ATTACHING AND DETACHING TRAILED
EQUIPMENT
IMPORTANT: Regulations in some areas require
brakes on towed equipment when operating on the
public highway. Before traveling on public highways,
make sure you comply with legal requirements.
To attach the tractor to trailed equipment and
implements:
1. Be sure implement is at the draw bar height.
2. Slowly inch rearwards to allow the drawbar and
implement hitch to intersect (steering sharply left
and right will aid in hitch alignment).
3. Set parking brake and stop engine.
4. Insert hitch pin and be sure the retainer is in the
latched position.
NOTE: For implements that require hitch extensions
or interfere with the tractor clevis, remove and store
the clevis and hitch pin.
Always use a safety chain installed between the
tractor and implement hitch when transporting
equipment on the highway.
North American standards recommend that you
observe the following precautions for towing
equipment not equipped with brakes:
DO NOT TOW equipment weighing more than twice
the tractor weight.
DO NOT exceed 16 km/h (10 MPH) if towed
equipment weighs more than the tractor.
DO NOT exceed 32 km/h (20 MPH) while towing
equipment that weighs less than the tractor.
