DRIVING THE TRACTOR
Observe the following precautions when driving the
tractor:
•
Watch where you are going at all times,
especially at row ends, on roads, and around
trees.
•
Keep the tractor in gear when going downhill.
Use a low gear to maintain control with minimum
braking.
•
If the tractor becomes stuck, back out to prevent
upsetting the unit.
•
Always use the drawbar for pull-type work. Do
not pull from any other part of the tractor, since it
may tip backward.
•
Use headlights as needed. Do not blind the
operators of oncoming vehicles.
•
Engage the clutch slowly when driving out of a
ditch, gully, or up a steep hillside. Immediately
disengage the clutch if the front wheels should
rise off the ground.
•
Reduce speed before turning quickly or applying
brakes. Lock the brake pedals together when
traveling at high speeds. Brake both wheels
simultaneously when making an emergency
stop.
•
Never apply the differential lock when turning.
•
Use extreme caution and avoid hard applications
of the tractor brakes when pulling heavy, towed
loads at road speeds.
•
Any towed vehicle with a total weight exceeding
that of the towing tractor should be equipped with
brakes for safe operation.
•
Always sit in the driver’s seat while starting or
driving the tractor. Always wear the seat belt.
•
Always use a Slow Moving Vehicle (SMV)
emblem and turn flasher lights on when traveling
on public roads.
•
Always check overhead clearance, especially
when transporting the tractor.
