A - EH MFWD Switch

B - MFWD Indicator

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

CAUTION: Mechanical front wheel drive greatly increases traction, it does not increase the stability of the tractor. With MFWD engaged, the tractor can climb steeper slopes but it does not become more stable. The possibility of a tip-over increases with MFWD. Use extra caution on slopes.

When driving on icy, wet, or graveled surfaces, reduce speed and properly ballast tractor 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:

  1. Center ON position engages MFWD full time.

  2. Top AUTO position disengages MFWD automatically 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).

  3. Bottom BRAKE ASSIST position engages MFWD when BOTH brake pedals are depressed.
