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 mower at speeds greater than
20 MPH.
Laminated Sectional Tires are designed for conditions where puncture proof performance is required and the
mower will not be transported for long distances on roadways. Transport speed for laminated tires should not
exceed 10 MPH. Excessive speed can cause damage to the machine and tire sections.
Foam Filled used Airplane Tires are ideal for conditions where a puncture proof tire is needed and the mower is
frequently transported between locations.
13. TRANSPORTING THE TRACTOR AND MOWER
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 wings and secure in position with
transport lock pins. When transporting, only raise the
center deck enough to clear ground obstacles to prevent
tipping, especially when traveling through rough terrain.
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.
Inherent dangers of operating the tractor and mower and the possibility of accidents are not left behind when you
finish mowing an area. Therefore, the operator must employ good judgement and safe operation practices
when transporting the tractor and mower between locations. By using good judgement and following safe
transport procedures, the possibility of accidents while moving between locations can be substantially minimized.
DANGER!
Never allow children or other persons to ride on the Tractor or
Implement. Falling off can result in serious injury or death.
(SG-10)
P neumatic Tires (used airplane or implement tires) are ideal for frequent long distance towing, however, they are
not puncture proof and are not recommended for mowing brushy areas or other conditions that could damage the
tires. Maximum airplane tire inflation pressure is 50 PSI, minimum inflation pressure is 20 PSI. Inflate
ribbed implement tires to manufacturer rated PSI as shown on the tire sidewall. DO NOT over-inflate.
