Operating Tractor with Independent Link Suspension

Start Up Mode

After engine start up, front suspension will move when transmission shift lever is placed into a forward or reverse gear.

Transmission Shifting

Each time the shift lever is moved from NEUTRAL into a forward or reverse gear the suspension will move establishing a mid-point position. Leveling is completed when tractor wheel speed is above 0.5 km/h (0.3 mph).

Operating Characteristics

Unrestricted Suspension Damping:

NOTE: Left and right suspension cylinders operate independently and will hydraulically adjust through sensors and controllers.

  • Wheel speed is above 0.5 km/h (0.3 mph)

Restricted Suspension Damping:

  • 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

Brakes:

  • Operator applies both brake pedals
  • Front brakes applied using secondary hand brake lever. (See using Secondary Brakes in this section.)

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.
