CAUTIONS to avoid back overturning
IMPORTANT: The safe working practices listed hereunder
concerns only a few cases of overturning risk. The list is
therefore NOT comprehensive of all possible cases.
WARNING: Hitching to the rear axle, or any
other point above the swinging drawbar, can
cause a rear overturn.
•
DO NOT pull anything using the top link connection,
or from any point above the centre line of the rear
axle. Always use an approved drawbar, and only use
a drawbar pin that locks into place.
•
High hitching can cause rear overturn, which may
cause serious injury or death. Hitch loads to the
drawbar only.
•
Use front counterweights to increase tractor stability
when towing a heavy load or to counter balance a
heavy rear mounted implement (Fig.2-26).
•
DO NOT overload your tractor and DO NOT ballast
it beyond its capacity. Never add ballast to counter-
weight an overload. Reduce the load (Fig.2-27).
WARNING: Overload is ALWAYS dangerous.
Check the load capacity of your tractor and
NEVER exceed it (Fig.2-28). See the Technical
Specifications section.
