Using Mechanical Front-Wheel Drive (MFWD)-Electro-Hydraulic Control with Auto Engage and Brake Assist (If Equipped)
When driving on icy, wet or graveled surfaces, reduce speed and be sure tractor is properly ballasted to avoid skidding and loss of steering control. For best control under adverse conditions, engage mechanical front wheel drive (if equipped). IMPORTANT: Use AUTO or BRAKE ASSIST positions when transporting tractor, not full time ON mode. NOTE: MFWD indicator (B) lights whenever front wheel drive is engaged. MFWD can be engaged and disengaged in all gears (forward and reverse) during operation and under full load. Switch (A) has three operating positions: Center ON Position-Engages MFWD full time. Top AUTO Position-MFWD automatically disengages when either brake pedal is pressed or if speed exceeds 14 km/h (8.6 mph). MFWD automatically re-engages when brakes are released and speed is below 14 km/h (8.6 mph). Bottom BRAKE ASSIST Position-MFWD engages when BOTH brake pedals are depressed. |

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