All Vennings Self Propelled Augers are now fitted with Electric Brakes with a self-contained controller so the auger can be legally towed at the sign posted speed behind any vehicle.
In S.A. & N.S.W. the maximum speed at which you can tow any agricultural implement without brakes is 50 km/hour. In Vic. the maximum speed at which you can travel is 20km/h less than the road speed limit.
If your agricultural implement is fitted with brakes, normal speed limits apply.
We can fit electric brakes to push around and PTO augers, and supply kits so they can be fitted to old augers, please contact us if you would like more information.
