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 mower at speeds greater than
20 MPH.
Laminated Sectional Tires are designed for conditions where puncture proof performance is required and the
mower will not be transported for long distances on roadways. Transport speed for laminated tires should not
exceed 20 MPH. Excessive speed can cause damage to the machine and tire sections.
Foam Filled used Airplane Tires are ideal for conditions where a puncture proof tire is needed and the mower is
frequently transported between locations.
Before transporting the tractor, flexarm,and mower, idle
the tractor engine, disengage the PTO. Fully retract
the flex arm cylinder and ease the cutter out of the
ditch as the tractor continues forward. With the
implement on a level surface,and all moving parts are
at a complete stop raise the cutter into transport
position. Insert the transport pins in the cylinder guard
on the flex arm and in wings of cutter. Also when
transporting, only raise the center deck enough to clear
ground obstacles to prevent tipping, especially when
traveling through rough terrain.
If the tractor’s hydraulic pump is not independent of
the tractor PTO, or if the tractor PTO has to be run to
have hydraulic power, disconnect the mower driveline
from the tractor PTO output shaft. Secure the driveline
to the mower deck to prevent driveline damage or loss
during transport.
Pneumatic Tires (used airplane or implement tires) are ideal for frequent long distance towing, however, they are
not puncture proof and are not recommended for mowing brushy areas or other conditions that could damage the
tires. Maximum airplane tire inflation pressure is 50 PSI, minimum inflation pressure is 40 PSI. Inflate
ribbed implement tires to manufacturer rated PSI as shown on the tire sidewall. DO NOT over-inflate.
