14 Road transport of the GK 400 M1
14.1 Transport on public roads (in general)
Make sure than none of the safety splints or similar were lost during operation.
Comply with the road traffic regulations of your country's legislation.
Only relieve the hydraulic hoses at home by putting the tractor control unit into float position.
The holder for the warning sign with lighting (optional equipment) is mounted on the carrier for
the roller and should be positioned vertically to the road.
On the implement side, the top link must be firmly attached - never in the elongated slot of the
implement.
If you are using a ground wheel for the pneumatic spreader with a side bracket, please remove
it and hang it on the frame so that the transport width of 3 m is maintained.
After field operation, the roller of the GK 400 M1 must be cleaned to prevent soil residues
adhering to the roller from falling on the road.
14.2 Transport on public roads (most important specifications)
The axle load and the total weight of the towing vehicle may not be exceeded.
The mounted implement must be identified with warning signs or stickers with red and white
slanted lines (according to DIN, ÖNORM or the respective country-specific STANDARDS).
Any part posing a traffic hazard or dangerous parts must be covered and additionally identified
with warning signs or stickers. Warning signs or stickers should be visible at a height of max.
150 cm above the road when driving.
Lighting equipment of the towing vehicle may not be hidden by the implement, otherwise they
must be replicated on the mounted implement.
The steering capacity of the tractor must not be impeded or reduced by the mounted implement!
If the transport width of the GK 400 does not comply with the road traffic regulations of the
respective country of the operator, the GK 400 must be transported on a flatbed trailer.
14.3 Calculation of the weight ratios
If you want to drive with an implement that is attached to the 3-point linkage, you must ensure that
you do not exceed the tractor's maximum permissible total load, the permissible axle loads and tyre
load capacities with the mounted implement.
The front axle of the tractor must be loaded with at least 20 % of the net weight of the tractor.
All of these values can be determined with this calculation:
