2.3 Safe Operation in Rough Terrain
2.3.1. Drive the tractor slowwly on
hillsides and curves to eliminate the
danger of tipping. Avoid slopes which
are too steep for safe operation. Avoid
sharp uphill turns.
2.3.2. Always drive slowly over rough
ground or obstructions. Drive at speeds
slow enough to ensure your safety.
2.3.3. When driving out of a ditch, gully,
or up a steep hillside, engage the clutch
slowly. Avoid sharp uphill turns.
2.3.4. When descending steep grades,
select a sufficiently low gear to maintain
control with minimum braking.
2.3.5. Use caution when driving near the

2.3.6. Be especially alert when operating
near trees, slopes, and around
obstructions.

tight, and lines and hoses undamaged.
Before disconnecting heater or air

2.4.2. Remove mud, crop residue, chains,
and tools from steps and operator's
platform. They may interfere with pedal
operation or entry/exit from tractor.

2.5.6. Use extreme caution when pulling
heavy loads at road speeds. Avoid hard
