OPERATING THE TRACTOR28
OPERATING TECHNIQUES
BDifferential Lock
To avoid personal injury or death due to loss of
steering control:
A Do not operate the tractor at high speed with
differential lock engaged.
A Do not attempt to turn with the differential lock
engaged.
A Be sure to release the differential lock before
making a turn in field conditions.
If one of the rear wheels should slip, step on the
differential lock pedal. Both wheels will turn together, then
reduce slippage.
Differential lock is maintained only while the pedal is
depressed.
A When using the differential lock, always slow the
engine down.
A To prevent damage to power train, do not engage
differential lock when one wheel is spinning and the
other is completely stopped.
A If the differential lock cannot be released in the above
manner, step lightly on the brake pedals alternately.
BOperating the Tractor on a Road
To avoid personal injury or death:
A To help assure straight line stops when driving
at transport speeds, lock the brake pedals
together. Uneven braking at road speeds could
cause the tractor to roll-over.
A When traveling on road with 3-point hitch
mounted implement attached, be sure to have
sufficient front weight on the tractor to
maintain steering ability. (See "BALLAST"
section.)
A Towed equipment (without brake) must not
exceed 1.5 times the tractor weight when
traveling on roads or at high speeds.
Be sure SMV emblem and hazard light are clean and
visible. If towed or rear-mounted equipment obstructs
these safety devices, install SMV emblem and hazard
light on equipment.
Consult your local KUBOTA dealer for further detail.
