Transporting the Product
Loss of Control Hazard (Weight):
Do not tow if product exceeds the load rating of the vehicle.
Ensure that the towing vehicle is adequate. An inadequate tow
vehicle is extremely unsafe, and can result in loss of control,
serious injury and death.
Check Bridge Loads
: A loaded product, or a product with cart
in tow, can exceed the load ratings of bridges you must cross.
The product can weigh up to 45,000 pounds (20 400 kg),
depending on configuration and seed load. A tank cart hitched
to the product (“in train”) can add another 12,000 pounds
(5400 kg) empty. The tractor unit MUST be rated for the load.
If the tractor is not rated for at least 45,000 pounds, calculate
or obtain a scale weight of the product and cart.
Loss of Control Hazard (Tank Carts):
A tank cart in train must be EMPTY. A full SML-735 cart
weighs 12,000 pounds (5400kg), and, when hitched to the
product, represents an unsafe highway load regardless of
towing vehicle. A loaded nurse cart must be transported
separately.
Loss of Control Hazard (Unfold):
The CFM switch must be set to Hitch, and the hydraulic circuit
must be in FLOAT during transport. Failure to do this may
result in hydraulic system damage, transport hooks
unlatching, a serious highway accident and major
product/tractor damage.
Braking and Loss of Control Hazard:
Do not exceed 20 mph (32 km/h) when driving straight.
Loss of Control Hazard:
Do not exceed 13 mph (22 km/h) in turns. The implement name
is extremely heavy, and can cause “over-steer” with most
tractors. The leading gauge wheels, rear-most transport
