The tractor towing the implement must be of the same size,
weight and power as that used in the field.

Drive at a reasonable speed so that the tractor-implement
assembly is always under control.
∙
Do not drive down a hill faster than the maximum possible
speed at which it can be climbed.

Slow down in the corners, and when the road surface is
irregular.
∙ Do not attempt to take tight corners on the brakes.
∙ Always check the tightness of wheel studs before heading
onto a public road. They may be loose due to vibrations.
∙ Respect the maximum allowable dimensions (width, length,
weight). If the maximum dimensions are exceeded, comply
with the regulations in force concerning abnormal loads
(escort, abnormal load sign, administrative authorisation).
∙
Observe the maximum axle load and the maximum authorised
gross laden weight. Ensure that the load on the front axle of
the tractor is never less than 20% of the tractor dead weight. If
necessary, attach counterweights to the front of the tractor.
