3.11 - Transporting
CAUTION: Make sure PTO is disengaged and windrower rake tines have stopped
turning before transporting windrower rake. Do not tow tractor and windrower
rake behind other vehicles. Use a properly equipped trailer with heavy tie-downs
for towing operations.

obstacles such as trees, fences or buildings.
