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

The differential lock is used to gain additional trac- tion when operating the tractor on wet or loose soil. When the pedal is depressed the rear wheels of the tractor are prevented from rotating independently of one another.

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.

X. Foldable ROPS (Rollover Protective Structure)

The ROPS is installed to prevent or reduce injuries to the operator should the tractor accidentally overturn. The foldable feature allows the ROPS to be lowered when operating in areas with low overhead clearance. The protection provided by the ROPS is minimized if the seat belt is not used, and is eliminated when in the folded position.
