For more information on transport when tracks are fitted refer to track operation and maintenance manual

  1. Ensure towing vehicle requirements are adequate for the towed vehicle, e.g. mass/brakes etc.
  2. Braking when towing can cause the load to jackknife. Use extra care when towing in adverse conditions such as mud, inclines and sharp bends.
  3. Lower towing speeds are recommended on farm roads/tracks and where one wheel is on or over a road verge.
  4. Attach safety chains to the tractor.
    Note: The safety chains are provided with sufficient length to cater for all towing vehicles. Safety chains must be shortened by cutting off the excess length so that if the coupling fails, the drawbar will not hit the ground.

Pre Start Checklist

  1. Check wheel nuts are tight.
  2. Check tyre pressure is as specified within this manual.
  3. Check for oil leaks.
  4. Check that no foreign objects are in the chaser bin.
  5. Check the chassis for cracks or damage.
  6. Ensure PTO shaft guards and all other guards are in place and in good working condition.
  7. If tracks are fitted, check that tracks hydraulic tension pressure is correct 131 Bar or 1900PSI.

Field Operation

  • Caution: The chaser bin needs to be filled evenly so that the loading to the tractor hitch does not tend to lift or put downward force on the hitch connection.
  • Caution: When loaded do not exceed 10 km/h
  • Caution: You cannot turn or be on an angle when the PTO shaft is engaged. This will cause damage to your universal joint.
