TRANSPORTING
Field Transport
Never allow any riders on the tractor or the tedder.
Remain fully aware of the width of the tedder in relation to objects you are passing.
Never travel at speeds of more than 12 MPH in the field.
Road Transport
Adhere the suggestions for field transport listed above.
ALWAYS FOLLOW LOCAL TRAFFIC LAWS IN REGARDS TO THE TRANSPORTING OF FARM
EQUIPMENT. FRONTIER WILL NOT BE HELD LIABLE FOR FINES INCURRED DUE TO
TRAFFIC VIOLATIONS.
Do not exceed 20 MPH on any public road. Excessive speeds combined with common road ob-
structions can cause failures.
Be sure the SMV (slow moving vehicle) Symbol is visible from the rear of the machine as shown
in Figure 3.
Keep a close eye on the tedder wings when transporting on the road or in the field. A leaky valve
in the tractor’s hydraulic system will cause the tedder to slowly unfold. If this occurs, you will want
to disconnect the hydraulics before transporting. Figure 4 shows the wings supported properly for
transport and the safety chains attached.
Be sure to use the lights when traveling on the road at night.
