SECTION 3 -- FIELD OPERATION
3--33
FRONT P.T.O. AND THREE--POINT HITCH
(where fitted)
T ractors with four wheel drive may be equipped with
an engine-driven P.T.O. and front hydraulic lift.
These features are available as a factory installed
option or dealer installed accessory.
FRONT P.T.O.
The front power take--off (P.T.O.) transfers engine
power directly to front-mounted equipment via a 6
spline shaft. The P.T.O. shaft rotates anti-clockwise
(as viewed from the f ront).
NOTE: A 21 spline shaft is available as a dealer
installed accessory.
A plastic cap (1) is provided over the P.T.O. shaft. Pull
the cap to remove.
NOTE: With the engine stopped, the P.T.O. brake is
released and the shaft may be turned by hand to aid
implement shaft alignment.
The front P.T.O. is electro--hydraulically operated
and is activated by a selector knob on the right-hand
console, similar to the rear P.T.O.

With the engine running at 1000 rev/min. or less,
press the knob (1) and lift the collar (3) and knob up
to engage the P.T.O. The knob will remain up while
the P.T.O. is engaged and the adjacent warning light
(2) will be illuminated. Open the throttle to increase
engine speed to 2120 rev/min and provide a P.T.O.
shaft speed of 1000 rev/min. To disengage the
P.T.O., press the P.T.O. selector knob (1), down.
NOTE: If the engine is stopped, the P.T.O. will not
operate when the engine is restarted until the P.T.O.
knob is reset. Return the selector knob manually to
the ‘off’ position (by pressing the knob down) then
re-engage the P.T.O., as previously described.
DANGER
To avoid inadvertent movement of the implement,
disengage the P.T.O. after each use.
