Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Agricultural machines, being special vehicles, distinguish between working width and circulation width. When traveling on public roads, they must have their implements or folding elements retracted to reduce their dimensions and danger. According to the technical regulations applied in this context, the circulation width is considered the width of the machine while stopped reduced by 0.50 meters. This mathematical reduction is applied to ensure that the stowage of components meets the necessary lateral safety margins regarding other road users.
