 Check the horizontal and vertical permissible load of the hitch (or drawbar) before towing. The load
is different with trailer brake, and stopping distance increases with speed and weight of towed loads
and slope. Make sure you consider the total weight of the equipment and its load. (See chapter 4-5-
(3). “Hitch and Drawbar” in this manual. )
 Drive slowly when towing extremely heavy loads.
 Do not tow trailers that are not fitted with an independent braking system.
(4) Notices when towing the tractor
 If your tractor needs to be towed for a short
distance, use the hitch (or drawbar) or front
towing hook. Do not connect to other structures
such as rear axle, ROPS, front axle, steering
components for towing. These components
could be damaged by the chain or by excessive
strain.
 Your tractor can be steered for a short distance
without engine running, but it will be hard to turn
the steering wheel. If possible, run the engine
for steering and lubrication.
 When being towed, disengage the 4WD,
differential lock, parking brake and place all gear
shift levers in neutral position.
▶ Unexpected machine movement!
Never attempt to start the machine by towing. The machine could start
unexpectedly.
Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury.
Warning
▶Transport hazard!
Do not tow the machine on public roads. Towing could cause a safety hazard for
other vehicles using the roadway.
Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury.
Warning
▶ Hazard to bystanders!
Do not use cables or rope to tow the machine. If the cable or rope breaks or slips,
it may whip back with enough force to cause serious injury. When using a chain,
attach the chain with the hook's open side facing UP. If the hook slips, it will drop
down instead of flying up.
Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury.
Warning
▶ If it is necessary to tow the tractor, all gear levers must be moved to the neutral
position before stopping the engine otherwise damage to transmission
components may occur during towing.
