Avoid Using Ground Engaging Equipment

IMPORTANT: Avoid machine damage. This tractor is NOT intended for use with ground engaging equipment. Use of such equipment could result in damage to transmission components.

This tractor is not intended for use with ground engaging equipment such as a rear tiller, disk, blade or plow.

Using Front Weights

cCAUTION: Avoid injury. Tractor front wheel weights improve stability in most slope operation. To avoid injury, add front wheel weights for better front-end stability and steering when using a rear mounted attachment.

Install front wheel weights, two required, for better stability and steering control when you use equipment such as the rear-mounted grass bagger or dumpcart.

See your Authorized Service Center for Front Weights.

Remove front wheel weights when not required.

Using Rear Wheel Weights

Use of rear wheel weights is recommended for improved traction when an attachment, such as snowthrower or blade is used.

See your Authorized Service Center for Rear Weights.

Using Tire Chains

Tire chains are recommended for use with snowthrower and, under certain conditions, the front blade.

See your Authorized Service Center for Tire Chains.
