TRANSPORT POSITION 

– Rear Mounted Machines 

 

The  machine  is  transported  in  line  to  the  rear  of  the  tractor  with  a  minimum  of  3OOmm 
clearance between the tension link and the rear cross member of the tractor cab. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

TRANSPORT POSITION WITH FLAILHEAD REMOVED 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

With the flailhead removed the arms are fully folded but with the lift ram fully retracted. If 
the lift ram is extended the weight of the arms will result in the balance of the machine to 
go  ‘over  centre’  causing  the  tension  link  to  crash  into  the  rear  cross  member  of  the 
tractor’s cab. 

 

WARNING 

 

During transport: 

 

The 'SLEW’ mode must ALWAYS be selected on the control assembly.
