Tractor hitch
1) Hook the equipment to a suitable, suffi ciently-powered tractor
by means of the appropriate device (lifter), in conformity with
applicable standards.
2) The class of the equipment attachment pins must be the same
as that of the lifter attachment.
3) Take care when working within the range of the lifting arms as
this is a very dangerous area.
4) Be very careful when hooking and unhooking the equipment.
5) It is absolutely forbidden to stand between the tractor and lin-
kage for manoeuvring the lifting controls from the outside (Fig.
5).
6) It is absolutely forbidden to stand in the space between the
tractor and the equipment (Fig. 5) with the engine running.
It is possible to work between the tractor and the equipment only
after the parking brake has been applied and a suitably sized
blocking wedge or stone has been placed under the wheels.
7) The attaching of additional equipment onto the tractor brings
about a different distribution of weight on the axles. Check the
compatibility of the tractor performance with the weight that the
seeder transfers onto the three-point linkage. If in doubt consult
the tractor Manufacturer.
8) Comply with the maximum admissible weight for the axle, the
total mobile weight, transport regulations and the highway code.
Transport on Road
1) When driving on public roads, be sure to follow the highway
code of the country involved.
2) Any transport accessories must be provided with suitable signs
and guards.
3) It is very important to remember that road holding capacity
as well as direction and braking capacity can be infl uenced,
sometimes con-siderably, by equipment being either carried or
towed.
4) When negotiating curves, be aware of the variation in centrifu-
gal force exerted in a position other than that of the center of
gravity, with and without the equipment in tow. Also pay greater
attention on sloping roads or ground.
5) For transport, adjust and fasten the lateral lifting arm chains
of the tractor; check that the seed and fertilizer hopper covers
are closed properly; lock the hydraulic lifting control lever.
6) Road movements must be performed with all tanks empty.
7) For displacements beyond the work area, the equipment must
be placed in the transportation position.
8) Upon request the Manufacturer will supply supports and tables
for signaling of dimensions.
9) When the dimensions of carried or partially-carried equipment
conceal the tractor’s signalling and lighting devices, these must
also be installed on the equipment itself, in conformity with
regulations of the highway code of the country involved. When
in operation make sure that the lighting system is in perfect
working order.
