OPERATION SECTION
TRANSPORTING THE TRACTOR AND IMPLEMENT
Inherent dangers of operating the tractor and implement and the possibility of accidents are not left
behind when you finish working in an area. therefore, the operator must employ good judgement
and safe operation practices when transporting the tractor and implement between locations. By
using good judgement and following safe transport procedures, the possibility of accidents while
moving between locations can be substantially minimized.
never allow children or other persons to ride on the tractor or Implement. Falling off can result in
serious injury or death.
Before transporting the tractor and cutter, idle the tractor engine, disengage the PtO and wait for all
cutter moving parts to come to a complete stop. Raise the cutter wings and secure in position with
transport lock braces. When transporting, only raise the center deck enough to clear ground
obstacles to prevent tipping, especially when traveling through rough terrain.
If the tractor’s hydraulic pump is not independent of the tractor PtO, or if the tractor PtO has to
be run to have hydraulic power, disconnect the cutter driveline from the tractor PtO output shaft.
Secure the driveline to the cutter deck to prevent driveline damage or loss during transport.
