When towing a tractor, follow these rules:
1. Never pull the tractor faster than a ground speed of 16 Km/h (10
MPH).
2. Ma
ke sure all controls are in the neutral or OFF position.
3. Because of a possible loss of steering and brakes when the tractor
engine is not running, use only a rigid towing bar and safety chains to
p
ull the tractor.
TOWING
Make sure that the weight of a trailed vehicle that is not equipped
with brakes, NEVER EXCEEDS the weight of the machine that is
towing the vehicle. Stopping distance increases with increasing
speed as the weight of the towed load increases, especially on hills
and slopes.
When you transport the tractor by truck or rail, follow these rules:
1. Hold the tractor with tie downs and block the wheels.
2. Hydrostatic Drive: Move the Speed Lock lever to OFF position and
put the range shift lever in the L position.
3. Lock the brake pedals together, push the brake pedals down and
move the park brake lever up to engage the park brake.
