OPERATING TECHNIQUES

1. Operating the tractor on a road

WARNING
To avoid personal injury or death:
• To help assure straight line stops when driving
at transport speeds, lock the brake pedals
together. Uneven braking at road speeds could
cause the tractor to roll-over.
• When travelling on road with 3-point hitch
mounted implement attached, be sure to have
sufficient front weight on the tractor to maintain
steering ability.
• When travelling on road with or without trailer,
you must comply with local regulations at all
time.
The maximum travelling speed with trailer is
determined by each country, and regulated
speeds may vary according to the size of trailer
and type of trailer brake system.
Observe all local traffic and safety regulations.
Use the registration plate.

over backward. Stay off hills and slopes too
steep for safe operation.
