Towing the Tractor

Never tow a tractor at a speed greater than 16 km/h (9.9 mph). Ask an experienced operator to drive and brake the tractor.

To prevent serious transmission damage, take the following precautions:

Be sure transmission/hydraulic system oil level is at maximum level mark on dipstick (A).

If towing tractor with front wheels raised, increase oil by 1 L (0.26 U.S.gal.) for every 90 mm (3.54 in.) that wheels are raised. Do not raise front wheels more than 305 mm (12 in.) above ground.

If it is necessary to tow a tractor uphill or to free a mired machine under application of great traction force, install pin (B) to drawbar and use it for towing.

• Make sure that differential lock is disengaged.
• Be sure that front-wheel drive is disengaged.
• Be sure that gearbox and range box are in neutral.

After transportation of tractor, remove oil added for towing.

Do not tow tractor at more than 16 km/h if oil temperature is lower than 0°C (32°F).
