2.1.4.2 Driving safety
Risk when driving on roads and fields
Any mounted or towed implement as well as front or rear ballast weights on the tractor influence the driving
behaviour and the steering and braking power of the tractor. The driving characteristics also depend on
the operating condition, the fill level of the load, and on the ground. If the driver does not take account of
changing driving characteristics, he can cause accidents.
Always ensure that the tractor's steering and braking systems are operating correctly.
The tractor must provide the required brake lag for the tractor and mounted implement.
Check the function of the brakes before moving off.
The tractor front axle must always be loaded with at least 20 % of the empty tractor weight to
ensure sufficient steering power.
Use front ballast weights if necessary.
Always attach the front or rear ballast weights properly on the specified fixing points.
Calculate and observe the payload of the mounted or towed implement.
Observe the permissible axle loads and drawbar loads of the tractor.
Observe the permissible drawbar load of the hitch device and drawbar.
Drive in such a way that you always have full control over the tractor with the mounted or towed
implement. In so doing, take your personal abilities into account, as well as the road, traffic, visibility
and weather conditions, the driving characteristics of the tractor, and the influence of the mounted
implement.
When driving on roads, risk of accident caused by uncontrolled lateral motions of the implement
Lock the tractor lower links for road travel.
Preparing the machine for road travel
If the machine is not properly prepared for road travel, it can result in serious traffic accidents.
Check the lighting and identification for road travel for proper function.
Remove coarse dirt from the implement.
Follow the instructions in the section "Preparing the implement for road travel".
