Towing the Tractor

LX1049905-UN-17FEB11

CAUTION: Never tow the tractor faster than 10 km/h (6 mph).

When the engine is not running, more force is required to turn the steering wheel and pedal travel is longer (no hydraulic assistance).

Shift both range and reverse drive lever to neutral position.

Make sure that the transmission oil level is between the marks on the sight-glass. 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 liters (1 U.S. gal.) of transmission/hydraulic oil to the transmission.
• When towing is completed, drain the excess oil.

IMPORTANT: If the engine is capable of running, switch off front-wheel drive. If the engine is not capable of 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 hard-surfaced roads only.
