Transporting the Drill
Loss of Control Hazard:
Ensure that the towing vehicle is adequate for the task. Using
an inadequate tow vehicle is extremely unsafe, and can result
in loss of control, serious injury and death.
Loss of Control Hazard:
Towing the drill at high speeds or with a vehicle that is not
heavy enough could lead to loss of vehicle control. Loss of
vehicle control could lead to serious road accidents, injury
and death. To reduce the hazard:
Do not tow a drill that, when fully loaded, weighs more than
1.5 times the weight of the towing vehicle.
Braking and Loss of Control Hazard:
Do not exceed 20 mph when driving straight.
Reduction of Control Risk:
Seed may be loaded prior to travel, but increases stopping
distance, increases the need for caution in turns and braking,
and increases tire wear.
