Driving on the road
Safety
Stabilise lift rods
During transport, stabilise the lift rods of the tractor. This will prevent
from unintended sideways movement of the machine.
Adapt speed; max 25 km/h
Under all circumstances, adapt your driving speed to the road and
field conditions, but do never drive in excess of 25 km/h. Excessively
high speeds causes excessive stresses on both tractor and machine,
and may cause breakage.
