Be aware of height and width restrictions to avoid collision with overpasses or other road users.

When towing, remember that towed loads can swerve, upset or cause you to lose control. Follow these guidelines:

Use a tractor large enough to maintain control. Properly ballast tractor. ( See tractor operator's manual.)

Use appropriate safety lighting and marking. (See your local governmental regulations to assure compliance.)

Stopping distance increases with speed and weight of towed loads and on slopes. Observe these recommended maximum road speeds, or local speed limits which may be lower:
