Transport
Electrocution Hazard:
To prevent serious injury or death from electric shock, keep
clear of overhead power lines when transporting, folding,
unfolding or operating all air drill components. Machine is not
grounded. At higher voltages, electrocution can occur without
direct contact.
Great Plains recommends transporting the air cart
without seed loaded. Although designed for highway
movement with full hoppers, the additional weight of
seed may cause the implement assembly to exceed the
rated ability of the tractor, makes the assembly more
difficult to control and stop, and increases wear on cart
tires and wheel bearings.
Towing the drill at high speeds or with a vehicle that is not
heavy enough can lead to loss of vehicle control. Loss of
vehicle control can lead to serious road accidents, injury and
death. To reduce the hazard:
• Do not exceed 20 mph (32 km/h).
• Do not tow an assembly that, when fully loaded,
weighs more than 1.5 times the weight of the towing
vehicle.
In the following tables, the tractor must weight at least
2 ⁄
3 (67%) of the weights shown.
The tractor must also be rated for towing and braking
the total load shown.
Minimum Towing Vehicle
Refer to the tables below, or compute the weight of your
configuration from the “Specifications and Capacities”
information in each manual, plus any material data. Note: A loaded seed cart can easily cause the total
assembly weight to exceed 1.5 times the weight of
a fully ballasted tractor. Great Plains recommends
transport with the cart empty.
