2.3 Public road safety
When driving on public roads, or along tracks, or in public parks, observe all
traffic rules and regulations.
Make sure that the fertiliser spreader complies with all public traffic rules and
specifications.
Observe all maximum transport width laws and equip the unit with all correct
lighting and traffic warning shields.
Make sure tractor steering and braking efficiency is not impaired in any
way!
Due to the combined weight of the fertiliser spreader and material in the hopper,
it is possible that the tractor/fertiliser spreader combination could become
unstable.
Attaching units to either front or rear 3-point tractor linkages must not exceed
the maximum permissible total weight, individual permissible axle weight or ma-
ximum tyre loads. The front axle must be ballasted to achieve a minimum load
of 20% of total unloaded weight (see chapter 13: Axle Load Calculation).
•
Ensure that all these conditions can be entirely met before the fertiliser
spreader is attached. Observe all instructions and recommendations rela-
ting to weight and axle loading, as given in the tractor operator manual.
•
Steering characteristics can deteriorate when implements are attached.
•
Be aware that implements need more room when driving through curves
due to their long overhang, and can negatively affect stability due to their
large mass.
DANGER
Make sure tractor steering and braking efficiency is not impaired in
any way!
Steering and braking efficiency is influenced when attaching a fertiliser spreader
and its load. Ensure that steering and braking efficiency is correct and reduce
forward speed to suit load conditions!
2.4 Lighting (applicable for Germany)
General
If part of the tractor lighting system or official number plate is obscured, it is ne-
cessary to equip the spreader with an auxilliary system, even if only operated in
daylight hours.
Attachment height
When driving on public roads running lights must not exceed a height of
1500mm and reflectors a height of 900mm, above ground level.
Rear warning shield requirements
If the fertiliser spreader extends more than 1000mm beyond the tractor running
lights, a rear warning shield is required.
DANGER
