Recovery, pushing
To recover a tractor that has sunk in mud use a tow bar or rope attached to the front hook
Never use chains! Rupture of the chain represents a danger of death!
During recovery it is dangerous to stand near the towing rope.

The front hook should be only use to recover the entire tractor, i.e. without any trailer or another
attached implement.
Never recover the tractor with reduced gears engaged.
When pushing other vehicles (trailers, implements, etc.) with the tractor never insert free wooden
blocks or bars between the tractor and the pushed vehicle.
