(1) Differential lock pedal
(A) Press to “ENGAGE”
(B) Release to “DISENGAGE”
IMPORTANT :
• When using the differential lock, always slow
the engine down.
• To prevent damage to the powertrain, do not
engage the differential lock when one wheel is
spinning and the other is completely stopped.
• If the differential lock cannot be released, step
lightly on the brake pedals alternately.
2. Operating the tractor on a road
WARNING
To avoid personal injury or death:
• To help assure straight line stops when driving
at transport speeds, lock the brake pedals
together. Uneven braking at road speeds could
cause the tractor to roll-over.
• When traveling on the road with a 3-point hitch
mounted implement attached, be sure to have
sufficient front weight on the tractor to maintain
steering ability.
• When traveling on the road with or without a
trailer, you must comply with local regulations
at all time.
The maximum traveling speed with trailer is
determined by each country, and regulated
speeds may vary according to the size of the
trailer and the type of trailer brake system.
Be sure the SMV emblem and warning lamps are clean
and visible. If towed or rear-mounted equipment
obstructs these safety devices, install the SMV emblem
and warning lamps on the equipment.
Consult your local KUBOTA Dealer for further details.

3. Operating on slopes and rough
terrain
WARNING
To avoid personal injury or death:
• Always back up when going up a steep slope.
Driving forward could cause the tractor to tip
over backward. Stay off hills and slopes too
steep for safe operation.
• Avoid changing gears when climbing or
descending a slope.
• If operating on a slope, never disengage the
clutch or shift levers to neutral. Doing so could
cause loss of control.
• Do not drive the tractor close to the edges of
ditches or banks which may collapse under the
weight of the tractor, especially when the
ground is loose or wet.
1. Be sure wheel tread is adjusted to provide
maximum stability.
(See WHEEL ADJUSTMENT on page 87.)
2. Slow down for slopes, rough ground, and sharp
turns, especially when transporting heavy, rear-
mounted equipment.
3. Before descending a slope, shift to a gear low
enough to control the speed without using brakes.
4. Transporting the tractor safely
1. The tractor, if damaged, must be carried on a truck.
Secure the tractor tightly with ropes.
2. Follow the instructions below when towing the
tractor. Otherwise, the tractor's powertrain may be
damaged.
• Set all the shift levers to
“NEUTRAL”
position.
• If possible, start the engine and select 2WD; if
creep speed is fitted, ensure that it is
disengaged.
• Tow the tractor using its front hitch or drawbar.
• Never tow faster than 10 km/h (6.2 mph).
