OPERATOR’S MANUAL
Electro-Magnetic Compatibility (EMC)

This tractor complies strictly with the European Regulations on electro-magnetic emissions.
However, interference may arise as a result of add-on equipment which may not necessarily meet
the required standards. As such interference can result in serious malfunction of the unit and/or
create unsafe situations, you must observe the following:

z Ensure that each piece of non-Case IH equipment fitted to the tractor bears the CE mark.

z The maximum power of emission equipment (radio, telephones, etc.) must not exceed the limits
imposed by the national authorities of the country where you use the tractor.

z The electro-magnetic field generated by the add-on system should not exceed 24 V/m at any
time and at any location in the proximity of electronic components.

Failure to comply with these rules will render the Case IH warranty null and void.

than pure petrol. Do not use these blends.
2. Never remove the fuel cap or refuel with the
engine running or hot.

3. Do not smoke while refuelling the tractor or


when standing near fuel. Keep any type of open
flame away.
4. Maintain control of the fuel filler pipe nozzle
when filling the tank.
5. Do not fill the fuel tank to capacity. Fill only to
the bottom of the filler neck to allow room for
the fuel to expand.
6. Wipe up spilled fuel immediately.
7. Always tighten the fuel tank cap securely.
8. If the original fuel tank cap is lost, replace it with

exclusion may be achieved by operating the blower
at maximum fan speed.

2 - 10
SECTION 2 - LAYOUT AND FUNCTION OF THE CONTROLS AND INSTRUMENTS

Adjustable air vent


Adjustable air vents are provided throughout the
cab for even distribution of heated or cooled air.
Vents are located each side of the driver’s seat and
on the instrument console. Each vent may be
independently adjusted to direct the air flow (with
the blower control actuated) onto the side windows
or the driver. The two vents located on the upper
part of the instrument console may be adjusted to

Lift the tag on the rectangular vents to open, and
then adjust for air flow and direction as required.

19
Climate Controller
Depress the switch (3) to activate the air
conditioning compressor and lower the temperature
of the air within the cab. The air conditioning will
only operate with the blower (1) switched on.

IMPORTANT: The air conditioning system uses


R134A refrigerant. Do not mix this refrigerant with
other refrigerants.
To quickly reduce in cab temperature operate the 3
air conditioner with the blower speed set to
maximum and the heater control fully off. When the
air has cooled sufficiently, adjust the blower control
to maintain the desired temperature. The windows
and doors should remain closed. 20
Under certain conditions, it may be desirable to
operate both the air conditioning unit and heater
together, e. g., to demist the windscreen and
interior door glass on a cold morning. The air
conditioning, as well as cooling, also removes
moisture from the air. Run the engine to normal
operating temperature, turn the heater temperature
control (2) and blower control (1) to the maximum
settings (fully clockwise). Turn on the air
conditioner (3) and adjust the air vents to direct the
air flow, as required.

2 - 11
SECTION 2 - LAYOUT AND FUNCTION OF THE CONTROLS AND INSTRUMENTS

When the windows are clear, turn the air


conditioning off and adjust the heater controls to
maintain the desired cab air temperature.
IMPORTANT: Run the engine at idle speed for at
least 3 minutes after switching on the air
conditioner, if the air conditioning has been out of
use for more than 30 days.
IMPORTANT: Always turn the air conditioning off
when cooled or de-humified air is not required.
For proper operation of the air conditioning, ensure
that the cab air filters are serviced regularly.
See section 4.

! WARNING !
Before driving or operating the tractor, study the
safety precautions in Section 1 of this Manual.

z Never expose any part of the air conditioner


system to a direct flame or excessive heat
because of the risk of fire or explosion.
z Never disconnect or disassemble any part of
the air conditioner system. Escaping refrigerant
will cause frostbite. Allowing refrigerant to
escape into the atmosphere is illegal in many
countries.
z If refrigerant should contact the skin, use the
same treatment as for frostbite. Warm the area
with your hand or lukewarm water at 32-38 °C
(90-100° F). Cover the area loosely with a
bandage to protect the affected area and to
prevent infection. Consult a doctor immediately.

z If refrigerant should contact the eyes, wash the


eyes immediately with cold water for at least
5 minutes. Consult a doctor immediately.
NOTE: It is the normal function of the air
conditioning to extract water from the air. Drain
hoses lead from the air conditioner unit to a point
beneath the cab. Do not be concerned if a pool of
water collects beneath the drain hose outlets when
the engine is stopped.

