Operating The Mechanical Front Wheel Drive

Use mechanical front wheel drive (MFWD) as required for better traction

CAUTION: Mechanical front wheel drive greatly increase traction. When this option is used extra caution is needed on slopes. Compared to two wheel drive a mechanical front wheel drive traction maintains traction on steeper roads, increasing the possibilities of tip over

When driving on icey, wet, graveled surfaces, reduce speed and be sure tractor is properly ballasted to avoid skidding and loss of steering controls, engage mechanical front wheel drive.

IMPORTANT: To extend tire life engage mechanical front wheel drive when needed. Do not engage when driving on hard surface

DO NOT install tire chains on tractor front wheels, chains will strike and damage tractor.

To prevent transmission damge, DO NOT engage or disengage mechanical front wheel drive on the go.

Depress clutch pedal & stop tractor before engaging or disengaging MFWD. Push shift lever forward to engage & pull lever back to disengage MFWD
