OPERATING THE INDEPENDENT FRONT SUSPENSION
(If Equipped)
MD05M028
With Independent Front Suspension each wheel
acts independently for continuous contact on the
ground, to give improved ride comfort both in the
field or during road travel.
NOTE: Always turn the axle suspension mode OFF
when operating the tractor on inclines.
In addition, front axle ground clearance can be
manually adjusted to match working conditions at
the touch of a button.
Independent Front Suspension is operated with the
use of 2 rocker switches, a suspension mode
switch and a manual override switch.
