this manual.
Transport
Machinery Safely
Comply with state and local laws.
Maximum transport speed for
implement is 20 mph. DO NOT
EXCEED. Never travel at a speed
which does not allow adequate
control of steering and stopping.
Some rough terrains require a
slower speed.
Sudden breaking can cause a
towed load to swerve and upset.
Reduce speed if towed load is not
equipped with breaks.
Use the following maximum
speed - tow load weight ratios as
a guideline:
20 mph when weight is less than
or equal to the weight of tractor.
10 mph when weight is double
the weight of tractor.
IMPORTANT: Do not tow a load
that is more than double the
weight of tractor.

Lights and Devices
Slow moving tractors, self-
propelled equipment, and towed
implements can create a hazard
when driven on public roads. They
are difficult to see, especially at
night.
Flashing warning lights and turn
signals are recommended
whenever driving on public roads.

doing work. Use proper tools and
equipment, refer to Operator’s

debris.

extended or flipped around to
obtain sufficient clearance.
