum transport speed for
implement is 20 mph. DO NOT
EXCEED. Never travel at a speed
which does not allow adequate
control of steering and stopping.
Some rough terrain require a
slower speed.
▲
Sudden braking can cause a
towed load to swerve and upset.
Reduce speed if towed load is not
equipped with brakes.
▲
Use the following maximum
speed - tow load weight ratios as
a guideline:
▲
20 mph when weight is less than
or equal to the weight of tractor.
▲
10 mph when weight is double
the weight of tractor.
▲
IMPORTANT: Do not tow a load
that is more than double the
weight of tractor.
Use Safety
Lights and Devices
▲
Slow moving tractors, self-
propelled equipment, and towed
implements can create a hazard
when driven on public roads. They
are difficult to see, especially at
night.
▲
Flashing warning lights and turn
signals are recommended
whenever driving on public roads.
Use lights and devices provided
with implement.
Use A Safety Chain
▲
A safety chain will help control
drawn machinery should it
separate from the tractor
drawbar.
▲
Use a chain with the strength
rating equal to or greater than
the gross weight of the towed
machinery.
▲
Attach the chain to the tractor
drawbar support or other
specified anchor location. Allow
only enough slack in the chain to
permit turning.
▲
Do not use safety chain for
towing.
