• Do not make sharp turns at high speed.
1.6.8 Implements and additional equipment
WARNING:
The front loader (bucket or forks) must be equipped with an appropriate restriction device
to prevent the load (bales, fence posts, wires etc.) from falling from the lift arms. If the
load falls on the operator's compartment, it can crush the driver. Objects that are poorly
fixed can also fall and injure bystanders. Make sure that the loader has this equipment.
CAUTION:
When the tractor is coupled to front loaders or blades, it may only be used for material
movement activities. Any other activity, especially excavations, places the integrity of the
equipment at risk, potentially leaving it inoperative. Never use the tractor coupled to front
chargers or blades for any other activity than movement of loose materials. The load
should be applied to the center of the bucket or blade; furthermore, there should be no
strain when the steering is turned to the right or left
• Implements mounted on 3-point linkage and side implements make a much higher arc when the towed
equipment is operated. Always maintain enough clearance for maneuvers. Use equipment that is
approved by MASSEY FERGUSON only.
• When using accessories or implements with the tractor, carefully read the Maintenance Guide for the
respective attachment or implement and follow the safety instructions. Use equipment that is approved
by MASSEY FERGUSON only.
• Do not overload the towed accessory or equipment. Use suitable counterweights to ensure the stability
of the tractor. Attach loads to the drawbar only.
• When the tractor is equipped with implements and/or accessories, in addition to adhering to the tractor
and implement and/or accessory manuals, the restrictions of tractor use when attaching certain
implements and/or accessories must also be observed.
• A safety chain will help you to control towed equipment in the event that it accidentally detaches from
the drawbar during transport. Using appropriate adapters, hitch the chain to the tractor drawbar support
or another specific location for this purpose. Leave only a small gap in the safety chain for maneuvers.
Use a MASSEY FERGUSON safety chain with strength equal to or greater than the gross weight of the
towed machine.
• Make sure that the towed parts are installed with a safety chain connecting the tractor to the tool, if
required by law.
• Only transport the implement using the
drawbar. Towing through hitching to other
locations may cause the tractor to roll over.
