TOW LOADS SAFETY
Stopping distance increases with speed and load
hauled and on slopes. Loads with or without brakes,
too heavy for the tractor or towed too fast can cause
loss of control. Consider the total weight of the
equipment and its load.
Observe these recommended maximum road
speeds, or local speed limits which may be lower.
• If towed equipment does not have brakes, do not
travel more than 32 km/h (20 mph) and do not tow
loads more than 1.5 times the tractor weight.
• If towed equipment has brakes, do not travel more
than 40 km/h (25 mph) and do not tow loads more
than 4.5 times the tractor weight.
Ensure the load does not exceed the recommended
weight ratio. Add ballast to recommended maximum
for tractor, lighten the load, or get a heavier towing
unit. The tractor must be heavy and powerful
enough with adequate braking power for the towed
load. Use additional caution when towing loads
under adverse surface conditions, when turning,
and on inclines.
SAFETY IN THE REAR BLADE
ATENTION: Improper use of the rear blade can
cause serious injury.
1. Before transporting check all pins and screws are
placed correctly.
2. Drive slowly through entrances and gates.
3. Reduce speed when turning tractor.
4. Avoid working on holes, trenches or other uneven
terrain.
5. Always park the tractor on flat and uniform land.
