In order to test the overall stability, the following formula can be used to calculate the
minimum weight on the front side I

with a minimum front axle load of 20% of the empty
weight of the tractor:

The machine may only be transported on public roads in a vertical position.
Observe the road traffic regulations when driving on public highways.
Maximum transport speed: 25 km/h
When the machine is uncoupled from the tractor, it must be placed on a firm, level
surface.