2 - 12
SECTION 2 - LAYOUT AND FUNCTION OF THE CONTROLS AND INSTRUMENTS

Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) (where fitted)


Automatic Control
With Automatic Temperature Control the the driver
can set the temperature inside the cab to maintain
a comfortable working environment.
By automatically adjusting the output of the heating
and air conditioning systems, ATC will provide a
stable cab temperature between 16 °C (61 °F) and
32 °C (90 °F).
The blower control switch (1) has five positions:
OFF, ATC and three blower speeds. With ATC
selected, the speed of the blower fan is controlled
automatically.
To set the cab interior temperature, align the mark
on the control knob (2) with the desired figure.
If required, the control can be set to the
intermediate positions between the figures to
provide additional temperature levels. 21
If the temperature in the cab remains within 1.1 °C
(2 °F) of that set on the control, the blower fan will
maintain a low speed. As the differential between
the control setting and the in-cab temperature
increases, the blower speed will be raised to
re-stabilise the temperature.
Selecting “HI” or “LO” on the temperature control
will override the automatic system to provide a
maximum heating or cooling effect.
Manual Control
To manually set the cab temperature, switch the
blower control to position I, II or III and select a
suitable setting on the temperature control. This will
disable the ATC function.
Although the in cab temperature will be maintained
within limits, it will not be as efficient as ATC.
Switching to “LO” will provide maximum air
conditioning output with temperature adjustment
through the blower control only.

2 - 13
SECTION 2 - LAYOUT AND FUNCTION OF THE CONTROLS AND INSTRUMENTS

Economy and Defrost Switch


The economy and defrost switch has three
positions:
1. Left side depressed. ECONomy mode.
2. Central position. ECON and MAX DEF off.
3. Right side depressed. MAX DEFrost on.
When the external air temperature is low, operating
the air conditioning may not be necessary to
maintain a constant temperature inside the cab.
To turn off the air conditioning, depress the ECON
side of the switch.
NOTE: The air conditioning compressor uses
engine power to drive it. Turning off the air 22
conditioning when not required will aid fuel economy.
The cab temperature will be maintained within the
specified limits unless the external air temperature
rises above that set on the control. Should this
occur, select the central switch position to turn on
the air conditioning.
In very cold conditions where the outside of the cab
windows become covered in ice, depress the MAX
DEF side of the switch. This will automatically set
the heater temperature to maximum, activate the
air conditioning (if not already switched on) and
select the highest speed setting on the blower fan.
This function may also be used to clear heavy
misting on the inside of the cab windows.

2 - 14
SECTION 2 - LAYOUT AND FUNCTION OF THE CONTROLS AND INSTRUMENTS

Air Recirculation
The cab ventilation system has three filters: two
external filters through which fresh air is drawn into
the cab and one internal air recirculation filter (2).
Move the slider control (1) fully to the right for
maximum air recirculation.

! WARNING !
The cab air filters are designed to remove dust from
the air but will not exclude chemical vapour. Follow
the chemical manufacturer’s directions regarding
protection from hazardous chemicals.

23

Cabair filters
When operating with pesticides, both internal air
filters (recirculation) and external cab air filters (1)
may be replaced with special charcoal filters.
Consult your authorised dealer.

! CAUTION !
Use only genuine Case IH filter elements when
renewing cab air filters. When replacing used filters,
follow local regulations in the disposal of
contaminated elements.

Safety Precautions
24

Although it is possible to pressurise the cab interior


to reduce ingress of chemical vapour, the
recommended safety procedures, as stipulated by
the pesticide manufacturer, should be observed at
all times.
Protective clothing worn when filling the sprayer
with pesticides or when carrying out external
adjustments, should be removed and stored away
carefully before re-entering the tractor cab.
To prevent build-up of chemical residue inside the
cab, the interior trim and floor covering should be
wiped clean with a damp cloth on a regular basis.

