Operating Power Take-Offs

CAUTION: Always disengage the PTO when not in use.

CAUTION: High-inertia implements do not come to a standstill the moment the PTO control lever is shifted to the disengaged position. Do NOT approach the implement while it is "coasting down". Do not work on the implement until it has stopped.

NOTE: On tractors with PowrQuad Plus or AutoQuad Plus transmission, the electronic engine-speed matching should be turned off during PTO operation. To do so, enter the value 001 in address EPC029. See "Customization" in the "Diagnostic Trouble Codes" section.

The PTOs can be engaged and disengaged on-the-go and under load. When a PTO is engaged, the relevant light (A) and/or (B) comes on.

Tractors without Premium Plus cab:
To switch on the PTO, lift up the switch button and turn it to the right. To switch off the PTO, press the button down.

Tractors with Premium Plus cab:
To switch on the PTO, press the lever down and then forward. To switch off the PTO, pull the lever back.

NOTE: If the engine is shut off while the PTO is running and then restarted, the PTO will not re-engage. Even so, lights (A) and (B) remain on. Switch off PTO and then restart.

On tractors with AutoPowr, an acoustic alarm warns the operator if he leaves his seat while the PTO is still running.

If the front PTO is not required for a lengthy period, the PTO gear can be disengaged by means of lever (A), thus preventing the gear train components from turning unnecessarily.

To turn the gear train off, pull lever (A) up; to switch it on, push the lever down.

IMPORTANT: Engage PTO gear only when the engine is shut off.
