Road Transportation

causym CAUTION: Slow-moving tractors with attachments or towed equipment are difficult to see on public roads. Frequently check for traffic from the rear, especially in turns. Use your turn signals.

1. Before driving tractor on roads:

  • Ballast tractor correctly. (See Front End Ballast, in this section.)
  • Clean windows and adjust rear-view mirrors.
  • Use foot throttle instead of hand throttle.

causym CAUTION: Use brakes lightly and cautiously when slowing from transport speed.

IMPORTANT: To prevent unnecessary wear, never ride the brakes by resting a foot on the pedals.

IMPORTANT: Couple brake pedals together using brake locking bar (A).

2. Tap brake pedal to ensure differential lock is NOT engaged.

3. Check local laws and regulations for lighting requirements. Clean warning lights (A). If towed or rear-mounted equipment obstructs view of safety devices, install warning lights on equipment.

4. Differential Lock (if equipped): Remove foot from differential lock switch and tap (apply) brakes.

5. MFWD (if equipped): Disengage front-wheel drive when transporting tractor. When driving on roads, engage BRAKE ASSIST (if equipped) position of MFWD switch to provide four-wheel braking.

6. Loader Cylinders (if equipped): Engage transport lock to eliminate possibility of loader movement during transport by inadvertently bumping the multifunction lever.

7. Rear Hitch: Lock hitch in transport position to eliminate the possibility of lowering an implement during transport by inadvertently bumping the raise/lower lever.

8. Drive slowly to maintain safe control. Before going down a hill, shift to a lower gear to control speed without using brakes. Slow down for rough ground and sharp turns, especially when transporting heavy, rear-mounted equipment.
