Transport Safety

WARNING

!

To avoid serious injury or death:  

Always disengage power take-off and wait for the driveline 

to stop rotating before raising the implement to the 

transport position.

When traveling on roadways, travel in such a way that 

other vehicles may pass you safely. Always use LED lights, 

clean reflectors, and a slow moving vehicle sign that is 

visible from the back to warn operators in other vehicles of 

your presence. Always comply with all federal, state, and 

local laws.

Select a safe ground speed that will allow adequate control 

of steering and stopping. Never exceed 20 mph (32 km/h) 

with attached equipment. Rough terrain requires a slower 

speed.

Transporting

1. Transport only with a tractor of sufficient size and 

horsepower for handling the attached implement.

2. Disengage power take-off before raising the 

implement to transport position.

3. Select a safe ground speed to transport. Never 

transport with an attached implement above 20 mph.

4. Reduce tractor ground speed when turning and leave 

enough turning clearance to make sure implement 

does not contact obstacles such as buildings, trees 

or fences.

5. Shift tractor to a lower gear when traveling over rough 

or hilly terrain.

6. When traveling on roadways, transport in such a way 

that faster moving vehicles may pass you safely.

Operating Instructions

Once you have familiarized yourself with the Operator’s 

Manual and properly attached your Kubota K-Hitch to the 

tractor, you should be just about ready to start 

‘‘management and handling’’ of your compatible 

implements.
If you are going to gain the benefit of owning a Kubota 

K-Hitch you will need to park your implements on a firm 

surface ensuring that the hitch pins and driveline stub 

shaft remain upright and oriented for future K-Hitch 

alignment and attachment. This K-Hitch is simply a better 

way to manage your time, implements, and investment.
Now you are ready to use your K-Hitch. Start your tractor 

and raise your K-Hitch high enough to allow you to reach 

the lock handle. Pull the handle up until it locks into 

position. This will allow the two frames to unlock from 

each other. Slowly back up centering the K-Hitch with the 

implement you want to connect. Lower the K-Hitch until 

the top hitch point is below the implement top hitch point. 

You are now ready to connect your K-Hitch to the 

implement. Refer to 

“Connect Implement to K-Hitch” 

on page 14.
For operating instructions of your compatible implement, 

refer to your compatible implement Operator’s Manual.
When you are ready to disconnect the implement, 

position the implement over a firm surface or prepared 

docking point that will keep the implement properly 

oriented for future connecting. Refer to 

“Disconnect 

Implement from K-Hitch” 

on page 16. With a little 

practice you should get very good at connecting and 

disconnecting quickly.
