Tiller CS
5.3 CHECK THE STABILITY OF THE TRACTOR-TILLER
COMPLEX.
Tiller weight changes the stability of the tractor-Tiller complex, inuencing steering
and braking capability. Therefore proceed at a moderate speed. In particular, it
should be noted that the front axle must always be carrying a load of at least 20%
of the weight of the tractor-Tiller unit.
Check the lifting capacity and stability of the tractor using the following formula
and, if necessary, before applying the front weights.
M x (S1+S2) ≤ 0.2 T x i+Z x (d+i)
M ≤ 0.3T
i
= = wheelbase
d
= distance between the front axis and the ballasts
S1
=
distance between centre of the rear axle and centre of the lower
connection points
S2
=
distance between the centre of the lower hitch points and the
barycentre of the tiller
T
= weight of the tractor + 75Kg (operator)
Z
= mass of the ballast
M
= the mass of the machine
5.4 ROAD TRANSPORT
Articles 61 and 104 of the Highway Code of the Italian State prescribe that the
maximum width of vehicles on roads is 2.55 metres. As a consequence, all
measurements of the CS available are authorised for road transport, in compliance
with the other prescriptions of the Highway Code.
If the Country of reference is not Italy, follow the Highway Code Standards of the
country of use.
