11.2 Hauling the Tractor and Mower
Before transporting a loaded tractor 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.
Make sure that all tractor flashing warning lights, headlights, and brake/taillights are functioning properly before
proceeding onto public roads. While newer model tractors have lighting to provide warning signals and operating
lighting, most older models where only equipped with operating lights. Consult an authorized tractor dealer for
lighting kits and modifications available to upgrade the lighting on older tractor models.
When operating on public roads, have consideration for other road users. Pull to the side of the road occasionally
to allow all following traffic to pass. Do not exceed the legal speed limit set in your country for agricultural tractors.
Always stay alert when transporting the tractor and mower on public roads. Especially in busy cities, the boom
extends to right farther then the tractors width, so be careful there are no bystanders, poles,large obstructions or
any vehicles that may be in path of the mower head on boom. Use caution and reduce speed if other vehicles or
pedestrians are in the area.
Reduce speed before turning or applying the brakes.
Ensure that both brake pedals are locked together when
operating on public roads.
DANGER!
When transporting Boom Mower on a truck or trailer, the height or width
may exceed legal limits when the boom is in the transport position.
Contact with side or overhead structures or power lines can cause
property damage or serious injury or death. If necessary lower boom to
reduce height and/or remove mowing head to reduce width to the legal
limits. (SBM-8)
