MECHANICAL FRONT DRIVE (MFD) OPERATION
The MFD can be engaged while the tractor is
moving or stopped. The MFD provides additional
traction and pulling power when engaged.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT leave the MFD engaged
when travelling faster than 16 km/h (10 mph)
(except when in the field) as this can cause
damage to the MFD and other transmission
components as well as premature tyre wear.

The MFD indicator light (2) on the instrument
cluster will illuminate.
The indicator light in on the instrument cluster will
go off.
WARNING: On electrically operated MFD
tractors, the MFD clutch is spring loaded
into engagement and relies on hydraulic
pressure for disengagement. A failure in
the MFD hydraulic system will therefore
automatically engage the MFD even
though the MFD switch is in the
disengaged position. This is a built in safety
feature. DO NOT operate MFD tractor
transmissions with the rear wheels off the
ground or removed, UNLESS THE FRONT
WHEELS ARE ALSO JACKED UP CLEAR
OF THE GROUND OR THE FRONT AXLE
DRIVE SHAFT IS DISCONNECTED.
Failure to do this can result in the tractor
being pulled off the rear supports by the
front axle.
The MFD switch has three
positions:
I = ON, MANUAL
O = OFF
AUTO = AUTOMATIC
MODE
To engage MFD
press the top of the
switch fully down to
the ON (I) position.
