Tractor Requirements
The figures in the table below represent a limited number
of configurations. The weight of your drill can vary by
thousands of pounds, even if it is the same base model,
due to installed options and/or after-market equipment.
If your tractor weight or capability is near its limits, take
your empty drill to a scale and get a precise weight.
Transport Checklist
❑ Plan the route. Avoid steep hills. Keep Clearances in
mind. Folded, your NTA907 or NTA3007 is just under
4.1 m (13.5 feet) high and just under 3 m (10 feet)
wide.
❑ Hitch.
Make hydraulic, electrical and optional braking
connections. See “Hitching Tractor to Drill” on
page 27.
❑ Close hopper lids (page 55).
❑ Check that ladder (page 54), auger (page 64) and
markers (page 73) are stowed.
❑ If unfolded, raise, tilt, fold and hook drill.
See “Folding the Drill” on page 44.
❑ Remove wheel chocks.
❑ Always have lights on for highway operation.
Verify that Model NTA907 rear beacon switch is on
(page 31).
❑ Comply with all national, regional and local safety
laws when travelling on public roads.
❑ Release all brakes and travel with caution.
