11. CARRYING LOADS
11-2
 Make sure the load does not interfere with controls or your ability to
see where you are going.
 Drive more slowly than you would without a load. The more weight
you carry, the slower you should go. Although conditions vary, it is
good practice not to exceed low range whenever you are carrying
heavier loads or when towing a trailer.
 Allow more braking distance. A heavier vehicle takes longer to stop.
 Avoid making sharp turns unless at very slow speeds.
 Avoid hills and rough terrain. Choose terrain carefully. Added weight
affects the stability and handling of the vehicle.
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.
