TOWING

When towing a tractor, follow these rules:

1. Never pull the tractor fasten than a ground speed of 16 Km/h (10MPH).

2. Make sure all controls are in the neutral or OFF position.

3. Because of a possible loss of steering and brakes when the tractor engine is not running, use only a rigid towing bar and safety chains to pull the tractor.

Make sure that the weight of a trailed vehicle that is not equipped with brakes, NEVER EXCEEDS the weight of the machine that is towing the vehicle. Stopping distance increases with increasing speed as the weight of the towed load increases, especially on hills and slops.

How To Transport Tractor

When you transport the tractor by truck or rail, follow these rules:

1. Hold the tractor with tie downs and block the wheels.

2. Gear Drive: Put the gear shift lever in 1 st position and put the rang shift lever in the L position and shuttle shift (over in F or R) position. Hydrostatic Drive: Move the Speed Lock lever to OFF position and put the range shift lever in the L position.

3. Lock the brake pedals together, push the brake pedals down and move the park brake lever to engage the park brake .

Gear Drive Transmission

The gear drive transmission has forward and a reverse gear section and a four-speed main shift gear section, and a two-speed range section. This arrangement gives eight forward and eight reverse speeds.

Transmission Operation

1. Push the clutch pedal and stop the tractor. Move the gear shift lever to the gear needed.

2. Move the range shift lever to the position needed, H, L (The tractor must be stopped before the range lever is operated.)

3. Move the shuttle lever to Forward or Reverse position.

4. Release the clutch pedal slowly.
