Transporting 605NT or 606NT
Transport considerations are different for 3-point and
pull-type models. For 3-point, see page 20.
Use an Adequate Tractor (Pull-Type)
Loss of Control Hazard:
Insufficient tractor weight can dangerously reduce steering
authority, and increase braking loads beyond the capability of
the tractor. You can lose directional control entirely, which
could result in a major accident, serious injury, or death.
▲ Ensure that the tractor weighs at least 2 ⁄
3
(67%) of the drill
(including the weight of any Options and materials).
▲ Avoid transport with material loaded in boxes.
The total drill weight varies considerably with drill
configuration and material load. See table below.
