Any part posing a traffic hazard or dangerous parts (tines) must be covered and identified.
Lighting equipment of the towing vehicle may not be hidden by the implement; otherwise, they must
be installed on the mounted implement.
Warning signs or stickers should be visible at a height of max. 150 cm above the road when driving.
The bracket for the warning signs (additional equipment) is mounted on the centre frame (see section
The axle load and the total weight of the towing vehicle may not be exceeded.
The steering capacity of the tractor must not be impeded or reduced by the mounted implement!
Semi-mounted implements may only be towed on public roads with an operating permit.
Hydraulic implements must be folded in transport position (tine pre-tensioning).

CALCULATION OF THE WEIGHT RATIOS FOR AXLE LOADS
ON THE TRACTOR AND BALLAST WEIGHTS

not exceed the tractor's maximum permissible total weight, 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.
The necessary ballast weight as well as the actual axle loads can be determined using the following
formulas:
