To avoid rear overturns
WARNING: Hitching to the rear axle, or any other
point above the swinging drawbar, can cause a
rear overturn.
•
DO NOT pull anything using the top link connection,
or from any point above the centre line of the rear axle.
Always use an approved drawbar, and only use a
drawbar pin that locks into place.
•
High hitching can cause rear overturn, which may
cause serious injury or death. Hitch loads to the
drawbar only.
•
If the transversal drilled drawbar mounted on the
three-point linkage is used for towing operations on
the field, the lower links must be kept in the lowered
position.
•
Use front counterweights to increase tractor stability
when towing a heavy load or to counter balance a
heavy rear mounted implement (Fig.2-26).
•
DO NOT overload your tractor and DO NOT ballast it
beyond its carrying capacity. Never add ballast weight
to conterbalance an overload. Reduce the load
instead (Fig.2-27).
WARNING:
Overload is ALWAYS dangerous. Check
the load capacity of your tractor and NEVER
exceed it (Fig.2-28). See the Technical
Specifications section.
