do not tow loads more than 1.5 times the
tractor weight.
Ensure the load does not exceed the
recommended weight ratio. Add ballast to the
recommended maximum for the 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.
Avoid Overhead Power Lines
WARNING: Keep away from overhead
power lines. Serious injury or death
may result.
Proceed cautiously under overhead power
lines and around utility poles. Know the
transport height of your machine.
Electrocution can occur without direct
contact with overhead electrical lines.
Prepare for Transport
CAUTION: Avoid serious injury or
death to your or others.
Never tow the machine behind a truck or
other motor vehicle. This machine is
designed only to be towed with a properly
sized and ballasted tractor.
Use a tractor large enough to maintain
control. Properly ballast tractor for towing
your machine. Refer to tractor Operator’s
Manual and this Manual to ensure that
machine can be safely transported with your
tractor.
Be aware of height and width restrictions to
avoid a collision with overpasses or other
road users.
Always fold wings fully. If wing fold cylinders
are removed, chain wings together to
prevent accidental lowering. Fully raise
frame, close hydraulic lock-up valve (if
equipped) and install Transport/Service locks
before transporting. Latch the tractor brakes
together.
Attach a properly sized safety chain for the
load being towed. Refer to Use a Safety
Chain.
IMPORTANT: Do not transport on a
roadway unless the machine is
equipped with proper functioning
lights and reflective markings or
emblems.
Ensure that the lights and reflective markings
or emblems are clean and visible. Contact
your Fast Ag Solutions dealer for lights and
lighting harnesses.
Always follow local and national regulations
for equipment size, lighting and marking
before driving on public roadways. You are
responsible for understanding and complying
with all requirements regarding roadway
transport. Refer to Use Safety Lights and
Devices.
