Transport Machinery Safely
Maximum transport speed for implement is 20
mph. Some rough terrains require a slower
speed. Sudden braking can cause a towed load
to swerve and upset.
• Do not exceed 20 mph. Never travel at a
speed which does not allow adequate
control of steering and stopping. Reduce
speed if towed load is not equipped with
brakes.
• Comply with state and local laws.
• Do not tow an implement that, when fully
loaded, weighs more than 1.5 times the
weight of towing vehicle.
• Carry reflectors or flags to mark tractor and
implement in case of breakdown on the
road.
• Keep clear of overhead power lines and
other obstructions when transporting. Refer
to transport dimensions under
“Specifications and Capacities,” page 103.
• Do not fold or unfold the wings while the
tractor is moving.
Avoid High Pressure Fluids
Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate the
skin, causing serious injury.
• Avoid the hazard by relieving pressure
before disconnecting hydraulic lines.
• Use a piece of paper or cardboard, NOT
BODY PARTS, to check for suspected
leaks.
• Wear protective gloves and safety glasses
or goggles when working with hydraulic
systems.
• If an accident occurs, see a doctor immediately. Any fluid injected into the skin must be
surgically removed within a few hours or
gangrene may result.
