DRIVING THE TRACTOR AND IMPLEMENT
Safe tractor transport requires the operator possess a thorough knowledge of the model being operated and precau-
tions to take while driving with an attached implement. Ensure the tractor has the capacity to handle the weight of the
implement and the tractor operating controls are set for safe transport. To ensure safety while driving the tractor with
an attached implement, review the following. OPS-U- 0012
This Implement may be wider than the Tractor. Be careful when operating or transporting this
equipment to prevent the Implement from running into or striking sign posts, guard rails, concrete
abutments or other solid objects. Such an impact could cause the Implement and Tractor to pivot
violently resulting in loss of steering control, serious injury, or even death. Never allow the Imple-
ment to contact obstacles. (S3PT-12)
Transport only at speeds where you can maintain control of the equipment.
Serious accidents and injuries can result from operating this equipment at high
speeds. Understand the Tractor and Implement and how it handles before transporting on streets
and highways. Make sure the Tractor steering and brakes are in good condition and operate prop-
erly.
Before transporting the Tractor and Implement, determine the proper transport speeds for you and
the equipment. Make sure you abide by the following rules:
Test the tractor at a slow speed and increase the speed slowly. Apply the Brakes smoothly to de-
termine the stopping characteristics of the Tractor and Implement. As you increase the speed of
the Tractor the stopping distance increases. Determine the maximum transport speed not to exceed
20 mph (30 kph) for transporting this equipment.
Test the equipment at a slow speed in turns. Increase the speed through the turn only after you de-
termine that the equipment can be operated at a higher speed. Use extreme care and reduce your
speed when turning sharply to prevent the tractor and implement from turning over. Determine the
maximum turning speed for you and this equipment before operating on roads or uneven ground.
Only transport the Tractor and Implement at the speeds which allow you to properly control the
equipment.
Be aware of the operating conditions. Do not operate the Tractor with weak or faulty brakes or worn
tires. When operating down a hill or on wet or rain slick roads, the braking distance increases: use
extreme care and reduce your speed. When operating in traffic always use the Tractor’s flashing
warning lights and reduce your speed. Be aware of traffic around you and watch out for the other
guy. (SG-19)
