The tractor must only be towed for short distances, for example from inside a building to the outside. It must not be
towed for long distances on roads with heavy traffic.
Tow the tractor from the rear, using only the drawbar, the rear tow hitch or the three-point linkage device.
Tow the tractor from the front using the tow pin in the front ballast weights or front support.
Have an operator steer and brake the tractor when necessary.
To avoid damaging the transmission or other components that turn but are not lubricated during towing, observe
the following:
• position the gear and range levers in neutral;
• only tow for short distances;
• keep speed below
8 km/h ( 5.0 mph );
• if possible, run the engine to lubricate the power steering components.
