▲20 mph when weight is less than or equal to the weight of tractor.

▲10 mph when weight is double the weight of tractor.

▲IMPORTANT: Do not tow a load that is more than double the weight of tractor.

Use A Safety Chain

▲A safety chain will help control drawn machinery should it separate from the tractor drawbar.

▲Use a chain with the strength rating equal to or greater than the gross weight of the towed machinery.

▲Attach the chain to the tractor drawbar support or other specified anchor location. Allow only enough slack in the chain to permit turning.

▲Do not use safety chain for towing.

Practice Safe Maintenance
