- Engine speed between 1,200 - 1,300 rpm.
- Maximum towing speed 8 km/h
- Maximum towing distance 1 km
To tow the tractor, use only the standard tow bar attached to the front towing hitch approved by the
manufacturer. Make sure to use the correct pin for the towing hitch and that it is secured with a cotter pin.
Clean all front and rear lights required for road towing and make sure they are in working order
Before starting towing, check the following:
- Disconnect all implements from the tractor
- Connect together the two brake pedals
- Switch off PTO and differential lock
- Set the main gear shift and reverse lever to neutral
- Move the range shift lever to the 'fast' position
- Move the creep speed lever to neutral
- Put on the SMV (Slow Vehicle) sign and turn on the beacon light and hazard warning lights.
WARNING: Turn on the warning lights and the beacon light. Attach suitable notice sign that
the tractor is being towed. Check and comply with the applicable national legislation. Comply with
the local safety regulations.
When driving on the road, observe the following:
Wait for traffic to thin down before entering the road. Be very careful at intersections without traffic

control.
Slow down to have a clear view in both directions.

Keep the vehicle in your lane and drive as close as possible to the right side of the road. If there are

vehicles behind you, pull into a lay-by as soon as possible to allow the vehicles to pass.
Apply the parking brake when the tractor is stopped (at any circumstances).

The driving speed must always be such as to allow complete control of the vehicle or the unit and

breakage can cause serious injury.
