The following measures shall be adopted to prevent possibility of tractor turning over:
●
Adjust the track width to suit the task in hand
●
If the tractor is equipped with a front lift, keep the bucket and load as low as possible
●
A tractor with a front loader should travel in reverse down a downhill slope and forwards on an uphill slope.
●
Speed will be suitable to avoid losing driving control on uneven terrain.
●
To avoid overturning over, the tractor will be carefully driven at safe speed, especially when making turn at
loose ground, crossing ditch, crossing inclined slope or urgent corner.
●
Don’t make a turn at the corner at high speed.
●
Be very careful when working on abrupt slope.
●
Always drive straight up or down slopes, as traversing
slopes across the gradient could cause the tractor to
overturn
●
When going down or uphill (on inclined slope), keep
implements as close to the ground as possible.
●
An unloaded tractor or a tractor with a rear-mounted
implement should tackle uphill gradients slopes in
reverse and downhill gradients travelling forwards.
●
DO NOT freewheel down a slope with the clutch
disengaged or the gearbox in neutral.

●
When carrying out tasks requiring high tractive force,
engage 4WD, if available
●
Only loads suited to the tractor power output may be
towed, which is shown in the chapter of technical
parameters.
●
When towing a load at transport speed or in the field,
lock the drawbar in the central position and use the
safety chain.
●
NEVER tow by hitching to the top link of the 3-point
linkage or from any point higher than the centre of the
rear wheels
●
Always use the towing hitches approved by the
