2. Operating the tractor on a road
WARNING
T
o avoid personal injury or death:
• To help assure straight line stops when driving
at transport speeds, lock the brake pedals
together. Uneven braking at road speeds could
cause the tractor to roll-over.
• When
traveling on the road with a 3-point hitch
mounted implement attached, be sure to have
sufficient front weight on the tractor to maintain
steering ability.
(See Front ballast on page 93, Rear ballast on
page 93.)
• Towed equipment (without brake) must not
exceed 1.5 times the tractor weight when
traveling on roads or at high speeds.
Be sure the SMV emblem and hazard lights are clean
and visible. If towed or rear-mounted equipment
obstructs these safety devices, install the SMV emblem
and hazard lights on the equipment.
If towed or rear-mounted agricultural equipment
obstructs these safety devices, do not travel on public
road.
Consult your local KUBOTA Dealer for further details.
