Loading the MK-V for Transport

At some point, you’ll need to transport your Monarch Tractor on a trailer. Given the weight distribution of the main battery, please follow the instructions below.

 

 

WARNING: Adequately designed ramps of sufficient strength are required to support the weight of the tractor. Do not use wood ramps, which can break and cause personal injury.

Before you begin

Here’s what you’ll need to safely complete this task:

  • Protective equipment as required by your job site
  • Safety glasses
  • Transport vehicle/trailer equipped to haul 5 tons
  • Four 2 ¾-inch clevis pins rated for at least 4,500 pounds each
  • Four 5/16-inch or 3/8-inch Grade 70 chains
  • Chain binders to tighten the chains

Load the Tractor for Transport

To load the tractor for transport:

  1. Wash the tractor, especially if there is animal waste on the tractor.
  2. Power on the tractor. Drive the tractor onto the trailer in gear L3 at a slow speed.
  3. Position the tractor so that it’s in the center of the trailer, with the tractor’s rear wheels resting across the middle of the trailer’s rear axle.
  4. Attach two 2 3/4-inch threaded clevis pins (rated for at least 4,500 pounds) to the holes in the tractor’s front tie-down brackets.
  5. Use one chain for each clevis pin, for a total of two chains, attaching the clevis pins to the trailer. Use binders to tighten the chains.
  6. Loop 5/16-inch or 3/8-inch grade 70 chains to both sides of the drawbar hitch on the rear of the tractor. Use chains to attach the clevis pins to the trailer. Use binders to tighten the chains.
  7. Double-check that all chains and clevis pins are properly connected and tightened.
  8. Power off the tractor. Turn off the 12V battery.
