CAUTION: Avoid possible injury from losing control while towing a load. Stopping distance increases with speed and weight of towed loads, and on slopes.

Tractor wheels may lock and skid on slippery downhill slopes on tractors equipped with IVT transmission. (See Downhill Operation In Slippery Conditions, in Operating IVT Transmission section.)

Never transport at speeds exceeding the implement's maximum transport speed. Before transporting a towed implement, refer to the implement operator's manual and implement decals to determine the maximum transport speed. This tractor is capable of operating at transport speeds exceeding the maximum allowable transport speed for most towed implements. Use implement code in implement operator's manual to determine the minimum number of front weights required. Failure to adhere to the implement's maximum transport speed or to have correct ballast 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 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)

• Drive slowly over rough ground, regardless of how much ballast is used.

• Add weight to front end if needed to maintain stability and steering control. Heavy pulling and heavy rear-mounted implements tend to lift front wheels.

Do not transport if:

• The fully loaded implement without brakes weighs more than 1496 kg (3300 lb) and more than 1.5 times the weight of the tractor

• For speeds below 40K (25 mph), where the fully loaded implement with brakes weighs more than 4.5 times the weight of the tractor

• For speeds between 40K (25 mph) and 50K (31mph), ¹ where the fully loaded implement with brakes weighs more than 3.0 times the weight of the tractor .

The tractor must be heavy and powerful enough with adequate braking power for the towed load. Add ballast to tractor or lighten the implement load.

Drive slowly enough to maintain safe control. Be alert for skids. Shift to a lower gear for hillsides, rough ground, and sharp turns, especially when transporting heavy equipment.

Never operate with transmission in neutral position or with clutch disengaged.
