Towing equipment

DANGER:
For towing, use the lower hitch or drawbar for 3-point hitch, which is adjusted to the height of

the lower hitch. In order to keep the operation safe and to maintain the traction capability, it is
essential that the front axle is not lifted.
Incorrect 3-point hitch height adjustment or incorrect mounting can cause machine damage,

serious injury or death.
Warning: All implements attached to the tractor must be secured safely and in accordance
with the manufacturer's instructions; see the mounting holes diagram. Use only approved
implements.
Warning: The front towing hitch should only be used for towing a trailer in an emergency or
towing the tractor to the yard or an authorized service center.
Warning: Never tow semi-mounted work equipment, trailers or agricultural machinery by
attaching them to the upper link of the three-point hitch. This could cause the front axle to become
light or get lifted - the machine rolling over to the back and causing serious injury.
Warning: When towing, always secure the hitch pin with a suitable locking pin with safety ring
to prevent the hitch pin from sliding out of the hitch. The locking pin must always be secured in the
hitch.
Warning: Maximum permissible hitch load (horizontal and vertical), maximum permissible
hitch height for roads. The utilization and maximum towing load are specified in the tractor
registration document.
Warning: Do not allow anyone to ride on the drawbar or on the lower links.
