You are driving an agricultural tractor with a maximum design speed of 40 km/h. You are permitted to tow what maximum number of trailers that have a maximum permissible speed of 25 km/h?

In Germany, the regulations regarding the towing of trailers by agricultural tractors are outlined in the national traffic laws. When you drive a tractor with a maximum design speed of 40 km/h, you are allowed to tow trailers that have a maximum permissible speed of 25 km/h.

The specific regulation allows for a maximum of two such trailers to be towed at the same time. This is important for safety and to ensure that the vehicle’s handling remains manageable. Towing more than the allowed number could lead to difficulties in control and increase the risk of accidents.

Following these rules not only helps in maintaining safety on the roads but also ensures compliance with legal requirements, avoiding penalties or liability in case of an incident. Understanding these limits is essential for responsible driving, especially in agricultural settings where machinery is often on public roads.
