Road and Field Travel
Simplicity Air Seeders are designed for the infield applications of fertiliser and
sowing of seed and therefore are not designed for continuous, high speed, road
travel.
However, it is understood that the locations of some working areas would
necessitate that the Simplicity Air Seeder be moved on public roads from time to
time for the purpose of carrying out sowing operations.
The Simplicity Air Seeder has been designed with this in mind and is quite
capable of infrequent, short distance movements on the road providing the
following criteria are met and the bins are empty. However a small amount of
product in the front bin is beneficial for stability during road travel for Air Seeders
with castoring front axle.
Always use an agricultural tractor large enough and with sufficient braking
capacity to stop the combined unit quickly and safely.
Make sure all wheel nuts on the Simplicity Air Seeder are present and
tight.
Make sure all hitching components are in good order with all pins secure
and there is no possibility of the Simplicity Air Seeder coming unhooked.
Make sure all safety chains are present, connected and secure.
Traveling speed in field or on the road should not exceed 20 kilometres per
hour.
Know the equipments limitations when negotiating changes in road or
operating conditions. Reduce tractor speed further over uneven or rough
ground and be aware of potential hazards such as bridges, trees, fences,
gates, water courses and other road users etc.
Do not transport the Simplicity Air Seeder on public roads when wet. The
stopping capability of the tractor will be significantly reduced.
Do not transport the Simplicity Air Seeder on public roads in poor visibility.
The dimensions of the equipment may exceed local laws regarding road
travel. Always check with the relevant local authority regarding excess
dimension requirements before transporting the Simplicity Air Seeder.
Be aware of the Simplicity Air Seeders height when traveling or working
around over head power lines.
Do not allow others to ride on the Simplicity Air Seeder or any part of the
equipment either in field or on the road.
Make certain there is no possibility of any component falling from the
Simplicity Air Seeder.
It is important to remember that the Simplicity Air Seeder is NOT designed for
frequent, high speed, activities and as such Simplicity Australia does NOT
recommend on road travel other than necessary, infrequent, short distance road
travel at a greatly reduced speed following all criteria outlined above.
