OPERATION
2K795 3-9
Transport
1. Check and follow all federal, state, and local
requirements before transporting the Pulvi-Mulcher.
2. The Pulvi-Mulcher should be transported only by
tractor required for field operation. The implement
weight should not exceed more than 1.5 times the
tractor weight. Maximum transport speed for the
Pulvi-Mulcher is 20 mph.

CAUTION
3. When towing equipment in combination, the
maximum equipment ground speed shall be limited
to the lowest specified ground speed of any of the
towed implements.
4. Maximum transport speed shall be the lesser of
travel speed specified in the operator's manual,
speed identification symbol, information sign of
towed equipment, or limit of road conditions.
5. Slow down when driving on rough roads. Reduce
speed when turning, or on curves and slopes to
avoid tipping. Equipment altered other than the place
of manufacture may reduce the maximum transport
speed. Additional weight, added tanks, harrowing
attachments, etc. may reduce implement load
carrying capabilities.
6. A safety chain is provided with the implement to
insure safe transport.
• The safety chain should have a tensile strength equal
to or greater than the gross weight of the implement.
The chain is attached to the upper hitch clevis hole
with two flat washers between the clamp plates to
assure a tight connection. Always use a 1” diameter
Grade 8 bolt for this connection.
• Attach the safety chain to the tractor drawbar (See
Figure 3-10.) Provide only enough slack in the chain
for turning. Do not use an intermediate chain support
as the attaching point for the chain on the tractor. Do
not pull the implement by the safety chain.
Regularly inspect the safety chain for worn, stretched, or
broken links and ends. Replace the safety chain if it is
damaged or deformed in any way.
Figure 3-10: Safety Chain
7. Check that tires are of proper size, load rating, and
inflated to manufacture specifications before
transporting. Check wheel lug bolts to ensure
tightness.
See “General Torque Specifications” on
page 4-1.
8. Know the transport heights and widths of the unit
before transporting. Use caution when transporting
near bridges and power lines.

WARNING
9. Raise the machine to full transport height.
10. Install transport locks on lift systems. Do not depend
solely on implement hydraulics for transport. See
Figure 3-6.

WARNING
Excessive speed may result in loss of control of
the tractor and implement, reduced braking
ability, or failure of the implement tire or
structure. Do not exceed the implement
maximum specified ground speed regardless of
the capability of the maximum tractor speed.
Electrocution can occur without direct contact
Failure to use transport lock pins during
transport may result in permanent equipment
damage, serious injury or death
