Header Wagon Capacity

The CHCF series wagon Gross Vehicle Weight Rating is determined by two factors:
the chassis assembly maximum gross capacity
and the gross capacity of the four tires.
It is the lesser of the two that determines the GVWR of the unit.
The CHCF series wagons are available with up to 4 tire options, and the GVWR will change depending on the tire
option selected.
If replacing tires on the wagon, ensure you replace them with tires of similar capacity. Lower capacity tires will lower
GVWR, higher weight capacity tires
do not increase GVWR above the
maximum chassis rating.
Note:
CHCF GVWR: 7,031 kg (15,500 lbs
To calculate the maximum weight
the wagon can carry: chassis
weight + tire weight + the payload =
GVWR.

Four Wheel Steer

The CHCF series wagon feature four wheel steer. This makes
the wagon very manoeuvrable, and able to get into a narrow field
entrance more easily. The wagon tracks right behind the tow vehicle,
eliminating having to make wide turns to avoid cutting corners.
As the front wheels turn to follow the tongue the rear wheels turn
in the opposite direction, the result is that the rear end tracks right
along with the front wheels.
Backing a four wheel steer wagon may require some practice to
master! The concept is similar to backing a two wheel steer but two
points to bear in mind:
as soon as you begin to turn the wagon, the back end will
immediately begin turning.
the rear wheels always turn in the direction of the tongue: if the
tongue goes to the right the rear of the wagon goes to the right.
The result is that you may find that you'll tend to over steer at first.
Practice is the best solution.

WARNING
!
Operational Hazard
Be aware of potential collision
when parked directly beside
a building or object: starting
off on an angle, the back end
of the trailer will begin turning
as soon as you pull away,
causing a collision.
To avoid collision, start off
straight then begin your turn.
Proceed slowly to ensure that
the wagon will clear buildings
or objects as you pull away.
