Transport

Loss of Control Hazard:
Never tow an implement that weighs more than 150% of the
tractor. 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 7000 kg, depending on
configuration and seed load. The tractor MUST be rated for
the load and must weigh at least 67% of the load. If the tractor
is not rated for at least 7000 kg, calculate or obtain a scale
weight of the planter. See chart at right for typical
configuration weights.

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:
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.
