Automatic Mode
The Automatic MFD engagement or
disengagement is determined by the hitch
position, brake application and travel speed.
Operation in automatic mode with hitch
mounted implements
The MFD will disengage if:
A. The hitch reaches the upper third of the hitch
travel.
OR
B. Travel speed exceeds 16 km/h (10mph).
The MFD will re-engage when:
A. The hitch is lowered below the upper third of
hitch travel [with the travel speed below 13
km/h (8 mph)].
OR
B. Travel speed drops below 13 km/h (8 mph),
after travelling above 16 km/h (10 mph).
Operation in automatic mode with pull
type implements:
If the automatic mode is required when using
drawbar pulled implements it is recommended to
use a remote implement switch connected to the
tractor wiring harness, see page 113 for more
infomation.
NOTE: If a remote implement switch is not used,
before engaging the automatic mode set the hitch
to TRANSPORT position and the hitch Up/Down
switch in the UP position.
The MFD will disengage when:
A. The implement reaches “UP” position, (if
implement switch is connected).
OR
B. Travel speed exceeds 16 km/h (10mph) *.
The MFD will engage or re-engage when:
A. The implement reaches “DOWN” position
and travel speed has not exceeded 16 km/
h (10 mph), (only applicable if implement
switch is connected).
OR
B. Travel speed drops below 13 km/h (8 mph),
after travelling above 16 km/h (10 mph).
MFD Assisted Stops
MFD will engage whenever both brake pedals
are applied together, no matter what position the
MFD switch is in giving 4 wheel braking. This
feature allows a safer and controlled stop.
When both brake pedals are applied together the
MFD indicator lamp on the instrument cluster will
illuminate.
To engage
Automatic mode
