Transporting
Caution
Caution: When traveling on public roads whether at
night or during the day, use accessory lights and
devices for adequate warning to operators of other
vehicles. Comply with all federal, state and local laws.
• Do not transport with a full hopper of seed, the hopper should be as empty as possible to avoid extra weight
during transport.
• Select a safe ground travel speed when transporting from one area to another. To avoid tire failure, never
exceed maximum speed of 25 mph. When traveling on roadways, transport in such a way that faster
moving vehicles may pass you safely.
• When transporting a pull-type drill, insert transport locks on cylinders and lower drill to the stops before
unhooking hydraulic hoses.
• Reduce tractor ground speed when turning. Leave enough clearance so the seeder does not contact
obstacles such as buildings, trees or fences.
• When traveling over rough or hilly terrain, shift tractor to lower gear.
