Towing Loads

IMPORTANT: Avoid damage! Towing excessive trailer loads at full speeds for long distances and up slopes can stress drivetrain components. To avoid damage to drivetrain components, use the following guidelines.

• Total towed weight must not exceed combined weight of pulling machine, ballast, and operator. Use counterweights or wheel weights as described in an attachment or pulling machine operator’s manual.
• When towing over 150 kg (350 lbs.), depress forward travel pedal no more than halfway to avoid transmission damage. Always run tractor at full throttle when towing loads.
• Avoid inclines greater than a 10 percent slope while towing to avoid damage to the pulling machine. Use the Slope Guide located in this operator’s manual to ensure proper machine towing operation. See SAFETY, Operating on Slopes in this operator’s manual for additional information.

  IMPORTANT: Avoid damage! Always run tractor at full throttle when PTO is engaged and when towing loads.
