Speed
• The processor features implement tires and hubs and is not suitable for high speed travel
• The processor does not have brakes.
• Slow down for rough conditions, turns, and steep declines.
• If towing long distances, ensure the machine is empty (no bales in tub or on fork)
• If hauling one bale only, place it in the tub instead of on the fork.
• If hauling two or more bales, speed should be further reduced. Note that there will be a
significant amount of weight behind the processor axle, causing more “tail whip”. This
also raises the center of weight of the machine.
• Failure to heed these warning may result in loss of control or death.
