DIFFERENTIAL LOCK CONTROL
Your tractor is equipped with a differential lock that
will make both rear wheels turn at the same speed.
The differential lock prevents loss of motion when
the traction to the rear wheels is not equal. When
the traction of one rear wheel decreases, or any
time you need more traction, engage the
differential lock.
It also provides a straight line steering aid when
opening up the field and to control implement
overlap.
The differential lock can be engaged manually or
can be set to engage automatically.

The differential lock indicator light (2) on the
instrument cluster will illuminate any time the
differential lock is engaged.
To DISENGAGE the differential lock, push one or
both brake pedals down.
IMPORTANT: When you engage or disengage the
differential lock, the front wheels must be in the
STRAIGHT FORWARD position. Disengage the
differential lock before turning the tractor.
WARNING: Do not drive on roads, or at
high speed anywhere, with the differential
lock engaged. Difficult steering will occur,
and can result in an accident. In field
operation, use the differential lock for
traction improvement, but release for
turning at row ends.
