Hydraulic System Functions

General

All of the inboard and auxiliary hydraulics are controlled by the attachment lift control lever. The attachment lift control lever raises and lowers attachments that utilize the tractor’s hydraulic lift cylinder. This lever also con- trols attachments that use the tractor’s auxiliary hydraulics via the quick couplers on the front left and right sides of the frame.

The rate of hydraulic fluid flow and pressure that are available when using the auxiliary hydraulic quick cou- plers is listed in the chart in Figure 5.

The lever has five positions: left, right, back, forward (first detent) and float (pushed forward to second detent).

Using Inboard Hydraulics

The inboard hydraulics control the tractor’s belly attach- ment lift (mower deck) and three point hitch lift (if equipped). The front / rear hydraulic selector switch must be in the REAR position.

Pulling the lever back raises the attachment lift (A, Figure
