7. Transport
IMPORTANT! Equipment that is transported on a public
roadway must comply with the local laws that govern the
safety and transport of machinery.
Before taking the machine on a public roadway, make sure
that it has the necessary markings, and that they are in
good, working condition.
For specific requirements, contact your local transportation
authority.
7.1 Transport Safety
• Make sure that the machine is safely attached to the tractor
with hitch pins through the hitch points and the linchpins
installed.
• Never let people ride on the machine.
• Do not exceed a safe travel speed. Decrease your speed for
rough terrain and around corners.
• Plan your route to avoid heavy traffic.
• Remove all debris from the machine.
• When the machine is ready for transport, do a circle check
to make sure that everything is safe.
7.2 Attach to a Tractor
WARNING!
Never let anyone stand between the tractor and
the implement during hitching. Too fast of an
approach or the operator’s foot slipping from the
clutch can lead to injury or fatality to the person
standing nearby.
W048
IMPORTANT! For safety and to maximize the PTO life, the
PTO shaft should be as level as possible when the machine
is in the lowered, working position.
FX-R and FX-RS models have a remote control.
1–2 gpm of hydraulic flow and a 12 VDC electrical
power source are necessary.
Before you attach the machine to a tractor, make
sure that the PTO shaft length is correct.
For instructions, see Size a PTO Shaft on page 38.
All of the machine models are three-point hitch mount. The
machines are not quick hitch or iMatch™ compatible.
For information about the three-point hitch category of each FX
Series model, see the Machine Specifications on page 52.
