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 more
than weight of tractor but less
than 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 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.
