Safe tractor transport requires the operator possess a thorough knowledge of the model being
operated and precautions to take while driving with an attached implement. ensure the tractor has
the capacity to handle the weight of the implement and the tractor operating controls are set for
safe transport. to ensure safety while driving the tractor with an attached implement, review the
following.
the Implement and tractor to pivot violently resulting in loss of steering control, serious injury, or
even death.
never allow the Implement to contact obstacles.
transport only at speeds where you can maintain control of the equipment.
Serious accidents and injuries can result from operating this equipment at
high speeds. understand the tractor and Implement and how it handles before
transporting on streets and highways. make sure the tractor steering and
brakes are in good condition and operate properly.
Before transporting the tractor and Implement, determine the proper transport speeds for
you and the equipment. make sure you abide by the following rules:
test the tractor at a slow speed and increase the speed slowly. apply the
Brakes smoothly to determine the stopping characteristics of the tractor and
Implement. as you increase the speed of the tractor the stopping distance
increases.
Be aware of the operating conditions. Do not operate the tractor with weak or
faulty brakes
or worn tires. When operating down a hill or on wet or rain slick roads, the braking distance
increases: use extreme care and reduce your speed. When operating in traffic always use
the tractor’s flashing warning lights and reduce your speed. Be aware of traffic around you
and watch out for the other guy.

10. DRIVING THE TRACTOR AND IMPLEMENT
Safe tractor transport requires the operator possess a thorough knowledge of the model being operated and
precautions to take while driving with an attached implement. Ensure the tractor has the capacity to handle the
weight of the implement and the tractor operating controls are set for safe transport. To ensure safety while
driving the tractor with an attached implement, review the following. OPS-U- 0012
This Implement is wider than the Tractor. Be careful when operating or transporting this
equipment to prevent the Implement from running into or striking sign posts, guard rails,
concrete abutments or other solid objects. Such an impact could cause the Implement and
Tractor to pivot violently resulting in loss of steering control, serious injury, or even death. Never allow the
Implement to contact obstacles.
(S3PT-12)
Transport only at speeds where you can maintain control of the
equipment. Serious accidents and injuries can result from operating this
equipment at high speeds. Understand the Tractor and Implement and
how it handles before transporting on streets and highways. Make sure the Tractor steering
and brakes are in good condition and operate properly.
Before transporting the Tractor and Implement, determine the proper transport speeds for
you and the equipment. Make sure you abide by the following rules:
•
Test the tractor at a slow speed and increase the speed slowly. Apply the Brakes
smoothly to determine the stopping characteristics of the Tractor and Implement. As
you increase the speed of the Tractor the stopping distance increases. Determine the
maximum transport speed not to exceed 20 mph (30 kph) for towing this equipment.
•
Test the equipment at a slow speed in turns. Increase the speed through the turn only
after you determine that it is safe to operate at a higher speed. Use extreme care and
reduce your speed when turning sharply to prevent the tractor and implement from turn-
ing over. Determine the maximum safe turning speed for you and this equipment before
operating on roads or uneven ground.
•
Only transport the Tractor and Implement at the speeds which allow you to properly
control the equipment.
Be aware of the operating conditions. Do not operate the Tractor with weak or faulty brakes
or worn tires. When operating down a hill or on wet or rain slick roads, the braking distance
increases: use extreme care and reduce your speed. When operating in traffic always use
the Tractor’s flashing warning lights and reduce your speed. Be aware of traffic around you
and watch out for the other guy.
