RIGHT SIDE of the transmission | LEFT SIDE of the transmission |
Your tractor has a differential lock that will make both rear wheels turn at the same speed. The differential lock prevents loss of power when one wheel does not have traction but the other wheel does have traction. It also provides a straight in line steering aid when opening up the field and to control implement overlap.
TO ENGAGE THE DIFFERENTIAL LOCK:
Depress and hold the differential lock pedal down.
IMPORTANT: Do not engage the differential lock while one rear wheel is rotating and the other rear wheel is stopped. Always stop the wheel that is rotating and then engage the differential lock.
IMPORTANT: When you engage or disengage the differential lock, the front wheels must be in the straight forward position. Before turning the tractor, disengage the differential lock.
TO DISENGAGE THE DIFFERENTIAL LOCK:
The differential lock will disengage when the differential lock pedal is released. If the differential lock does not disengage easily, push down on either brake pedal momentarily.
Do not drive on roads, or at high speed anywhere, with the differential lock engaged. Difficult steering will occur, and can result in an accident. In field operation, use the differential lock for traction improvement, but release for turning at row ends.