2 - 15
SECTION 2 - LAYOUT AND FUNCTION OF THE CONTROLS AND INSTRUMENTS

Cab Pressurisation Monitor (where fitted)


To improve protection against chemical vapours
entering the cab when spraying pesticides, the
blower can be used, in conjunction with active
charcoal filters, to raise the air pressure inside the
cab above that of the external air pressure. Whilst
this pressure differential is maintained, chemical
vapours should not enter the cab. Ensure all cab
apertures are fully closed. To monitor the internal
pressure, a gauge is mounted inside the cab.
Cab Air Pressurisation Gauge
Observe the reading on the pressure gauge. If the
lower edge (1) of the yellow indicator centres in the
green area, you have an adequate pressure
differential between the internal and external air
pressure. Adjust the blower speed to maintain that
reading. If the yellow indicator rises into the red
area, increase blower speed to raise the internal
cab pressure.

! CAUTION !
If, during spray operations, the lower edge of the
yellow indicator enters the red section of the gauge,
carry out the checks below and follow the chemical
manufacturer’s recommendations for safe operation. 25

With the blower in the off position the yellow


indicator should move into the red area. If the
indicator does not register correctly, the gauge
should be replaced before operating with chemical
spray equipment.
If the blower is unable to maintain the correct
pressure inside the cab, then the following checks
should be made to determine the cause of the
problem.
1. Check blower is on maximum speed.
NOTE: If Automatic Temperature Control is
activated, it maybe necessary to switch to manual
control to increase blower speed.
2. Ensure all doors, windows and roof panel are
fully closed.
3. Check external air filters for blockage or
restriction.
4. Examine all cab aperture seals for damage.
5. Check sealing around linkages and levers
where they pass through the cab floor and side
panels.
If, after all the checks have been made the cab
interior pressure cannot be maintained, consult
your authorised dealer.

CALIBRATING THEGROUND SPEED DISPLAY


Should you wish to install alternative rear tyre
equipment that would provide a radius difference of
more than 13 mm (0.5 in), then the electronic
control module should be re-calibrated to display
an accurate ground speed figure. To recalibrate use
one of the following methods:

IMPORTANT: If your tractor is equipped with the


optional slip control feature, then the ground speed
displayed is a true speed, as sensed by the radar
unit. Calibration is therefore not required and the
calibration menu will not be available in for setup.

z Ensure that the tyre pressures are correct for


the load being carried. (See Tyre Load/Inflation
tables in Section 3 of this manual).

z Select a stretch of dry, firm, level ground


(preferably concrete) and carefully measure out
a distance of exactly 100 metres (328 ft). Mark
the start and finish of this measured distance
with a bold chalk line.

ERROR CODES AND WARNINGS


The advanced electronics on your tractor are able
to detect a malfunction or error occurring in key
areas such as engine, transmission, electrical and
hydraulic systems. Should a malfunction or error
occur, the relevant symbol and error code will
appear in the dot matrix display.
NOTE: The warning and advisory symbols are
explained on page 2 - 71, 2 - 75.
This may be accompanied by the illumination of a
warning light and an audible alarm depending on
the severity of the fault. In this case, consult your
authorised dealer.
Active and Non Active Warnings 107
In addition to the error codes previously described,
there are a number of other warning symbols that
may appear in the dot matrix display. These
symbols will be accompanied by either a red
(critical) or amber (non-critical) warning light.
Critical symbols appearing with a red warning light
will remain permanently displayed until the tractor
is stopped and the fault rectified.
Depending on the severity of the fault, non critical
symbols accompanied by the amber light will be
displayed for five seconds before the DMD defaults
to the symbol previously shown. The amber
warning light will continue to illuminate. However, if
the fault is of a simple nature, then the amber light
may go out when the fault code disappears from

offers many automated functions to make changing
gear easier for the driver.
Subject to legal requirements in your country, the
following transmissions are available:
50 km/h transmission.
19 forward gears and 6 reverse gears

IMPORTANT: When travelling at high road speeds


with trailed or semi-mounted equipment attached to
the tractor, ensure the equipment is rated for
50 km/h operation in respect to its construction,
brakes and tyres.

(18th gear cannot be selected) plus optional
10 x 6 creeper range.
Details of creeper gear operation will be found on
page 2 - 91.

IMPORTANT: Tractors with Full Powershift


Transmission cannot be tow started. They must on
no account be towed over longer distances than
from the field to a trailer or lorry. When towing the
tractor, the speed should not exceed 5 km/h
(3.1 MPH) with the engine switched off, or 10 km/h
(6.2 MPH) with the engine running.

GROUND SPEED CHARTS


The tractor’s ground speed may be displayed on
the control panel. If your tractor is equipped with
radar, then the ground speed displayed will be a
true reading. Tractors without radar may due to the
effects of wheel slip, tyre pressures, etc. display a
ground speed that is subject to minor inaccuracies.
See “Calibrating the ground speed display” on page
2 - 51.
The charts starting on page 2 - 93 show the ground
speeds in km/h and MPH. To find the road speed
for your tractor in any given gear ratio, use the
column with your rear tyre size in the heading.

2 - 76
SECTION 2 - LAYOUT AND FUNCTION OF THE CONTROLS AND INSTRUMENTS

Clutch Pedal
A clutch pedal (1) is provided but is not required for
gear changes or forward/reverse shuttle
operations.
The clutch pedal is required only for positioning the
tractor to attach equipment or if operating in
confined spaces when the low ratios do not provide
a slow enough speed, at moderate/low engine
speeds, to give precise control.
NOTE: The clutch pedal incorporates a safety start
device and must be depressed when starting the
tractor engine.

IMPORTANT: To avoid premature wear, do not use 111


the clutch pedal as a footrest.
Powershift control
The Powershift transmission is operated by means
of the Multi-Controller. Depress the switch (1) to
upshift through the gears, depress the switch (3) to
downshift. Changes can be made on the move,
even when performing operations such as
ploughing, etc.
A digital display (2) indicates both forward and
reverse gear ratios. It is not necessary to depress
the clutch pedal when upshifting or downshifting. 1

112
You can adjust the armrest to the most comfortable
position. Loosen the clamp knob (1), move the
control to the most comfortable position by rotating
left or right, or by extending the arm forwards or
backwards. Tighten the knob securely to clamp the
armrest in the new position.
Grasp the armrest at the front and rear then lift or
lower the complete assembly. Re-tighten the clamp
knob securely.

113

2 - 77
SECTION 2 - LAYOUT AND FUNCTION OF THE CONTROLS AND INSTRUMENTS

Shuttle lever
Selection of forward or reverse travel is by means
of an electrically operated shuttle lever on the left of
the steering wheel. The lever is spring-loaded to
the neutral position to prevent inadvertent
movement. It is not necessary to depress the clutch
pedal when actuating the shuttle lever.
Press the Neutral switch to shift the transmission
into NEUTRAL.
NOTE: If the shuttle lever is moved to the forward
or reverse position with the parking brake engaged, 1
an audible alarm will be heard
NOTE: To select forward or reverse drive, the
operator must be in the tractor seat. If the shuttle 114
lever or a transmission lever is inadvertently moved
from the neutral position without the operator in the
seat, one of the following actions must be taken to
re-enable drive:
With the operator in the seat and the shuttle lever in
neutral, depress and release the clutch pedal.
OR
Release the parking brake with the shuttle lever in
the neutral position.

! WARNING !
To prevent inadvertent tractor movement, always
place all gear shift levers in neutral and firmly apply
the parking brake before stopping the engine and
leaving the tractor. The transmission will not
prevent the tractor from rolling when the engine is
shut off.

NOTE: When operating in low temperatures,


upshifting may be restricted to the lower gears, until
the transmission oil temperature reaches 10 °C
(50 °F). Restricted upshifting will be accompanied
by the warning “CL” in the digital transmission
display. With cold transmission oil, avoid shuttle
operations, as far as practicable, until the oil has
warmed up.

2 - 78
SECTION 2 - LAYOUT AND FUNCTION OF THE CONTROLS AND INSTRUMENTS

Driving the Tractor


Start the engine with the shuttle lever in neutral and
the clutch pedal depressed. The LCD on the
instrument panel will display “N”. This will be
repeated in transmission gear display by a frame
surrounding the “N” (for neutral) symbol. The figure
“7” will also appear in the gear display. (When the
tractor is initially started, the transmission will
automatically select 7th gear).
NOTE: Neutral start switches prevent operation of
the starting motor unless the shuttle lever is in
neutral and the clutch pedal depressed.

