 Precautions when driving on public roads
Dimensions
Depending on the dimensions of the machine, contact
the relevant authorities to ensure that it can be legally
transported on public roads.
If the machine is over the maximum legal size, follow the
local regulations for special transportation of oversize
equipment.
Transport position
Before transporting the machine on public roads, place
the machine into its transport position, according to the
instructions in this manual.
Lights and indicators
Before transporting the machine on public roads, ensure
that all legally required lightings and signallings are in
place.
Ensure that lightings and signallings are clean and in
good working order. Replace any missing or broken
equipment.
Gross weight and weight per axle
Always obey current regulations for driving
on roads.
The drawings are not legally binding, their only aim is to illustrate the method to use.
Prior to driving on public roads, check that all criteria are met to be in conformity with the
countrie's regulations:
- When coupling a tool to the front and/or rear 3-point lift linkage, the maximum authorized
payload must not be exceeded.
- When coupling tools to the front and/or rear 3-point lift linkages, the maximum load on
tractor's tires must not be exceeded.
- The load on the tractor front axle must always represent 20 % of the tractor unladen weight.
For machines with hoppers or tanks:
- If the total unit weight exceeds the tractor Gross Combined Weight Rating in accordance
with the countrie's legislation, empty the hopper to travel on public roads.
- In any case, we recommend to travel on public roads with empty hoppers and tanks.
