SECTION 2 -- CONTROLS, INSTRUMENTS AND OPERATION
2--39
MECHANICALLY CONTROLLED FOUR--WHEEL DRIVE
USING FOUR--WHEEL DRIVE
Front--wheel drive can increase the tractor’s grip on
the surface; the benefits of this are particularly
noticeable when working on uneven, muddy or
slippery surfaces, on ploughed ground or in difficult
conditions.
Front--wheel drive engagement / disengagement is
carried out by means of lever (1) fig. 68 when the
tractor moving slowly and preferably at the low
speeds of the engine.
Avoid carrying out this operation under stress. If the
maneouvre proves to be difficult with the tractor
moving in a straight line, keeping the lever in
engaged position, slightly turn the steering wheel in
both directions until the control mechanism engaged.
CAUTION
Do not use front wheel drive on hard surfaces to
prevent premature wear to the front tyres. Abnormal
tyre wear can also be caused by incorrect tyre
pressures.
