Allowable Loads When Towing with the
Tractor
Always comply with the recommended maximum
road speeds or local speed limits:
●
When towing equipment, travel at a speed of less
than 9.3 mph (15 km/h).
●
Make sure the tractor has the capability to tow the
equipment and loads. For details, see "Chapter 4.
IMPLEMENT CAPACITIES".
1. Hitch the load to the drawbar.
2. Lock the drawbar and pin in place.
3. Attach a safety chain between the tractor drawbar
support and the load.
(A) Intermediate support
(B) Towed implement attachment point
4. Always allow enough slack in the safety chain to
enable turning.
●
When towing, the distance required to stop
the tractor proportionally increases with the:
• tractor speed
• weight of the load being towed
• angle of a slope
●
Towing loads too heavy for the tractor:
• can result in loss of control of the tractor
• regardless of whether the load itself has
brakes or not
●
Towing at excessively high speed can result
in loss of control of the tractor.
●
Before towing, always ensure that the tractor
has the capability to handle the total weight
of all equipment and loads.
●
Make sure the tractor is heavy and powerful
enough for the load being towed.
●
Make sure the tractor has sufficient braking
power for the load being towed.
●
If the load exceeds the recommended weight
ratio:
• add weight to the tractor
• lighten the load
• get a heavier tractor
●
Exercise caution when towing loads:
• on difficult surface
• when turning
• on a slope
! WARNING
! CAUTION
Avoid injury!
●
If the towed equipment is not equipped with
brakes:
• travel slower than 9.3 mph (15 km/h)
• tow loads weighing less than 1.5 times the
tractor weight
●
Even if the towed equipment is equipped with
brakes:
• travel slower than 18.6 mph (30 km/h)
• tow loads weighing less than 4.5 times the
tractor weight
NOTE
●
Always use the drawbar to tow a load.
●
Do not under any circumstances attach a load to
the axle housing or any other location besides
the drawbar.
NOTE
●
On a slope:
• make sure the gear is low enough to allow the
operator to control the speed of the tractor
without having to use the brake pedals
