Use Caution on Hillsides

• To improve braking on sloped, icy, wet or graveled surfaces, engage the MFWD. Add ballast to the tractor and travel at a reduced speed to avoid skidding and loss of steering control.
• Hitch towed loads only to drawbar. When using a chain, take up the slack slowly.
• Shift to a low gear before descending a steep hill to improve your control with little or no braking.
• Use engine braking to reduce speed before applying tractor brakes.
• Avoid holes, ditches, and obstructions that could cause the tractor to over turn.
• Avoid sharp, uphill turns.
• Drive up and down a hill-not across.
• Avoid starting, stopping or turning on a slope. If the tires lose traction, disengage PTO and proceed slowly, straight down the slope.
• Back out of a ditch or steep slop, if possible. Drive forward from such situations could cause the tractor to tip over rearward.
