Y
our tractor has a dif
ferential lock that will make both rear wheels turn at
the same speed. The dif
ferential lock prevents loss of power when one
wheel does not have traction but the other wheel does have traction. It
also provides a straight in line steering aid when opening up the field and
to control implement overlap.
TO ENGAGE THE DIFFERENTIAL LOCK:
Depress and hold the dif
ferential lock pedal down.
IMPORT
ANT
:
Do not engage the dif
ferential lock while one rear wheel
is rotating and the other rear wheel is stopped. Always stop the wheel
that
is rotating and then engage the dif
ferential lock.
IMPORT
ANT
:
When you engage or disengage the dif
ferential lock, the
