Use front-wheel drive as required for better traction.

CAUTION: Front-wheel drive greatly increases traction. When this option is used, extra caution is needed on slopes. Compared to 2-wheel drive, a front-wheel drive tractor maintains traction on steeper slopes, increasing the possibility of a tip over.

When driving on icy, wet or graveled surfaces, reduce speed and make sure that tractor is properly ballasted to avoid skidding and loss of steering control. For best control, engage front-wheel drive (if equipped).

IMPORTANT: To extend tire life, engage front-wheel drive only when needed. DO NOT engage front-wheel drive when driving at high speed on public roads.

IMPORTANT: The front-wheel drive can be engaged and disengaged in all gears (forward and reverse), on-the-go and under load without using the clutch. Anticipate the need for front-wheel drive, make sure neither rear wheel is slipping then engage or disengage when minimum torque is being used and the tractor is moving slowly.

Press the front-wheel drive switch (B) in position (C) to engage and in position (D) to disengage front-wheel drive. Indicator light (3) will glow when front-wheel drive is engaged.

NOTE: When the brakes are applied, front-wheel drive cuts in automatically regardless of the position selected at the front-wheel drive switch. In this case the indicator light (3) does not come on.

Keeping pressed the switch (B) longer than 3 sec, allows the front-wheel drive to be engaged permanently, independently from vehicle speed and brakes usage. In this case the message "4WD ON" appears on the digital display for about 3 seconds; the indicator (3) will glow until front-wheels drive will be disengaged.
