Transport
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 exceed 20 mph.
Do not tow a drill that, when fully loaded, weighs more than
1.5 times the weight of the towing vehicle.
In the following table, multiply the total drill weight by
0.67 (
2 ⁄
3
) to determine minimum tractor weight.
