Transport Steps
Know your implement weight. See page 40 for a list of
approximate weight of various configurations.
If tractor capabilities are marginal, check actual weight of
implement at a scale.
1. Check that fertilizer applicator is securely hitched to
a sufficient tractor (page 22)
2. Verify correct operation of lights.
3. Raise fertilizer applicator (page 35).
4. Install lift cylinder locks (page 31).
5. Fold applicator if unfolded (page 37).
6. Plan the route. Avoid steep hills.
7. Always have lights on for highway operation.
8. Do not exceed 20 mph (32 kph). Comply with all
national, regional and local laws when traveling on
public roads.
9. Remember that the fertilizer applicator may be wider
than the tractor. Allow safe clearance.
10. Transport slowly over uneven or rough terrain.
Final Implement Setup
Prior to hitching nurse tank, make and check final
implement adjustments. This could include:
• Application depth, page 53.
• Application Rate, page 64.
• Row cleaner adjustments, page 63.
• Make a dry run to check implement functions, running
depth and sealing.
For nurse cart hitching, the implement may be raised or
lowered, folded or unfolded. However, raised and folded
hastens departure if any nurse tank problems are
discovered before cart hitching.
