Slow moving tractors, self-propelled equipment and towed implements or attachments can create a hazard when driven on public roads. They are difficult to see, especially at night. Avoid personal injury or death resulting from collision with a vehicle.

Whenever driving on public roads, use flashing warning lights and turn signal according to local regulation. To increase visibility, use the lights and devices provided with your machine. For some equipment, install extra flashing warning lights.

Keep safety items in good condition. Replace missing or damaged items. An implement safety lighting kit is available from your John Deere dealer.

While driving tractor and loader, follow these precautions:

  • Carry loads close to the ground to aid visibility and to lower center of gravity.
  • Roll bucket or attachment back.
  • Allow for additional length of loader on tractor while turning.
  • Balance loads so weight is evenly distributed and load is stable.
  • Drive slowly if carrying materials. Rough conditions may cause material to spill.
  • Avoid carrying materials wider than the tractor.
