causym CAUTION: Avoid personal injury or death from losing control of tractor. When driving tractor on roads:

  • Couple brake pedals together

  • Reduce speed when driving on icy, wet or graveled surfaces

  • Disengage MFWD before operating tractor

  • Ballast tractor correctly

Mechanical front-wheel drive can be engaged and disengaged in all gears (forward and reverse), on-the-go and under load, without using the clutch.

Besides the "On" and "Off" functions, this system also has an "Automatic" position. When "Automatic" is selected, front wheel drive switches itself off automatically whenever tractor speed exceeds 23 km/h (14.3 mph).

When tractor speed drops below 21 km/h (13 mph), MFWD switches itself on automatically again.

NOTE: When both brakes are applied, MFWD engages automatically regardless of position of MFWD switch. The MFWD indicator light will come on.
