Towing the Windrower
In emergency situations, for example, towing out
of a field or into a shop, windrower may be towed
without a trailer, providing the following
precautions are followed:
WARNING
A proper towing apparatus is critical to safe
towing. Use the following guidelines:
Do not attach directly from hitch to walking
beam. Slope of tow-bar will not provide
proper transfer of braking force to
windrower, causing loss of control.
For proper steering, towing apparatus
should be attached to both left and right
hand frame members and should attach to
tow-bar at same height as towing vehicle
hitch.
Towing apparatus should be removed for
field operation, to avoid interference with
windrow.
WARNING
With final drives disengaged, the windrower
may roll on a sloped surface. Before
disengaging final drives, attach windrower to
towing vehicle. After towing, engage drives
and ensure Ground Speed Lever (GSL) is in
N-DETENT before detaching from towing
vehicle.
IMPORTANT
Failure to disengage final drives before
towing will result in serious transmission
damage.
IMPORTANT
Do NOT exceed 16 mph (26 km/h) when
towing windrower.
IMPORTANT
Do NOT use this towing method for normal
transporting of windrower.
IMPORTANT
Even with final drives disengaged, rolling
speeds of more than 16 mph (26 km/h) will
cause final drive gears to run at excessive
speeds, possibly severely damaging or
causing the unit to fail.
6.3.8.4 Final
Drives
Disengage and engage final drives as follows:
a. Remove the two hex bolts (A) at center of drive
wheel.
b. Remove cap (B), and flip over so that dished side
faces in. The cap depresses a pin which
disengages the gearbox.
c. After towing, reverse cover (A) to re-engage final
drives. Be sure plunger at center of wheel pops
out to engage drive.
