brakes, if equipped, are adjusted correctly. The tractor must have enough weight and braking capacity,
especially when operating on roads and terrain that is not even. To achieve proper braking capacity, use
tractor of recommended size and weight to tow the machine. See Specifications for the minimum tractor
weight.
Familiarize yourself with and obey all road regulations that apply to your machine. Consult your local law
enforcement agency for local regulations regarding movement of farm equipment on public roads. Use
headlights, flashing warning lights, taillights and turn signals, day and night, unless prohibited by local law.
Make sure all the flashers are operating prior to driving on the road. Make sure reflectors are correctly
installed, in good condition, and wiped clean. Make sure the Slow Moving Vehicle (SMV) emblem, if
equipped, is clean, visible, and correctly mounted on the rear of the machine.
Do not operate the baler on the road with a bale in the chamber.
Be aware of other traffic on the road. Keep well over to your own side of the road and pull over, whenever
possible, to let faster traffic pass.
Be aware of the overall width, length, height, and weight of the equipment. Be careful when transporting
the machine on narrow roads and across narrow bridges.
Always install the safety transport chain between the implement and the tractor drawbar.
• Use a safety transport chain with a strength rating equal to or more than the gross weight of the towed
machines.
• Connect the safety transport chain to the tractor drawbar and use a retainer on the hitch pin.
• Supply only enough slack in the safety transport chain to permit turning.
• Do not use the safety transport chain as a tow chain for towing.
Watch for overhead wires and other obstructions.
Avoid contact with electrical power lines. Contact
with electrical power lines can cause electrical
shock, resulting in very serious injury or death.
