2.1.3.2 Driving safety
Risk when driving on roads and fields
Any mounted or towed implement as well as front
or rear ballast weights on the tractor influence the
driving behaviour and the steering and braking
power of the tractor. The driving characteristics
also depend on the operating condition, the fill
level of the load, and on the ground. If the driver
does not take account of changing driving
characteristics, he can cause accidents.
Always ensure that the tractor's steering and
braking systems are operating correctly.
The tractor must provide the required brake
lag for the tractor and mounted implement.
Check the function of the brakes before
moving off.
The tractor front axle must always be
loaded with at least 20 % of the empty
tractor weight to ensure  steering
power.
Use front ballast weights if necessary.
Always attach the front or rear ballast weights
properly on the specified fixing points.
Calculate and observe the payload of the
mounted or towed implement.
Observe the permissible axle loads and
drawbar loads of the tractor.
Observe the permissible drawbar load of the
hitch device and drawbar.
Drive in such a way that you always have full
control over the tractor with the mounted or
towed implement. In so doing, take your
personal abilities into account, as well as the
road, traffic, visibility and weather conditions,
the driving characteristics of the tractor, and
the influence of the mounted implement.
