Instructions to be respected for hitching and unhitching
Pay attention to the various possibilities permitted for connecting the tractor’s coupling equipment to
that of the machine.
Only combine equipment that is compatible (machine and tractor)
Check that the tractor has the necessary characteristics to hitch the machine.
WARNING
:
Risk of the tractor breaking during operation, of having insufficient stability under load, and
insufficient manoeuvrability and braking power in the case of non-compliant implementation.
Check that the tractor satisfies the necessary requirements before installing or hitching the machine.
The machine must only be mounted on a tractor or hitched to a tractor if it satisfies the necessary
requirements.
Perform a braking test to check that the tractor can provide the regulatory deceleration power even
with the machine mounted or hitched.
The requirements relating to the tractor concern in particular:
-
The total authorised weight
-
The authorised axle loads
-
The authorised vertical load on the tractor coupling point
-
The permissible load capacities of the tyres mounted on the tractor
-
Sufficient authorised load on the coupling point
You will find this information on the data plate or on the vehicle's registration papers and in the tractor
user manual.
The tractor's front axel must systematically be able to support at least 20% of the empty weight of the
tractor.
Calculation of the real values of the total tractor weight, tractor axle load and the load capacity
of the tyres, and of the minimum ballast required:
The total authorised weight of the tractor indicted on the vehicle’s registration papers must be greater
than the sum of:
- The empty weight of tractor,
- The ballast
- The total weight of the mounted machine or the vertical load of the hitched machine.
This instruction only applies in Germany:
If the axle loads and/or the total authorised weight are not complied with after all the possibilities have
been exhausted, the competent authority according to the law of the land, may deliver a waiver based
on the report of an approved expert in the field of motor vehicle circulation and with the agreement of
the manufacturer, in accordance with article 70 of the German law governing the authorisation of
vehicles to use the public highway, and the obligatory authorisation with regard to the German
highway code.
Combination of machines: do not combine machines which are incompatible or a combination of which
is incompatible with the tractor.
