Controls Differential Lock Pedal This pedal located on the LH side of the Operator's Seat when depressed by heel pressure, operates a differential lock mechanism which locks both of the axle shafts together. Its purpose is to overcome completely one-wheel slip encountered under bad field conditions, especially when plowing or when hauling heavy trailers on slippery surfaces. The condition where one wheel spins completely uselessly digging itself Into the soil while the other stands idle, is thus overcome resulting in saving fuel, brake wear and tire abuse. Differential lock is designed for occasional use. Do not attempt to lock differential while, a. The tractor is in high speed. b. Turning tractor.
The Differential Lock design is solely for the use with pneumatic tires. If steel wheels, girdles etc. are fitted, the differential lock should be removed as a precaution.
Attempting to turn the tractor while differential lock is engaged may result in damage to transmission.
Clutch Tractor is fitted with hydraulic control valve to engage / disengage drive to transmission. For Independent PTO a separate hydraulically operated clutch pack is mounted on the PTO Shaft.
