Load capacity
Compliance with total weight, axle pressure, carrying capacity of
the tyres, and minimum tractor load
Neither the tractor's total weight, axle pressure or the carrying capacity
of the tyres may be exceeded with front mounted and rear mounted
machines. To ensure the manoeuvrability of the tractor, the load on the
front axle must be at least 20% of the tractor's weight. Failure to do so
can result in a loss of driving control and accidents.
Weight/power ratio between machine and tractor
The machine may only be connected to a tractor with a proper size
and performance.
The tractor's size and P.T.O outlet must correspond to the power
consumption of the machine and its weight. Wrong weight/power ratio
can result in damage to both machine and tractor.