115
For forward travel, with the engine idling, pull the
shuttle lever (1) toward the steering wheel, against
light spring-pressure, and move it up. The frame
around the “N” will move up to enclose the forward
direction symbol. Each time the shuttle lever is
operated, the “frame” will move to highlight the
forward, neutral or reverse symbol.

116
Once the tractor is moving, select the required ratio
with the upshift button (1) or downshift button (3), 2
as previously described. An example of the display
that you will see is shown at, where the upper
tractor symbol indicates forward and “10” indicates 1
that 10th gear is selected. The LCD segment for
10th gear will also be displayed.
An alternative lower or higher ratio may be
preselected before pulling away. However, if a ratio
higher than 12 is selected then the electronic
control will select 12, this being the highest ratio
permissible when pulling away from a standstill. 3

117

2 - 79
SECTION 2 - LAYOUT AND FUNCTION OF THE CONTROLS AND INSTRUMENTS

If, for example, 15th gear is selected before pulling


away, the 15th gear segment will flash and the 12th
gear segment will be steady. The tractor will pull
away in 12th gear and change up, sequentially, to
the selected gear as engine load, engine speed
and road speed are optimised. The segments for
13th and 14th gears will appear, as these ratios are
automatically selected. As soon as the required
gear is engaged, then the 15th gear segment will
stop flashing and become steady.
NOTE: In very cold conditions it may be necessary
to allow the transmission oil to warm up before
attempting to shift into the higher gears. Should this
occur, a warning symbol will appear in the dot
matrix display. When the symbol disappears from
the display, the transmission will function normally.
Further details can be found on page 3 - 6.
To reverse the direction of travel, reduce engine
speed, pull the shuttle lever (1) toward the steering
wheel, then move it down.
NOTE: When changing from forward to reverse
travel, the nearest available ratio will be selected.
As there are six ratios available in reverse, the
ground speed in reverse gear may be different to
the speed in the selected forward gear.

2

118
When performing shuttle operations in a high gear,
for example forward F15, when the shuttle lever is
moved to the reverse position, the transmission will
select the highest available ratio in reverse (R6).
When the shuttle lever is moved forward again,
ratio (F12) will be selected and the F12 segment
will appear in the display.

Lowest auto gear - 19 (50 km/h transmission)
Auto Shifting in Road Mode 120

While travelling forward in 12th gear or higher,


press and release the AUTO switch (1 Fig. 120),
this will provide Auto shifting from 12th gear
upwards.
If required, the range of Auto shift gears can be
expanded to include additional lower gears. Any
gear between 7 and 11 can be programmed as the
Lowest Auto Gear (LAG). To set the lowest gear,
carry out the following procedure.

z Depress the neutral key (2) and at the same


time move the shuttle lever (1) to forwards and
hold the lever in this position (1,2 Fig. 118).
NOTE: Do not depress the clutch pedal during the
programming procedure.

z Keep the AUTO switch depressed (1), Fig. 120.

z While holding down the shuttle level, turn on


the key-start switch (but do not start the
engine). The central display in the integrated
ICU will show “OPt”.

z Release the shuttle level and, using keypad 121


buttons 1 or 3, select “OPt2”. Pause for two
seconds until the display changes to show the
currently selected Lowest Auto Gear.

z Using the keypad buttons again, select the new


lowest gear (between gears 7 and 11) Depress
button (3) to select a higher gear, depress
button (1) to select a lower gear.

z When the new lowest gear has been selected,


turn off the key-start to store the setting.
The transmission is now able to automatically make
upshifts or downshifts within the selected range of
gears, as dictated by engine torque, speed, and the
use of brakes and foot throttle.
It is now possible to engage the Auto Road Mode
while operating in the lower gears, providing the
current gear engaged is within the extended auto
range but below 11th gear. To engage Auto Road 122
Mode press and release the AUTO function switch
twice within one second.
In Auto Road Mode, with the clutch pedal
depressed and the tractor stopped, Auto shift will
automatically select the lowest auto gear in the
range in preparation to move off.
The driver can, if required, manually select a higher
gear to move off (e. g., on a downhill slope).
During road transport operations, it is possible to
override the auto function and manually select a
lower gear by depressing the downshift button.
Providing the downshift does not exceed the preset
auto shift load and speed parameters, the auto
function will remain engaged.
To disengage the Auto shift function and return to
manual shifting, press and release the AUTO
switch (1).
Alternatively, Auto Road Mode may be cancelled by
pressing either of the upshift or downshift buttons or
by using the shuttle lever to select reverse.

