Transport Towed Equipment at Safe Speeds

Do not exceed the maximum transport speed. This tractor is capable of operating at transport speeds that exceed the maximum allowable transport speed for most towed implements.

Before transporting a towed implement, determine from signs on the implement or information provided in the implement's operator manual the maximum transport speed. Never transport at speeds that exceed the implement's maximum transport speed. Exceeding the implement's maximum transport speed can result in:

  • Loss of control of the tractor/implement combination
  • Reduced or no ability to stop during braking
  • Implement tire failure
  • Damage to the implement structure or its components

In the absence of manufacturer's information, observe these transport speed limits:

  • For towed equipment without brakes, do not transport at speeds above 32 km/h (20 mph)
  • For towed equipment with brakes, do not transport at speeds above 40 km/h ( 25 mph)

Do not attempt transport if:

  • The fully loaded implement without brakes weighs more than 1.5 t (3300 lb) and more than 1.5 times the weight of the tractor
  • The fully loaded implement with brakes weighs more than 4.5 times the weight of the tractor
