which does not allow adequate
control of steering and stopping.
Some rough terrains require a
slower speed.
▲ Sudden breaking can cause a
towed load to swerve and upset.
Reduce speed if towed load is not
equipped with breaks.
▲ Use the following maximum
speed - tow load weight ratios as
a guideline:
▲ 20 mph when weight is less than
or equal to the weight of tractor.
▲ 10 mph when weight is double
the weight of tractor.
▲ IMPORTANT: Do not tow a load
that is more than double the
weight of tractor.
Use A Safety Chain
▲ A safety chain will help control
drawn machinery should it
separate from the tractor
drawbar.
▲ Use a chain with the strength
rating equal to or greater than
the gross weight of the towed
machinery.
▲ Attach the chain to the tractor
drawbar support or other
specified anchor location. Allow
only enough slack in the chain to
permit turning.
▲ Do not use safety chain for
towing.
Practice Safe Maintenance
▲ Understand procedure before
doing work. Use proper tools and
equipment, refer to Operator’s
Manual for additional information.
▲ Work in a clean dry area.
▲ Lower the implement to the
ground, put tractor in park, turn off
engine, and remove key before
performing maintenance.
▲ Allow implement to cool
completely.
▲ Do not grease or oil implement
while it is in operation.
