A - 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 increase 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: To extend tire life, engage mechanical front-wheel drive only when needed. DO NOT engage when driving on hard surfaces.

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

MFWD can be engaged and disengaged in all gears (forward and reverse) during operation and under full load. Switch (A) has two operating positions:

  • ON (top half pressed down): MFWD engaged. Indicator (B) will light when MFWD is engaged.
  • OFF (bottom half pressed down): MFWD disengages. Indicator (B) will go off when MFWD is disengaged.
