Automatic traction control
Automatic traction control is useful in traffic and for example on jobs where you
have to stop the tractor and at the same time use power take-off (PTO).
When using the automatic traction control the traction is controlled with the
accelerator pedal, hand throttle or brake pedal. In many working conditions, for
example hydraulic implements can be used at low engine speeds when the
traction control is engaged.
Automatic traction control has four functions: standby, engaged, disengaged and
OFF.
