Towing the Tractor

causym CAUTION: Never tow the tractor at a speed greater than 10 km/h (6 mph).

Shift both range and reverse drive levers to neutral position.

Make sure that the oil level in the transmission is between the marks on the sight-glass or dipstick. If the tractor is to be towed with the front wheels raised, observe the following points:

  • Never raise the wheels more than 30 cm (12 in.).
  • For every 15 cm (6 in.) that the front wheels are raised, add 4 liter (1 US.gal.) of transmission/hydraulic oil to the transmission.
  • When towing is completed, drain off the excess oil.

IMPORTANT: If the engine is running, switch off front-wheel drive. If the engine is not running, disconnect universal-jointed drive shaft by taking out screws (A). This prevents excessive wear on the tires.

IMPORTANT: The jaw hitch at the front weights may be used for towing on metalled roads only.

IMPORTANT: Before moving the tractor, make sure that the tow lever is locked in the tow position.

When towing is completed, move gear lever (A) to the "park" position. Push the tow lever (B) a short distance forward, raise it and then pull it all the way to the rear. If the lever is stiff, move the tractor a little.
