Transport Machinery Safely

Maximum transport speed for implement is 20 mph (32
kph), 13 mph (22 kph) in turns. Some rough terrains
require a slower speed. Sudden braking can cause a
towed load to swerve and upset.
Do not tow an implement or nurse tank that weighs more

than 1.5 times the weight of towing vehicle.

Carry reflectors or flags to mark Disk Harrow in case of

breakdown on the road.

Keep clear of overhead power lines and other obstructions

when transporting. Refer to transport dimensions under
DH Specifications and Capacities” on page 32.

Do not exceed 20 mph. Never travel at a speed which does

not allow adequate control of steering and stopping. Reduce
speed if towed load is not equipped with brakes.

Reduce speed on rough roads.
Comply with national, regional and local laws.
Do not fold or unfold the Disk Harrow while the tractor is

moving.

Shutdown and Storage

Lower Disk Harrow, put tractor in park, turn off engine,

and remove the key.

Secure Disk Harrow using parking jack provided.
Detach and store Disk Harrow in an area where children

normally do not play.

Tire Safety

Tire changing can be dangerous. Employ trained person-
nel using correct tools and equipment.
When inflating tires, use a clip-on chuck and extension hose

long enough for you to stand to one side–not in front of or
over tire assembly. Use a safety cage if available.

When removing and installing wheels, use wheel-handling

equipment adequate for weight involved.
