Landoll 9630 Field Cultivator - Manual (Page 115)

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
4-5
Transporting
1. Check and follow all federal, state, and local
requirements before transporting the Field Cultivator.
2. The Field Cultivator should be transported only by
tractor required for field operation. The implement
weight should not exceed more than 1.5 times the
tractor weight. Unless noted on the implement,
maximum transport speed is 20 mph for the
implement and is designated on the speed
identification symbol located on the front of the
implement (See Figure 4-4.)

and Safety Chain

WARNING
3. When towing in combination, the maximum
equipment ground speed shall be limited to the
lowest specified ground speed of any of the towed
implements.
4. Maximum transport speed shall be the lesser of the
specified in the operator’s manual, speed
identification symbol, information sign of the towed
implement, or limit of road condition.
5. Slow down when driving on rough roads. Reduce
speed when turning, or on curves and slopes to
avoid tipping. Equipment altered other than the place
of manufacture may reduce the maximum transport
speed. Additional weights, added tanks, markers,
harrow attachments, etc. may reduce the implements
carrying capabilities.
6. A safety chain is provided with the implement to
insure safe transport.
7. The safety chain should have a tensile strength equal
to or greater than the gross weight of the implement.
The chain is attached to the lower hitch clevis hole
with two flat washers between the clamp plates to
assure a tight connection. Always use a 1” diameter
Grade 8 bolt for this connection.
8. Attach the safety chain to the tractor drawbar (See
Figure 4-4.) Provide only enough slack in the chain
for turning. Do not use an intermediate chain support
as the attaching point for the chain on the tractor. Do
not pull the implement by the safety chain.
9. When unhitching from the tractor attach the hook end
of the chain to a free link close to the hitch clevis for
storage. This will keep the hook off the ground,
reducing corrosion and keep the hook functioning
properly.
10. Regularly inspect the safety chain for worn,
stretched, or broken links and ends. Replace the
safety chain if it is damaged or deformed in any way.
Excessive speed may result in the loss of control
of the tractor and implement, reduced braking, or
failure of the implement tires or structure. Do not
exceed the implement maximum specified
ground speed regardless of the capability of the
maximum tractor speed.
