Checking the suitability of the tractor
WARNING
Danger of breaking during operation, insufficient stability and
insufficient tractor steering and braking power on improper use
of the tractor!
•
Check the suitability of your tractor before you mount or hitch the
implement onto the tractor.
You may only connect the implement to tractors suitable for the
purpose.
•
Carry out a brake test to check whether the tractor achieves the
required braking delay with the implement connected.
Requirements for the suitability of a tractor are, in particular:
•
The permissible total weight
•
The permissible axle loads
•
The permissible drawbar load at the tractor coupling point
•
The load capacity of the installed tyres
•
The permissible trailer load must be sufficient
You can find this data on the rating plate or in the vehicle
documentation and in the tractor operating manual.
The front axle of the tractor must always be subjected to at least 20 %
of the empty weight of the tractor.
The tractor must achieve the brake delay specified by the tractor
manufacturer, even with the implement connected.
