Tractor Requirements
The figures in the table below represent a limited number
of configurations. The weight of your Discovator can vary
by hundreds of kilograms, even if it is the same base
model, due to installed options and/or after-market
equipment.
If your tractor weight or capability is in question, take
your Discovator to a scale and get a precise weight.
Transport Checklist
❑ Plan the route. Avoid steep hills. Keep clearances in
mind. Folded, your 8315-8324DVN is nearly
3.12m high and is 3m wide.
❑ Hitch.
Check that implement is securely hitched to a suffi-
cient tractor (page 17). Always use a locking-style
hitch pin sized to match holes in hitch and draw-bar,
and rated for the load.
❑ Check that tires are properly inflated. Remember
that the implement may be wider than the towing
vehicle. Allow safe clearance.
❑ If implement is equipped with optional brakes:
With tractor in Park, and with tractor parking brake
set, place chock blocks in transport position
(page 21).
❑ Always have lights on for highway operation.
❑ Comply with all national, regional and local safety
laws when travelling on public roads.
❑ Release all brakes and travel with caution.
