Transport
Loss of Control Hazard:
Do not transport with insufficient ballast or with an
inadequate tractor.
Check that your tractor has enough ballast for the weight of
the drill. A tractor with insufficient ballast has insufficient
traction at the front wheels, causing loss of control, leading to
a serious road accident, injury or death. Refer to your tractor
operator manual for ballast requirements.
Check that tractor is rated for the fully-ballasted load. An
inadequate tractor may be damaged by over-loading. It is also
at risk for loss of control in turns and braking, leading to a
serious road accident, injury or death.
The planter can weigh nearly 7000 kg, depending on
configuration and material load. The tractor MUST be
rated and ballasted for the load. Do not tow if planter
exceeds the load rating of the vehicle. See chart at right
for typical configuration weights.
Braking and Loss of Control Hazard:
Do not exceed 32 kph.
Reduction of Control Risk:
Seed and fertilizer may be loaded prior to travel, but increase
stopping distance, increase the need for caution in turns and
braking, and increase tire wear.
