Transport by Truck or Rail
When you transport the tractor by truck or rail
specific rules or laws will be applicable depending
in which country you are in. Make sure you are
familiar with these rules or laws before transporting
the tractor.
STEP 1
Make sure the transmission is in the NEUTRAL
position, as per correct procedure quoted on
previous page.
STEP 2
Engage the PARK brake.
STEP 3
MH06B078C
Secure the tractor. Tie the tractor down around the
front and rear axles with safety chains having a
rating greater than the gross load of the tractor
(refer to tractor P.l.N. plate).
IMPORTANT: DO NOT tie chains around the front
ballast weight support bracket to hold the tractor
down.
STEP 4
MR01J031
If equipped with front tie down brackets (as shown
above) tie the front of the tractor down putting the
safety chains through the loop of each bracket
rather than using the front axle.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT use the tie down brackets
(if equipped) to lift or pull the tractor. The tie
down brackets are only to be used to secure the
tractor to the trailer.
STEP 5
Install blocks/wedges to prevent the wheels rolling.
WARNING: The tractor can slip and fall from a trailer or ramp and cause
serious injury or death. Make sure the trailer or ramp is not slippery.
Remove all oil, grease, mud, ice etc. When moving the tractor take extra
care, be vigilant, make sure the tractor is in the centre of the trailer and
does not over hang.
