Tractor Requirements
The figures in the table below represent a limited number
of configurations. The weight of your air drill can vary by
thousands of pounds, even if it is the same base model,
due to installed options and/or aftermarket equipment.
If your tractor weight or capability is near its limits, take
your empty air drill to a scale and get a precise weight.
Transport Checklist
❑ Plan the route. Avoid steep hills. Keep Clearances in
mind. Folded, your NTA907/3007HD Drill is just
under 4.1m (13.5ft) high and just under 3m (10ft)
wide.
❑ Hitch.
Make hydraulic, electrical and optional braking con-
nections. See “Hitching Tractor to Air Drill” on
page 18.
❑ Close hopper lids (page 45).
❑ Check that ladder (page 44), auger (page 53) and
markers (page 61) are stowed.
❑ If unfolded, raise, fold, tilt and hook air drill.
See “Folding the Air Drill” on page 34.
❑ If drill is equipped with optional brakes:
With tractor in Park, and with tractor parking brake
set, release drill parking brakes (page 42).
❑ Always have lights on for highway operation.
❑ Comply with all national, regional and local safety
laws when traveling on public roads.

Material may be loaded prior to travel, but increases stopping
distance, increases the need for caution in turns and braking,
and increases tire and brake wear.