123

2 - 82
SECTION 2 - LAYOUT AND FUNCTION OF THE CONTROLS AND INSTRUMENTS

Auto Shifting in “Auto Field Mode”


While operating in any forward gear between 1 and
11, press and release the AUTO switch. This will
cause the transmission to momentarily upshift to
establish a torque output value from the engine.
As the engine speed drops the transmission will
downshift again.
This sequence will establish the shift parameters
and these will be entered into the auto memory.
Dependent on load and speed, the transmission is
now able to make automatic shifts within a span of
five gears.
The gear ratio currently selected will already be
displayed with the appropriate LCD segment. When
“Auto Field” mode is engaged, the plough symbol
will appear in the display.
Example 1: While operating in 7th gear, “7” is
displayed along with the 7th gear segment. If the
AUTO switch is pressed, LCD segments on the
side of the display for the 5th and 9th gear will flash
to indicate that automatic changing can occur
between the 5th and 9th gear.
Example 2: With 11th gear selected and displayed,
press the AUTO function switch. The segments for
8th and 12th gears will start to flash indicating the
tractor will automatically shift between 8th and 12th
gears.
124
Auto Shifting and “Go To” mode
If the transmission is already in “Go To” mode (see
page 2 - 87) when the Auto Field function is
selected, 2 - 87 the lowest “Go To” gear will
become the lowest gear of the Auto span unless
the current operating gear is lower. If the currently
selected gear is lower, then it will become the
lowest “Go To” gear. With both “Auto Field” and “Go
To” modes selected, the lowest limit gear for both
functions will always be the same.

2 - 83
SECTION 2 - LAYOUT AND FUNCTION OF THE CONTROLS AND INSTRUMENTS

Changing the Auto Shift Point

IMPORTANT: Changes to the Auto Shift point must


be made before engaging the Auto Shift function.
To suit different applications, the point at which the
transmission makes an automatic gear shift may be
adjusted from the default setting of 20%. Auto Shift
gear changes are related to an increase or
decrease in engine speed which can be set at 5,
10, 15, 20 or 25 percent.
NOTE: In “Auto Road” mode the shift point is
automatically set to 20% and remains at this value.
With the shift point set at 10%, a transmission
upshift will occur every time the engine speed
increases by 10%. Consequently, as the engine
speed decreases by the same amount, the
transmission will make a downshift.
It is recommended that during field operations the
shift point is set at a low percentage.
To change the shift point, depress and hold the
AUTO function switch for at least one second.
The current shift point figure will appear in the gear
display and the “ramp” symbol (1) will begin to
flash. Depress the AUTO function switch
repeatedly to scroll through the shift points.
With the new shift point selected, release the AUTO
switch and pause for five seconds. The new setting
will be stored and the display will return to normal.

IMPORTANT: At key-off (engine stop), electronic


programme settings made during tractor operation
are transferred from the operating memory to the
main memory. To provide sufficient time for the data
to transfer, allow a minimum of five seconds delay
125
before turning the key on again.

2 - 84
SECTION 2 - LAYOUT AND FUNCTION OF THE CONTROLS AND INSTRUMENTS

Changing the Gear Span


The gear span may be expanded by two gears both
up and down while on the move, using the
downshift and upshift buttons (1) and (2).
Example 1: Upshifting: When operating in Auto
mode in 7th gear, as described previously, the
segments for 5th and 9th gear will flash.
On reaching 9th gear, press the upshift button (1)
once to select 10th gear. When the tractor has
upshifted to 10th, press the control again to select 1
11th gear. Auto shifting will now be provided
between 5th and 11th gears. The segment for 5th 2
will continue to flash identifying this as the lowest
limit gear currently available.
Example 2: Downshifting: Assuming 5th has 126
been selected as the lowest Auto gear, slow the
tractor until this gear has been engaged.
Then, using the downshift control (2), select 4th
gear and further reduce speed until 4th gear
engages. 3rd gear may now be selected, if
required. Applying this technique it is possible to
select gears 1 to 11 in the Auto range.
Reducing the Gear Span
If necessary, the number of gears available in the
“Auto Field” mode may be reduced by using the
upshift and downshift controls in the following way.
Example 1: Upshifting: Upshift gears: With the
upper limit gear showing as 9th (flashing segment)
and the tractor operating in a lower gear, depress
the downshift button (2, Fig. 126). The flashing
segment will show a one gear reduction each time
the button is depressed.
Example 2: Downshifting: With the tractor
stopped and the engine running, depress and hold
in the AUTO switch (1). Then move the lower limit 1
gear upwards (flashing segment) using the upshift
button (1, Fig. 126), until the desired gear is 127
obtained and then release the AUTO switch.
This procedure will permit the lower limit gear to be
changed without affecting the upper limit gear
setting in the AUTO memory.

