OPERATION

13. TRANSPORTING THE TRACTOR AND IMPLEMENT

Inherent hazards of operating the tractor and implement and the possibility of accidents are not left behind
when you finish working in an area. Therefore, the operator must employ good judgment and safe operation
practices when transporting the tractor and implement between locations. By using good judgment and
following safe transport procedures, the possibility of accidents while moving between locations can be
substantially minimized. OPS-U- 0017str
Before transporting the tractor and implement, idle
the tractor engine, disengage the PTO and wait for
all moving parts to come to a complete stop. Once
all implement parts are completely stopped, raise
the implement to transport height. OPS-RK-0011
str
Before transporting the tractor on a public roadway
or boarding a trailer for transport, the tractor brake
pedals should be locked together. Locking the
pedals ensures that both wheels brake
simultaneously while stopping, especially when
making an emergency stop.
Use extreme caution and avoid hard applications
of the tractor brakes when towing heavy loads at
road speeds. Never tow the implement at speeds
greater than 20 MPH (32 kph).
