4.2. Transport Preparation
1. It is not recommended that the auger be transported faster than 20 mph (32 km/h).
references the
acceptable transport speed as per the ratio of tractor weight versus auger weight. See Specifications
(
Section 9. – Specifications on page 56
) for auger weights.
A weight imbalance between the auger and the towing vehicle could result in a collision
from reduced stability, handling, and braking ability.
2. Ensure the auger will clear any overhead obstructions or electrical wires prior to transporting. Refer to
Section 9. – Specifications on page 56
for the transport height of your auger.
3. Longer augers have a large turning radius. Allow ample room for turning as the discharge end may swing
dramatically. Allow all oncoming traffic to pass before turning right or left.
A collision with an oncoming vehicle could occur if the auger discharge swings into the
opposing lane.
Table 3.
Speed versus Weight Ratio
Road Speed
Weight or fully equipped or loaded implement(s)
relative to weight of towing machine
Up to 32 km/h (20 mph)
1 to 1, or less
Up to 16 km/h (10 mph)
2 to 1, or less
Do not tow if
More than 2 to 1
4.3. Swing Away Transport Preparation
1. Fully extend the swing away to reach the lift arm on the main auger.
2. Straighten the hopper using control (1) to avoid interference with the frame, see
3. Attach the winch cable to the hopper, lift into position, and secure the transport chain.
