Precautions / Road transport
Prepare and check the implement for transport by
road. DO NOT stand or ride on the implement or
remain within its turning circle operating area. Ob-
serve the relevant speed limits and traffic regulati-
ons when transporting the outfit by road. Take care
when negotiating curves, as towed implements
tend to swing out. Observe the road traffic regulati-
ons (StVZO or your local equivalent). These regu-
lations normally make the user responsible for the
secure hitching and safe operation on public roads
of the tractor and the implements being towed. The
attachment of towed implements must not lead to
any excess with respect to the permitted axle load,
laden weight or tyre load (depending on speed and
pressure) of the tractor. For safe steering, the front
axle of the tractor must bear at least 20 % of the
vehicle’s unladen weight.
The maximum permitted width of the load is three
metres. A special permit is normally required for
moving oversized loads. In the case of front attach-
ment, the distance between the front end/ground
loosener and centre of steering wheel /tractor must
not exceed 3.5 m. If this ”front-end limit” is excee-
ded, the user must take appropriate measures to
ensure that there is adequate driver visibility at
the farmyard exit, road junctions and crossings.
This can be carried out, for example, by use of a
second person (on foot or in another vehicle) to
give the tractor driver appropriate instructions. No
avoidable overhanging item must endanger other
traffic or road users (sect. 32 StVZO or your local
equivalent). Overhanging items that cannot be
avoided must be covered and fitted with warning
notices. Safety devices include appropriate lighting
and signs around all sides and the rear of the ve-
hicle and towed implement, e.g. red/white striped
warning signs measuring 423 x 423 mm. Additional
lighting is required if the towed implement blocks
those already fitted to the tractor, or weather condi-
tions make it advisable: e.g. to front and rear, if the
towed implement is wider than the tractor’s lights
by more than 40 cm, or overhangs by more than 1
metre with respect to the existing rear lights.
If an additional pair of headlamps is required for
the front-mounted configuration (with only one
set of headlamps switched on at once), a special
permit is normally required.
A lighting system – with warning panels – can also
be obtained from RABE as an optional extra.
When transporting on public roads in Poland, the
warning triangle (7.1/1) must be fixed to the centre
of the machine.
