Four-Wheel Drive
The four wheel drive switch controls the four-
wheel drive system. The indicator light comes
on when the switch is pressed and four wheel
drive is activated.
It is normal for front wheels to lose traction and
spin out before the rear wheels in most
conditions. In extremely muddy conditions, it
may be necessary to apply both brakes
momentarily to increase hydrostatic pressure
to the 4WD motors.
When the drive is engaged, these approximate
reductions in ground speed occur:
• First gear – 20%
• Second gear – 30%
• Third gear – 50%
CAUTION
Ground speed decreases when 4WD is
engaged
and increases when 4WD is
disengaged.
IMPORTANT!
To prevent damage to the
hydrostatic system, do NOT switch the
4WD on or off while driving in third gear
(road gear) at high speed. The hydrostatic
lever must be no higher than number 4
when you shift 4WD on or off. If you are
driving the c
ombine in conditions which
cause high pressures in the hydrostatic
system and the combine slows down or
stops, move the hydrostatic lever to neutral
and shift to a lower gear.
