18.3 Hauling the Tractor and Implement
Before transporting a loaded tractor and implement,
measure the height and width dimensions and
gross weight of the complete loaded unit. Ensure
that the load will be in compliance with the legal
limits set for the areas that will be traveled through.
OPS-U- 0024_TK
Use adequately sized and rated trailers and
equipment to transport the tractor and implement.
Consult an authorized dealer to determine the
proper equipment required. Using adequately sized
chains, heavy duty straps, cables and/or binders,
securely tie down both the front and rear of the
tractor utilizing the proper tie down locations as
specified by the tractor manufacturer. OPS-U- 0025
Arrange the chains so that when tightened, the
chains
are
pulling
downward
themselves. Carefully tighten the securing chains
or other fasteners using boomers or binders to
apply maximum tension. Use extreme care when
attaching and removing the securing devices as
the extreme tension involved when released has
the potential to inflict serious injury.
While hauling the tractor and implement, make
occasional stops to check that the tractor and
implement have not moved or shifted and that the
securing chains have maintained tension. If during
transport a hard braking, sharp turning, or
swerving action was performed, stop at the next
safe location to inspect the security of the load.
NOTE: Always transport per your State and Federal law regulations for tie down requirements.
