TRANSPORTING
With the equipment connected to the tractor,
enter the operator’s position.
Fully raise the equipment using the tractor’s three
point hitch during transporting.
Comply with federal, state, local and provincial
laws regarding the transport of farm equipment
on public roadways.
WARNING
AVOID SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH
Use of an unapproved hitch or tractor can result in
loss of control, leading to serious injury or death.
Tractor and hitch must have the rated capacity to
tow equipment.
Excess weight will greatly increase tractor
stopping distance and may cause the operator to
lose control of the tractor.
Verify that the tractor is approved for transporting
the equipment and that the equipment is securely
attached to the tractor.
Verify safety chain is installed and properly
connected before transporting equipment. Verify
that the SMV (Slow Moving Vehicle) emblem, all
lights and reflectors are clean and visible.
The ratio of the tractor / tow vehicle weight to the
loaded equipment weight plays an important role
in defining acceptable travel speed.
TRAVEL SPEED - Acceptable travel speed.
WEIGHT RATIO - Weight of implement relative to
weight of tractor / tow vehicle.
Travel Speed Weight Ratio
Up to 20 mph (32 kph) 1 to 1 (or less)
