Transport Machinery Safely
Maximum transport speed for Disk Harrow is 20 mph
(32 kph). Some rough terrains require a slower speed.
Sudden braking can cause a towed load to swerve and
upset.
▲ Do not exceed 20 mph (32 km/h). Never travel at a speed
which does not allow adequate control of steering and
stopping. Reduce speed if towed load is not equipped with
brakes.
▲ Comply with state and local laws.
▲ Do not tow a Disk Harrow unless the towing vehicle is rated
for, and ballasted for, the weight of the Disk Harrow.
▲ Carry reflectors or flags to mark Disk Harrow in case of
breakdown on the road.
▲ Do not fold or unfold the Disk Harrow while the tractor is
moving.
Check for Overhead Lines
The Disk Harrow requires at least 14 feet (4.3 m) for
Models 7329 & 7333 and 15 feet (4.6m) for Models 7336
of vertical clearance in transport. Contacting overhead
electrical lines can introduce lethal voltage levels on Disk
Harrow and tractor frames. A person touching almost any
metal part can complete the circuit to ground, resulting in
serious injury or death. At higher voltages, electrocution
can occur without direct line or body contact.
▲ Avoid overhead lines during folding, unfolding, transport
and parking.
Shutdown and Storage
▲ Lower Disk Harrow, put tractor in park, turn off engine,
and remove the key.
▲ Secure Disk Harrow using blocks and supports provided.
▲ Detach and store Disk Harrow in an area where children
normally do not play.
