OPERATION
12.3 Hauling the Tractor and Implement
Before transporting a loaded tractor and implement, measure the height and width dimensions and gross
weight of the complete loaded unit. Ensure that the load will be in compliance with the legal limits set for the
areas that will be traveled through
Use adequately sized and rated trailers and equipment to transport the tractor and implement. Consult an
authorized dealer to determine the proper equipment required. Using adequately sized chains, heavy duty
straps, cables and/or binders, securely tie down both the front and rear of the tractor utilizing the proper tie
down locations as specified by the tractor manufacturer.
Arrange the chains so that when tightened, the chains are pulling downward and against themselves.
Carefully tighten the securing chains or other fasteners using boomers or binders to apply maximum tension.
Use extreme care when attaching and removing the securing devices as the extreme tension involved when
released has the potential to inflict serious injury.
While hauling the tractor and implement, make occasional stops to check that the tractor and implement have
not moved or shifted and that the securing chains have maintained tension. If during transport a hard braking,
sharp turning, or swerving action was performed, stop at the next safe location to inspect the security of the
load.
