8. SVLFG 26.11.2015 8 Common strategy of agricultural stakeholders The responsible persons for safety at work in agriculture need to put more emphasis into the following work fields: 1.Tractors with CVT 2.Tractors applying PPP 3.Tractors for transport duties 4.Connection Tractor and trailed equipment

9. SVLFG 26.11.2015 9 1. Tractors with CVT  Driving with CVT Tractor and Trailer  Deceleration by Joystick/Pedal  leads to a “jackknife” situation  The tractor can be pushed to one side Source: created by CLEPA member Knorr-Bremse Jackknife effectJoystick mode Pedal mode

10. SVLFG 26.11.2015 10 2. Tractors applying Plant Protection Products EN 15695 Agricultural tractors and self- propelled sprayers – Protection of the operator (driver) against hazardous substances  The standard was published in 2009  Many technical issues have been fixed  Partly cabins are available  The official acknowledgment of a cabin as part of user protection is pending  The protection of the operator against PPP needs to be improved  In 2015 expected revision of EN 15695  Support needed

11. SVLFG 26.11.2015 11 3.Tractors for transport duties  Maximum speed more than 60 km/h Improvement of braking requirements –Including stability systems:  ABS  ESP Improvement of steering requirements

12. SVLFG 26.11.2015 12 4.Tractor Implement Management Management of Tractor related functions by trailed equipment  Chance for safety related functions e.g. opening of guards  cut off of power sources (PTO, hydraulic and electric) maximal allowed speed in case of failure  stop of the Tractor power sources (PTO, hydraulic and electric)
