HydraCushion™ Front Axle Suspension

HydraCushion™ Front Axle Suspension can be set to two different firmness levels and a manual position option: “AUTO” (A), “MAX” (B), and “Manual” (C).

Suspended front axle engages whenever tractor travel speed exceeds 0.5 km/h (0.3 mph). Control after tractor begins moving is delayed. Suspension is active anytime tractor is not in park.

• If “AUTO” (A) is selected, suspension reacts in response to surrounding conditions and events. Provides best possible comfort by looking at inputs such as travel speed, surface characteristics, implement weight, implement usage, and braking activity.
• If “MAX” (B) is selected, suspension is set to maximum hardness (e.g. for operation with a front mounted dozer blade). When travel speed exceeds 30 km/h (18 mph), “MAX” setting is deactivated. When travel speed drops below 20 km/h (12 mph), “MAX” setting is reactivated.
• If “Manual” (C) is selected, operator is able to adjust chassis height by pressing raise button (D) or lower button (E). Manual setting is overridden when travel speed exceeds 5 km/h (3 mph). When overridden, system returns to previously active mode.

Start Up Mode

• HydraCushion™ Suspension does not move until placed into either forward or reverse gear.
• HydraCushion™ suspension flexes when transmission shift lever is placed in NEUTRAL or any forward or reverse gear.
• If tractor has settled, HydraCushion™ Suspension may rise about 25 mm (1 in.) seeking to center.
• Leveling is completed when tractor wheel speed is above 0.5 km/h (0.3 mph).

HydraCushion™ Suspension in Locked Conditions (Restricted Mode)

• Operator activates hitch raise/lower switch
• Transmission shift lever placed in PARK
• Wheel speed less than 0.5 km/h (0.3 mph)
• Correcting for unlevel condition
• Operator applies both brake pedals

Hitch

• Control units limit suspension response when hitch is raised or lowered with load sense front weight changes
• Depressing clutch and moving transmission shift lever into gear for four seconds and then back to NEUTRAL adjusts suspension toward mid-point. This can be repeated until tractor levels when attaching and detaching implements.

Parking Tractor

IMPORTANT: Prevent possible damage. Do not park tractor with equipment or items under front end of tractor.

• Front end can settle when tractor is parked. Keep front end of tractor away from equipment or other items.
