Chapter 4: Presentation

Congratulations on your choice of an exceptionally high quality product. This operator's manual describes Husqvarna PT 26D.

It is fitted with a Perkins 3 cylinder diesel engine developing 26 horse power.

PT 26D is equipped with hydraulic steering and attachment lift. They are supplied with pressure from a pump on the engine.

The machine is all wheel drive in low speed mode.

The power transmission from the engine is hydrostatic. It is supplied with pressure by a pump under the driver’s seat. A shaft with two flexible couplings powers the pump. Flow and direction are regulated with the pedals, so that forward and reversing speeds are variably controlled. One pedal to drive forwards (1) and one pedal to reverse (2). The pump drives four hydraulic motors in parallel, one for each wheel.

The power transmission is also used as service brake.

There are low and high speeds for driving. High or low speed is selected using a switch.

The machine is equipped with an electro-hydraulic differential lock, which is controlled by a pedal. The differential lock only works longitudinally, which means that you can turn the machine with the differential lock activated.

The differential lock does not work in high speed.

Rear light, horn, direction indicators and rotating warning lights are optional equipment (traffic kit).

The cutting unit takes power from the engine by means of an electromagnetic clutch, two V-belts, apower take- off shaft, a propeller shaft and a bevel gear.
