13. TRANSPORTING THE TRACTOR AND MOWER

Inherent dangers of operating the tractor and mower and the possibility of accidents are not left behind when you finish mowing an area. Therefore, the operator must employ good judgement and safe operation practices when transporting the tractor and mower between locations. By using good judgement and following safe transport procedures, the possibility of accidents while moving between locations can be substantially minimized.

DANGER!

Never allow children or other persons to ride on the Tractor or

 

 

Implement. Falling off can result in serious injury or death.

Before transporting the tractor and mower, idle the tractor engine, disengage the PTO and wait for all mower moving parts to come to a complete stop. Raise the mower wings and secure in position with transport lock pins. When transporting, only raise the center deck enough to clear ground obstacles to prevent tipping, especially when traveling through rough terrain.

If the tractor’s hydraulic pump is not independent of the tractor PTO, or if the tractor PTO has to be run to have hydraulic power, disconnect the mower driveline from the tractor PTO output shaft. Secure the driveline to the mower deck to prevent driveline damage or loss during transport.

Before transporting the tractor on a public roadway or boarding a trailer for transport, the tractor brake pedals should be locked together. Locking the pedals ensures that both wheels brake simultaneously while stopping, especially when making an emergency stop.

Use extreme caution and avoid hard applications of the tractor brakes when towing heavy loads at road speeds. Never tow the mower at speeds greater than 20 MPH.

Tires and Wheels

Laminated Sectional Tires are designed for conditions where puncture proof performance is required and the mower will not be transported for long distances on roadways. Transport speed for laminated tires should not exceed 10 MPH. Excessive speed can cause damage to the machine and tire sections.

Foam Filled used Airplane Tires are ideal for conditions where a puncture proof tire is needed and the mower is frequently transported between locations.

Pneumatic Tires (used airplane or implement tires) are ideal for frequent long distance towing, however, they are not puncture proof and are not recommended for mowing brushy areas or other conditions that could damage the tires. Maximum airplane tire inflation pressure is 50 PSI, minimum inflation pressure is 20 PSI. Inflate ribbed implement tires to manufacturer rated PSI as shown on the tire sidewall. DO NOT over-inflate.
