NOTE: The value listed above represents the weighted root means square acceleration to which the whole body is subjected on a representative machine during actual mowing and transport conditions. The acceleration value depends upon the roughness of the ground, the speed at which the tractor is operating and the operator weight and driving habits. Measurements were obtained through actual field data according to STD Procedure in EN836-A2.
