Before transporting a loaded tractor, flex arm, and mower, 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, flex arm, and mower. 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 used as much as possible 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, flex arm, and mower, make occasional stops to check that the tractor, flex arm and
mower 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.
