Transport
Loss of Control Hazard:
Ensure that the towing vehicle is adequate for the task. Using
an inadequate tow vehicle is extremely unsafe, and can result
in loss of control, serious injury and death.
The planter can weigh over 15 000 kg (33,500 pounds),
depending on configuration and material load. The tractor
unit MUST be rated for the load. If the tractor is not rated for
at least 15 000 kg, calculate or obtain a scale weight of the
planter.
Do not tow if planter exceeds the load rating of the vehicle.
Braking and Loss of Control Hazard:
Do not exceed 20 mph (32 kph).
Reduction of Control Risk:
Material loaded prior to travel increases stopping distance,
and increases the need for caution in turns and braking.