2 - 85
SECTION 2 - LAYOUT AND FUNCTION OF THE CONTROLS AND INSTRUMENTS

Changing Gear Shift Threshold


The point at which the gears change is established 2
by the original throttle setting and torque applied to
the engine at the time the AUTO function switch
was depressed. It is possible to alter the upshift or
downshift point to a higher or lower engine rpm if
required.
Higher Engine RPM: Move the hand throttle (1), to
a higher engine rpm setting than originally set. The
parameters for the upshift will automatically update
and gear shifts will occur at a higher engine speed.
Lower Engine RPM: Move the hand throttle (1), to 1
a lower engine rpm setting than originally set and
hold down the upshift button. The transmission will
upshift and the shift parameters will be updated. 128
Auto gear shifting will now occur at a lower engine
speed.
NOTE: Changing the gear shift parameters may
cause the shift point for one or more gears to fall
outside the original 5 gear span. If this should
occur, widen the gear span using the procedure
outlined on the previous page.
Standby mode
“Auto Field” mode is switched to Standby mode,
when:

z the 3-point hitch is raised.

z the clutch pedal is not depressed;

z the shuttle lever is moved from the forward


drive position.
While in the standby mode the gear segment LCDs
will continue to flash (unless reverse direction is
selected) and the established shift parameters will
remain in the AUTO function memory.
To exit programming mode
“Auto Field” mode can be exited in three ways:

1. Momentarily depress the AUTO function


switch (1), while in “Auto Field” mode.

“Go To” mode


An additional feature on your tractor is the “Go To”
mode. The “Go To” system can be programmed to
downshift to a lower gear below that of the working
gear whenever the implement is raised.
This feature can be further enhanced by activating
the “Auto Field” function, whereby the tractor will
also automatically upshift again on lowering the
implement.
To programme “Go To” mode, proceed as follows.
With the engine running, press and hold the AUTO
function switch (1)

130
Within one second, press and release the top of
the Raise-Lower switch (1) to raise the implement. 1
The Auto Field symbol will appear on the
transmission display. Continue to press and hold
the AUTO function switch.

131
With the AUTO function switch still depressed,
select the required “Go To” gear using the upshift
button (1) or downshift button (2). The segment for
the “Go To” gear selected will flash. Release the
AUTO switch. Lower the implement by pressing
and releasing the fast raise switch.
NOTE: AUTO shift in the field range is disengaged
every time the implement is raised and re-engaged
when it is lowered.

SECTION 2 - LAYOUT AND FUNCTION OF THE CONTROLS AND INSTRUMENTS

To switch off “Go To” mode and reactivate the


normal shift mode, depress and hold the AUTO
switch (1). Move the switch (2) to raise or lower the
implement.
2
NOTE: With AUTO shift selected in conjunction
with the “Go To” mode, the lowest gear in the Auto
shift function also becomes the lowest “Go To”
gear.
Speed matching
When decelerating in the transport range of gears,
the transmission is able to automatically select a
gear to match engine speed and road speed. 1
As the tractor slows, either depress and release the
clutch pedal or, momentarily place the shuttle lever 133
in neutral. The transmission will automatically
select a lower gear to match engine speed with
road speed.
Available ratios:
“Auto Road” mode -
gears 12 to 17, 18 or 19
“Auto Road” mode - Extended Shift span
Lowest Auto Gear to 17, 18 or 19
NOTE: Providing the Extended Shift is activated,
Speed Matching will function down to the Lowest
Auto Gear.
The currently selected gear, if higher than the
speed matched gear, will be stored as the “target”
gear identified by its flashing LCD gear segment.
If, when in the Extended Shift span, the clutch
pedal is depressed and the tractor stopped, Speed
Matching will enter standby mode. Releasing the
clutch pedal will re-engage the Speed Matching
function and the tractor will move off in the Lowest
Auto Gear.
If required, the driver may manually select a
different gear to move off. Providing the chosen
gear is within the auto shift range, Speed Matching
will continue to operate across the full range of
gears from the Lowest Auto Gear upwards.

