If the tractor’s hydraulic pump is not independent of the tractor PTO, or if the tractor PTO has to be run to have
hydraulic power, disconnect the mower driveline from the tractor PTO output shaft. Secure the driveline to the
mower deck to prevent driveline damage or loss during transport.
Before transporting the tractor and mower, idle the tractor
engine, disengage the PTO and wait for all mower moving
parts to come to a complete stop. Raise the mower sections
and ensure transport locks engage.
OPS-F- 0021
Before transporting the tractor on a public roadway or
boarding a trailer for transport, the tractor brake pedals
should be locked together. Locking the pedals ensures
that both wheels brake simultaneously while stopping,
especially when making an emergency stop.
Use extreme caution and avoid hard applications of the
tractor brakes when towing heavy loads at road
speeds. Never tow the implement at speeds greater
than 20 MPH.
