SERVICE 02 / MACHINERY
Plan movement for tractors, harvesting equipment, field machinery, implements and attachments. The correct method follows the machine, the route and the receiving site.
Tractors and implements can differ substantially in width, height, weight distribution, ground clearance and exposed components. Attachments may need separate consideration. Record the complete transport configuration, not only the base machine.
Loading compatibility includes the selected vehicle, access to the loading area, surface condition and qualified personnel. Actual loading and securing must follow qualified procedures and applicable requirements. This site does not provide step-by-step restraint instructions.
PREPARATION
Document fragile controls, mirrors, guards, booms, cutting elements and removable attachments. Note existing marks and exposed areas. Protection decisions should be agreed with the equipment owner and transport operator before collection.
Check that information supplied by the owner matches the machine as presented. A change in attachment or configuration can affect vehicle compatibility, route suitability and delivery coordination.
SEASONAL CONTROL
Harvest and planting periods can tighten availability for farms, loading areas and specialist transport. Early information helps separate a preferred window from a fixed operational requirement.
Farm-to-farm movement also requires clear handover contacts. Confirm who controls collection readiness, who receives the equipment and who can make decisions if access or weather changes.
