The tractor must be matched to the weight of the disc
harrow. A minimum of 20% of the combined tractor
and equipment weight should be on the front wheels.
This will ensure adequate stability during transport and
operation.
Always review the “controls” section of the tractor
Operator’s Manual to be familiar with the location,
settings, and function of the tractor controls. Be
familiar with all controls before using this equipment.
5.2.1 Tractor Safety Devices
If transporting or operating the tractor and implement
near a public roadway, the tractor must be equipped
with proper warning lighting and a Slow Moving Vehicle
(SMV) emblem, which are clearly visible from the
rear of the unit. Lights and a SMV emblem must be
attached directly to the implement if the visibility of the
tractor warning signals are obscured.
Never operate the tractor PTO with the PTO master
shield missing or in the raised position.
5.2.2 ROPS and Seat Belt
WARNING
Rollover Hazard
To avoid serious injury or death from
falling off tractor, equipment runover,
rollover, or crushing:
1) Use ROPS equipped tractor.
2) Keep ROPS locked in the UP position.
3) Only operate the equipment when seated in the
tractor seat.
4) Always fasten seat belt when operating the tractor
and disc harrow.
The tractor must be equipped with a Roll Over
Protective Structure (ROPS) (tractor cab or roll-bar)
and seat belt to protect the operator from falling off the
tractor, especially during a roll-over where the driver
could be crushed and killed. Only operate the tractor
with the ROPS in the raised position and seat belt
fastened.
