3.4 TOWING ONE-AXLE AND TWO-
AXLE TRANSPORTERS WITH M
SERIES WINDROWER TRACTOR
The one-axle and two-axle MT8 Header
Transporters can be towed with the MacDon M
Series Windrower Tractor provided that the
MacDon Transporter Adapter Hitch (B5247) is
attached to the tractor.
CAUTION
Towing the Transporter without a header
on the Transporter is not recommended
because of the lack of sufficient weight
on the tractor drive wheels for safe
operation of the tractor.
CAUTION
If necessary to tow the Transporter
without a header on the Transporter, do
not operate tractor at typical road speed.
Proceed with caution.
