NEVER USE INDEPENDENT BRAKING
LOSS OF CONTROL OR UPSET MAY RESULT.
Always drive at a safe speed relative to local conditions and ensure that your speed is low
enough for an emergency stop. Keep speed to minimum.
Reduce speed prior to turns to avoid risk of overturning.
Always keep tractor or towing unit in gear to provide engine braking when going downhill.
Do not coast.
Do not drink and drive!
Comply with state and local laws governing highway safety and movement of farm machinery on public
roads.
Use approved accessory lighting flags and necessary warning devices to protect operators of other vehicles
on highway during transport. Various safety lights and devices are available from your dealer.
Use of flashing amber lights is acceptable in most localities. However, some localities prohibit their use.
Local laws should be checked for all highway lighting and marking requirements.
When driving tractor under 20 mph (40 kph) day or night, use flashing amber warning light and a slow
moving vehicle (SMV) identification emblem.
Plan your route to avoid heavy traffic.

bridges, intersections, etc.
Be observant of bridge load ratings. Do not cross bridges rated lower than a gross weight of unit you are
operating.
Watch for obstructions overhead and side to side while transporting.
Always operate equipment in a position to provide maximum visibility at all times. Make allowances for
increased width and weight when making turns, or stopping.
