SECTION 2 - OPERATION

ARTICULATION BLOCKS

Each individual tire size requires a specific articulation block to be used with that tire size. Refer to “Tire Configurations” in Section 1 for the maximum articulation angle allowed based on tire selection.

There are four possible articulation angles used on the tractors. They are 42°, 38°, 33°, 31°. The following information shows what each articulation block configuration looks like. The articulation blocks are located on the front frame adjacent to each fuel tank.

IMPORTANT: Install the proper articulation blocks on the tractor before the dual or triple wheels are installed on the unit to prevent any accidental damage from occurring.

NOTE: Any tractor that is equipped with a PTO option requires a 38° articulation block kit be installed on it. If the tire size of the tractor requires a 33° or 31° articulation kit, use those kits instead of the 38° kit for a PTO option.
