Operating Tractor with Independent Link Suspension

Start Up Mode

  • No noticeable difference until shifted from PARK.
  • Independent Link suspension flexes when transmission shift lever is placed in NEUTRAL or any forward or reverse gear.
  • If tractor has settled, Independent Link Suspension may rise about 25 mm (1 in.) seeking to center.
  • Leveling is completed when tractor wheel speed is above 0.5 km/h (0.3 mph).

Operating Characteristics

Independent Link Suspension Unrestricted Mode

  • when above speed of 0.5 km/h (0.3 mph) and restricted mode conditions are not present.
  • Front suspension cylinders work together.
  • Cylinders will hydraulically adjust through sensors and controllers.

Independent Link Suspension Restricted Mode

  • Operator activates hitch raise/lower switch
  • Transmission shift lever placed in PARK
  • Wheel speed less than 0.5 km/h (0.3 mph)
  • While correcting for an out of level condition
  • Operator applies both brake pedals

Rear Hitch:

  • Controllers limit suspension response when hitch is raised or lowered with a load since front weight changes
  • Depressing the clutch and moving transmission shift lever into gear for four seconds and then back to NEUTRAL adjusts suspension toward the mid-point. This can be repeated until tractor levels when attaching and detaching implements.

Parking Tractor:

IMPORTANT: Prevent possible damage. Do not park tractor with equipment or items under the front end of tractor.

  • Front end can settle when tractor is parked. Keep front end of tractor away from equipment or other items.
