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.

doing work. Use proper tools and
equipment, refer to Operator’s
Manual for additional information.

ground, put tractor in park, turn off
