Located at the front of the left running board, the differential lock pedal engages the transmission differential lock.

WARNING: When operating with the differential lock engaged, the tractor will be difficult to steer. Do not drive the tractor on roadways or at high speeds with the differential lock engaged.

NOTE: Disengagement of the differential lock is recommended prior to turning the tractor on grass or other maintained surfaces — tire damage to the turf could occur.
