Towing the Windrower (Emergency)
In emergency situations, for example, towing out of a
fi
eld or into a shop, windrower may be towed without a
trailer, providing the following precautions are followed:
WARNING
A proper towing apparatus is critical to safe towing.
Use the following guidelines:
•
Do NOT attach directly from hitch to walking beam.
Slope of tow-bar will not provide proper transfer of
braking force to windrower, causing loss of control.
•
For proper steering, towing apparatus should be
attached to BOTH left and right cab-forward frame
members, and should attach to tow-bar at same
height as towing vehicle hitch.
•
Towing apparatus should be removed for field
operation, to avoid interference with windrow.
