STEP 2
Use a rigid tow bar and safety chains to pull the
tractor. Attach the tow bar and safety chains to
the tractor side channels or the front support.
IMPORTANT: Due the complexity of the
transmission and pressure lubrication
requirements, special rules apply when the
tractor engine is running or not running. Use the
following procedures as applicable.
A. Engine NOT Running
IMPORTANT: When the engine is not running,
there is no power assistance to the steering. Use
extreme caution when towing with the engine
stopped.
The tractor can be towed a maximum of 20 km (12
miles) at a maximum speed of 10 km/h (6 mph) if
the tractor has been operating within the past 48
hours.
IMPORTANT: To prevent damage to the tractor,
follow the above procedures carefully when towing
the tractor.
B. Engine Running
● Do not pull the tractor faster than 20 km/h (12
mph).
● Disengage the mechanical front drive (MFD) (if
equipped).
● Disengage the differential lock.
● Put the transmission in NEUTRAL, as per
correct procedure quoted opposite.
NOTE: The engine must be running at 1200 rpm or
more. Check brake operation.
WARNING: Make sure that the weight of a trailed vehicle that is not
equipped with brakes NEVER EXCEEDS the weight of the tractor that is
towing the vehicle or any national weight limitations which may apply.
Stopping distance increases with increasing speed as the weight of the
towed load increases, especially on hills and slopes.
