The best way to transport a tractor that has broken down is to tow it away on a flat bed truck. Always secure
the tractor to the truck with chains. Before transporting the tractor on a flat bed truck or on a railway wagon,
make sure that the engine hood, doors, openable roof (if present) and windows are all closed and securely
fastened. Never tow the tractor at speeds in excess of 10 kph. An operator must stay in the driving position to
steer and brake the tractor.
5.6. Driving on highway
●
Comply with the highway code, including regulations concerning speed limits, correct use of lights, hazard
warning lights and slow moving vehicle warning signs.
●
When driving the tractor on the road, insert the connecting bolt to lock the two brake pedals together. This is
to ensure effectiveness and bilateral braking.
●
Speed will be reduced adequately in advance to avoid accident, overturning and collision when steering and
making a turn. The tractor cannot make sudden turn when driving at high speed and it cannot make sudden turn
by using lateral braking to avoid overturning danger.
●
Lift all implements to their lowest transportation positions and lock at their positions.
●
Disengage the power take-off and the differential lock.
●
Use the correct pin for the towing hitch and secure with its locking cotter.
●
Make sure that all necessary outline markings and the hazard warning lights (if required by local regulations)
are in place and in working order.
●
Clean all lights required for road use, front and rear, and make sure they are under normal operation state.
●
The SMV (Slow Moving Vehicle) sign, the rotating beacon, flashing lights or other high-visibility equipment
must be used in compliance with the statutory rules of the highway code.
●
Fix the swinging towing hitch in a fixed position using the safety locks. If required by the rules of the highway
code, affix the appropriate safety warnings to the load.
