Rules of the Road
WHEN operating your tractor on a public road a number
of precautions must be taken.
WARNING: DO NOT allow any passengers on
the tractor or towed equipment.
Know the route you are going to travel.
Use flashing lights or beacon when travelling on
roads, day or night, unless prohibited by law (Fig .26).
Use caution when towing a load at transport speeds
especially if the towed equipment is NOT equipped
with brakes.
Observe all local or national regulations regarding the
road speed of your tractor.
Use extreme caution when transporting on snow-
covered or slippery roads.
Wait for traffic to clear before entering a public road.
Beware of blind intersections. Slow down until you
have a clear view.
DO NOT attempt to pass at any intersection.
Slow down for turns and curves.
Make wide, gentle turns.
Signal your intent to slow, stop or turn.
Shift to a lower gear before going up or down hills.
Keep tractor in gear. DO NOT coast with the clutch
disengaged or transmission in neutral.
Stay out of the path of oncoming traffic.
Drive in your correct lane keeping as near to the kerb
as possible.
If traffic builds up behind you, pull off the road and let
it go by.
Drive defensively. Anticipate what other drivers might
do.
When towing a load, start braking sooner than normal
and slow down gradually.
Watch out for overhead obstructions.
Make sure that the load does not obscure warning or
any other lights.

When stopping at any time, bring the tractor to a
complete halt, apply the parking brake, disengage the
PTO, place all gear shift levers in neutral, lower the
