Implements and attachments
WARNING: A front-end loader (bucket
or forks) must be equipped with a
suitable restraining device to prevent
the load (bales, fence posts, rolls of
fence, wire etc.) from rolling down the
lift arms into the operator's compartment and
crushing the driver when the loader is raised.
Inadequately secured objects could also fall and
injure bystanders.
*Three-point hitch and side mounted implements
make a much larger arc when turning than towed
equipment. Make certain to allow sufficient
clearance for turning. Use only Massey Ferguson
approved attachments and implements.
*When using attachments or im plements with the
tractor, be sure to thoroughly read the Operator
Instruction Book for that attachment or implement
and follow its safety instructions.
*DO NOT overload an attachment or towed
equipment. Use proper counter -weights to maintain
tractor stability. Hitch loads to the drawbar only.
*A safety chain will help control drawn equipment
should it be accidentally separated from the drawbar
while transporting. Using the appropriate adaptor
parts, attach the chain to the tractor drawbar support
or other specified anchor location. Provide only
enough slack in the chain to permit turning. See
your Massey Ferguson Dealer for a chain with a
strength rating equal to, or greater than the gross
weight of the towed machine (Fig. 20).
*Make sure any towed implements are equipped
with a safety chain linking tractor and implement.
*Pull only from the approved drawbar. Towing or
attaching to other locations may cause the tractor
to overturn (Fig. 21).
Safety - towing
*For towed equipment WITHOUT brakes, DO NOT
tow equipment: at speeds over 32 km/h(20miles/hour),
that, when fully loaded, weighs more than 1.5 times
the weight of the towing unit.
*For towed equipment WITH brakes, DO NOT tow
equipment: at speeds over 40 km/h (25 miles/hour),
that, when fully loaded, weighs more than 4.5 times
the weight of the towing unit.
NOTE: Tractor requires correct trailer braking
equipment be installed and connected to the
equipment. Stopping distance increases with speed
and weight of towed loads, and on hills and sl opes.
Towed loads with or without brakes that are too heavy
for the tractor or aretowed too fast can cause loss of
control. Consider the total weight of the equipment
and its load.
Road transport
BEFORE operating your tractor on a public road, a
number of precautions must be taken.
*Familiarize yourself with - and obey - all laws
appropriate to your tractor.
*Lock your brake pedals together.
*Raise all implements to their transport position
and
lock them in place.
*Place all implements into their narrowest transport
configuration.
*Disengage the PTO and differential lock.
*Make sure any required clearance flags or hazard
lights are in place and in working order.
*Make sure you use a proper hitch pin with a clip
retainer.
*Clean all reflectors and road lights, front and rear,
and be certain they are in working order.
