DUAL WHEELS
- Dual front or rear wheels can be used for reducing soil
compaction during surface work.
- Tractor ballasting must not exceed the values shown in
chapter "K".
- Tyre pressures must the minimum shown by the manufacturer.
- Working speed when using dual wheels is usually fairly fast;
nevertheless, if you have to work at less than 6 km/h carry out
the preliminary testing shown below.
Important:
Front dualling: When dualled front wheels of the tractor are
fitted, adjust the steering stops before using the tractor (they
may touch). To do this, refer to the steering stop adjustment
procedure in this chapter.
PRELIMINARY TESTING
- Choose a gear which allows a forward speed of at least
6 km/h at rated engine speed.
- Adjust forward speed by reducing engine speed but without
dropping below 1 500 rpm.
- Adjust the working depth using the TCE lift.
- If the work can be carried out in these conditions (stable
engine speed and acceptable wheel spin), choose a ratio
which allows working at the required forward speed for an
engine speed between 1 800 rpm and the rated speed.
- If the work cannot be carried out (engine stalls or excessive
wheel slip) reduce the implement's resistive effort by reducing
the depth or width of working.
USING DEEP-WORKING
IMPLEMENTS
Subsoilers,subsoilers and ditchers and trench ploughs always
work at great depth.
Their design requires great tractive effort and often causes
considerable overloading which in the long term can damage
your tractor.
To use your tractor normally:
- Tractor ballasting must not exceed the values shown in
chapter "K".
- Tyre pressures must match those shown by the manufacturers
for the load being carried.
- If you have to work at less than 6 km/h carry out a preliminary
test.
