BOperating the Tractor on a Road
To avoid personal injury or death:
A To help assure straight line stops when driving
at transport speeds, lock the brake pedals
together. Uneven braking at road speeds could
cause the tractor to roll-over.
A When traveling on road with 3-point hitch
mounted implement attached, be sure to have
sufficient front weight on the tractor to
maintain steering ability.
A When traveling on road with trailer, you must
comply with local regulation at all time.
The maximum traveling speed with trailer is
provided by each country and regulated speed
may be different depend on the size of trailer
and type of trailer brake system.
Be sure SMV emblem and warning lamps are clean and
visible. If towed or rear-mounted equipment obstructs
these safety devices, install SMV emblem and warning
lamps on equipment.
Consult your local KUBOTA Dealer for further details.
