3.2 Tractor Horsepower
The power required to operate a implement is determined by the tractor PTO horsepower. For most operating
conditions, the Bale Spear requires a tractor with at least 25hp. Operating the implement with a tractor that
does not have adequate power may damage the tractor engine. Exceeding the recommended horsepower
may cause damage by overpowering the unit in heavy operating conditions.
3.3 Front End Weight
A minimum of 20% total tractor weight must be maintained on the tractor front end at all times. Front end
weight is critical to maintain steering control and to prevent the tractor from rearing up while driving. If the
front end is too light, add weight until a minimum of 20% total weight is reached on the front tires. Front
weights and weight carriers can be purchased through an authorized tractor dealership. OPS-U-0005
4. GETTING ON AND OFF THE TRACTOR
Before getting onto the tractor, the operator must read and completely understand the implement and tractor
operator manuals. If any part of either manual is not completely understood, consult an authorized dealer for
a complete explanation. OPS-U-0007
Do not mount or dismount the Tractor while the tractor is moving. Mount
the Tractor only when the Tractor and all moving parts are completely
stopped.
4.1 Boarding the Tractor
Use both hands and equipped handrails and steps for support when boarding the tractor. Never use control
levers for support when mounting the tractor. Seat yourself in the operator's seat and secure the seat belt
around you.
Never allow passengers to ride on the tractor or attached equipment. Riders can easily fall off and be seriously
injured or killed from falling off and being ran over. It is the operator's responsibility to forbid all extra riders at
all times. OPS-U- 0008
Never allow children to operate, ride on, or come close to the Tractor or
Implement.
responsible can operate the implement with adult supervision, if they
have read and understand the Operator's Manuals, been trained in
proper operation of the tractor and Implement, and are physically large
enough to reach and operate the controls easily.
Never allow children or other persons to ride on the Tractor or Implement.
Falling off can result in serious injury or death.
