Towing Tractor

IMPORTANT: Avoid damaging transmission-hydraulic system by observing the following precautions:

NEVER ATTEMPT TO START TRACTOR BY TOWING. Engine will not start, and transmission might be damaged.

If possible, operate engine at 1600 rpm to provide lubrication, power steering and power brakes. Have an operator steer and brake tractor.

causym CAUTION: Avoid personal injury or death. Disconnect MFWD drive shaft (A) if towing tractor with front wheels on a carrier. Loss of electrical power or transmission-hydraulic system pressure will engage the MFWD and pull tractor off carrier, even with switch in the DISENGAGED position.

IMPORTANT: Do not tow a tractor faster than 16 km/h (10 mph).

When towing tractor with POWERSHIFT transmission (engine stopped), at temperatures below 0°C (32°F), DO NOT exceed 3 km/h (2 mph) for the first ten minutes.

Check transmission-hydraulic oil level. Level in sight glass (B) must be between the marks. (See Lubrication Section.)

If towing with front wheels off ground, add 4 L (1 gal) for each 152 mm (6 in.) wheels are raised. DO NOT raise front wheels more than 305 mm (12 in.).

NOTE: After transporting tractor, drain oil that was added.

Tap brake pedals to make sure differential lock is not engaged.
