3.3 Tractor Horsepower
The power required to operate an implement is determined by the tractor PTO horsepower. For most operating
conditions, implement requires a tractor with at least 8 HP per foot. This horsepower requirement can be lower
or higher depending upon field and soil conditions/type/moisture and desired disc depth and operating speed
Operating the implement with a tractor that does not have adequate power may damage the tractor engine.
Exceeding required HP may cause implement damage by overpowering the unit in heavy DISC HARROW
conditions.
3.1 ROPS and Seat Belt
The tractor must be equipped with a Roll-Over-Protective-Structure (ROPS) (tractor cab or roll-bar) and seat
belt to protect the operator from falling off the tractor, especially during a roll over where the driver could be
crushed and killed. Only operate the tractor with the ROPS in the raised position and seat belt fastened.
Tractor models not equipped with a ROPS and seat belt should have these life saving features installed by an
authorized dealer.
OPS-U- 0003
Operate this Equipment only with a Tractor equipped with an approved roll-
over-protective system (ROPS). Always wear seat belts. Serious injury or even
death could result from falling off the tractor, particularly during a turnover when
the operator could be pinned under the ROPS.

3.2 Tractor Safety Devices
If transporting or operating the tractor and implement near a public roadway, the tractor must be equipped with
proper warning lighting and a Slow Moving Vehicle (SMV) emblem which are clearly visible from the rear of

warning signals are obscured.
Maintain all manufacturer equipped safety shields and guards. Always replace shields and guards that were
removed for access to connect, service, or repair the tractor or implement. Never operate the tractor PTO
