DRIVING THE TRACTOR ON PUBLIC ROADS
For as much as half of their operating
time, tractors are used on public roads,
including the hauling of agricultural ma-
chines in the transport position. All the
vehicles intended for running on public
roads shall meet more stringent safety
requirements. In this case, the tractor
and the machine/implement attached,
trailed by or mounted thereon shall com-
ply with the requirements for competent
operation and maintenance. The tractor
owner and/or operator are responsible
for observance of the officially adopted
traffic regulations and technical require-
ments imposed on road transport.
The vehicles whose width exceeds the
tractor overall dimensions shall be
equipped with cat’s eyes.
Special permits and particular regula-
tions are applied for driving the tractors
whose overall dimensions with or without
machine or implement including loaded
or unloaded trailers and semi-trailers ex-
ceed at least one of the following dimen-
sions on the public roads:
1. Height: 4 m from the road surface.
2. Width: 2.55 m.
3. Length: 20 m for tractors within a road
train.
4. If the load projects beyond the vehicle
clearance limits by 2 m or more.
Any departure from the above-listed
normative figures is subject to agreement
with the authorities responsible for road
traffic.
IT IS PROHIBITED TO:
• Articulate the machines, transportation
of loads with the weight and/or load
distribution between the axles or tyres
exceeding the values set forth in the
Operating Manual for the tractor.
• Use trailed- and semitrailed-type agri-
cultural machines including general-
purpose trailers and semi-trailers, with
no safety cables (chains) installed.
One of unoccupied holes of the hitch
linkage serves for attaching the safety
chains (cables) (the mounting hard-
ware shall be included in the scope of
delivery of the machine to be aggre-
gated).
• Use trailed and semi-trailed machines
including trailers and semi-trailers of
general- and special-purpose without
service and parking brakes.
• Use a haul-and-draw coupling ar-
rangement ТСУ -1 (crossbar) for
transporting the technical facilities ex-
cept in case of jobs to be performed in
combination with agricultural ma-
chines in the field.
• Drive the tractor on roads of any type
whatsoever including railroad cross-
ings, if the machine(s)/implement(s)
attached are not in transport position.
• Driving through railroad crossings of
electrified sections without a special
permit, if the outside dimensions ex-
ceeding the 4-m height limit.
•
Driving the tractor backward (in re-
verse) on public roads, since the light-
signalling equipment is only designed
for the forward travel.
• Haul the attached agricultural ma-
chines with process cargo.
