Transporting
!
WARNING
Transporting seeder at high speeds or with a tractor
without enough ballast could lead to loss of vehicle
control. Loss of vehicle control could lead to serious
road accidents, injury and death. Do not exceed 20
mph. Check that your tractor has enough ballast. Refer
to tractor operator’s manual for ballast requirements.
Before transporting seeder, follow and check
these items:
Unload seeder box. The seeder can be trans-
ported with a full box of grain, but the added
weight will increase stopping distance and de-
crease maneuverability. Unload seeder box
before transporting if at all possible.
Road rules. Comply with all federal, state and lo-
cal laws when traveling on public roads.
Clearance. Remember that the seeder is wider
than the tractor. Allow for safe clearance.
