speed which does not allow
adequate control of steering and
stopping. Some rough t errains
require a slower speed.
▲ As a guideline, use the following
maximum speed weight ratios for
an attached implement:
20 mph when weight of attached
implement is less than or equal to
the weight of machine t owing the
implement.
10 m p h when weight of attached
implement exceeds weight of
machine tow ing implement but
not more than double the weight.
▲ IMPORT ANT: Do not tow a load
that is more than double the weight
of the machine towing the load.
T ransport
Machinery Safely
▲ Comply with state and local laws.
▲ Use towing v ehicle and trailer of

speed if trailer is not equipped with
brakes.
▲ Avoid contact w ith any over head
utility lines or electrically charged
conductors.
▲ Engage park brake when stopped
on an incline.
Practice Safe Maint enance
▲ Understand procedure befor e doing
work. Use proper tools and
equipment, refer to Operator’ s
Manual for additional information.
▲ Work in a clean dry area.
▲ Lower attached implement to the
ground, put tractor in park, turn off
engine, and remove k ey before
performing maintenance.
▲ Allow implement to cool befor e
working on it.
▲ Disconnect battery ground cable (-)
befor e servicing or adjusting
electrical systems or bef ore welding
on implement.
▲ Do not grease or oil implement
while it is in operation.
▲ Inspect all parts. Make certain
parts are in good condition &
