Transporting Machine on a Trailer

Use a heavy-duty trailer to transport your machine. Trailer must have signs and lights required by law.

Trailer capacity must exceed combined machine weight and attachment weight. (See SPECIFICATIONS section in Operator’s Manual).

  1. Use extra care when loading or unloading the machine onto a trailer or truck. Machine wheels can go off the ramp or trailer, causing the machine to tip over.

    • To load, move the machine back slowly in a straight line. Keep wheels away from drop-offs and edges.

    • Do not use two separate loading ramps. Use a full width loading ramp at least 30 cm (12 in.) wider than machine to keep caster wheels from going off the ramp edge.

    • Use a trailer with sides.

    • Ensure ROPS is pinned in the upright position.

    Park trailer on level surface.

  2. Raise mower deck to the transport position.
