may be fitted to your tractor in the future.

All implements connected to the tractor must bear the CE mark (Europe only). All equipment must be
accompanied by a operation and maintenance handbook, to be read before assembling and using the
equipment.

It is essential that operators use and understand the relevant Operator’s Manual which accompany such
implements and attachments not treated in this book.
