2WD POSITION
Use the 4WD to obtain improved traction in loose, sandy or wet soil conditions. 4WD will also give improved steering control and will reduce soil compaction. 4WD can be engaged or disengaged as needed with the 4WD control lever located on the LH side below the operators seat. To engage the 4WD, press the clutch pedal down, stop the tractor and move the 4WD control lever down to the ON position. IF THE 4WD IS DIFFICULT TO ENGAGE, DO THE FOLLOWING: 1. Move the range shift lever to L range. 2. Slowly release and press the clutch pedal to move the tractor forward or rearward a small amount. 3. Push the clutch pedal and stop the tractor. 4. Move the 4WD control lever until fully engaged. To disengage the 4WD, push the clutch pedal, stop the tractor and move the 4WD control lever up to the OFF position. IF THE 4WD IS DIFFICULT TO DISENGAGE, DO THE FOLLOWING: 1. Move the range shift lever to L range. 2. Slowly release and press the clutch pedal to move the tractor forward or rearward a small amount. 3. Push the clutch pedal and stop the tractor. 4. Move the 4WD control lever up until completely disengaged. Tractors equipped with mechanical front drive (MFD) have increased traction and can climb steeper slopes. Stay off slopes too steep for safe operation. To prevent rear overturns, back up steeper M231 slopes. 49
