Traffic regulations
As soon as the fitted mulcher ventures onto the public roads it must comply with the relevant
national highway code, and traffic and transport regulations. (including lighting and warning sign if
prescribed).
Even tractors with a fitted mulcher, which do not enter a public road, are still subject to regulations
regarding weights and axle loads.
Note: If the mulcher is mounted on the rear, the front axle might be underloaded and
require an additional front weight to be fitted.
Attach weights at the front if necessary !
Please adhere to maximum speeds, maximum weights and permissible axle
loads and never exceed them.
Please bear in mind that the mulcher and counterweights will have a major influence on the
handling, stability, steering and braking performance of the tractor, and adjust your driving
behaviour accordingly. Be careful when turning corners and taking bends.
Side mulchers develop very considerable leverage. So that the left side of the tractor (or with left-
hand models the right side of the tractor) can suffer a substantial reduction in load, especially when
taking bends. Drive considerately and always put the machine into the proper transport position
each time you finish work!
Note: When transporting the mulcher always ensure that the tractor’s tail lights are
not obscured, the mulcher is in the middle or vertical transport position and the
transport lock is activated.
Fit all prescribed warning plates and additional lights.
Only drive in the proper transport
position when transporting.
