Transport
Loss of Control Hazard:
Do not tow the turbo max behind another implement on public
roads. Tow the turbo max to the field with a separate vehicle.
The leading implement may not provide sufficient lateral
control of a trailing implement at highway speeds. The total
weight of the train can also exceed the steering and/or braking
capability of the tractor. The resulting accident could cause
serious injury or death.
Loss of Control Hazard:
Use an adequate towing vehicle. Never tow an implement that
weighs more than 150% of the towing vehicle (transport
vehicle must weigh at least 67% of implement). Ensure that the
towing vehicle is adequate for the task. Using an inadequate
tow vehicle is extremely unsafe, and can result in loss of
control, serious injury and death.
Braking and Loss of Control Hazard:
Do not exceed 20 mph (32 kph). Slow down on rough roads.
Transport Steps
Know your implement weight. If tractor capabilities are
marginal, check actual weight of implement at a scale.
1. Check that implement is securely hitched to a
sufficient tractor (page 12).
2. Always use a locking-style hitch pin sized to match
holes in hitch and draw-bar, and rated for the load.
3. Attach safety chain to tractor with enough slack to
permit turning (page 12).
4. Verify correct operation of lights. Flashing warning
lights must be turned on whenever traveling on a
public roadway, except where such use is prohibited
by law.
5. Install transport locks, wing fold pins and close wing
lock valve (page 16).
6. Check that tires are properly inflated (page 28).
7. Plan the route. Avoid steep hills.
8. Always have lights on for highway operation.
9. Do not exceed 32 kph (20 mph). Comply with all
national, regional and local laws when traveling on
public roads.
10. Remember that the implement may be wider than
the towing vehicle. Allow safe clearance.
