Do not exceed the legal speed limit set in your country for agricultural tractors. Always stay alert when transporting the tractor and mower on public roads. Especially in busy cities, the boom extends to right farther then the tractors width, so be careful there are no bystanders, poles,large obstructions or any vehicles that may be in path of the mower head on boom. Use caution and reduce speed if other vehicles or pedestrians are in the area.
