Towing Tractor

AGCPTJD0431-UN-02NOV15

CAUTION: NEVER tow tractor faster than 16 km/h (10 mph). Have an operator steer and brake tractor.

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

IMPORTANT: To prevent damage to the transmission/hydraulic system, observe the following precautions:

1. Be sure transmission/hydraulic system oil is to the full mark on the dipstick (A). If the tractor is to be towed with the front wheels raised, add 1 liter of oil for each 9 cm (3-1/2 in.) the wheels are raised. DO NOT raise front wheels more than 30 cm (12 in.) above ground.

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

2. Make sure the differential lock is disengaged.

3. Make sure range and gear shift levers are in neutral.

IMPORTANT: If the engine is capable of running, switch off front-wheel drive. If the engine is not capable of running, disconnect the universal-jointed drive shaft; this prevents excessive wear on the tires.

IMPORTANT: The jaw hitch at the front weights may be used for towing on metalled roads only.
