Transport Machinery Safely
Maximum transport speed for sprayer is 20 mph (32
kph). Some rough terrains require a slower speed. Sud-
den braking can cause a heavy 3-point load to swerve
and upset the tractor.
▲ Follow your tractor manual recommendations for maximum
hitch loads. See “Specifications and Capacities” on
page 57. Insufficient weight on tractor steering wheels will
result in loss of control.
▲ Do not exceed 20 mph (32 kph). Never travel at a speed
which does not allow adequate control of steering and stop-
ping.
▲ Comply with national, regional and local laws.
▲ Carry reflectors or flags to mark tractor and sprayer in case
of breakdown on the road.
▲ Keep clear of overhead power lines and other obstructions
when transporting. Refer to transport dimensions under
“Specifications and Capacities” on page 57.

tion.