Programming Reverse Gear Ratios


When changing from forward to reverse, the
transmission will normally select the same or
closest possible ratio in reverse as was selected for
forward travel closest possible ratio in reverse as
was selected for forward travel.
For special shuttle shift applications, Power
Command transmission offers the advantage of
automatically changing the reverse gear ratio up to
three ratios higher or lower than the currently
engaged forward gear ratio.
To programme an alternative reverse gear, proceed
as follows:

z Depress the neutral key (2) and at the same


time move the shuttle lever (1) to forwards and
hold the lever in this position.
NOTE: Do not depress the clutch pedal during the
programming procedure.

134
z While holding the switch, turn on the key-start
switch (but do not start the engine). The central
display will show “OPt”.

z Release the shuttle lever and, using keypad


buttons (1) or (3), select “OPt 1”.

135

2 - 89
SECTION 2 - LAYOUT AND FUNCTION OF THE CONTROLS AND INSTRUMENTS

To programme a higher reverse ratio

z Pause for two seconds and the display will


change to show the currently programmed
reverse ratio.
NOTE: If the reverse ratio has not been previously
changed, the figure will be “0”.
1
z Press the upshift button (1) one, two or three
times, as required. The display will show “1”, “2”
or “3”. This indicates that when reverse is 2
selected the ratio will be one, two or three ratios
higher than the forward gear ratio.
136
To programme a lower reverse ratio

z Press the downshift control (2) one, two or


three times, as required. The display will show
“-1”, “-2” or “-3”. This indicates that when
reverse is selected the ratio will be one, two or
three ratios lower than the forward gear ratio.
To exit programming mode

z Turn the starter switch to the OFF.


The transmission is now programmed.
NOTE: Remember that only six reverse gears are
available. Consequently, if travelling forward in ratio
F13 or above, the transmission will always behave
as if ratio F12 (the highest ratio in the field range) is
selected. Therefore, if the transmission has been
programmed to select 2 ratios lower in reverse,
then R4 will be selected.
Conversely when travelling forwards in ratios F1-6,
the transmission will always react as if ratio 7 is
engaged. Therefore, if the transmission has been 137
programmed to select 2 ratios higher in reverse,
then R3 will be selected.

SECTION 2 - LAYOUT AND FUNCTION OF THE CONTROLS AND INSTRUMENTS

CREEPER GEARS (where fitted)


For operations requiring extra low ground speeds,
a reduction gear set (creeper gears) is available.
The reduction gear set is installed within the main
transmission housing.
With the reduction gears, an additional 10 forward
and 6 reverse creeper gear ratios are provided. The
reduction gear set has the effect of reducing the
ratios within the main transmission to provide very
low operating speeds.
The creeper gears are selected by means of a
rocker switch (1) located on the right-hand control
console.
With the engine running, clutch depressed and the
shuttle lever in neutral, apply and hold down the
tractor footbrakes. Momentarily depress the upper
part of the selector switch (1) to engage the creeper
gears.

138
The creep speed symbol (1) will appear flashing in
the transmission display When the creep gears are
fully engaged, the symbol will cease to flash and
become steady.
To disengage creeper gears, repeat the above
procedure and depress the selector switch again.
The creep speed symbol will cease to illuminate.
NOTE: Creeper gears offer very low ground
speeds. Do not use the low gearing advantage to
apply excessive draft loads to the tractor.

CALCULATING PTO SPEEDS


The gear speeds shown on the following pages are
at rated engine speed (2200 rpm). To determine the
ground speeds for PTO operations, divide the
ground speeds in the chart by the rated engine
speed and multiply by the PTO engine speed.
Example: To determine the ground speed at
540 rpm PTO speed in gear F7 (5.0 km/h) use the
following calculation:
5.0 (km/h) ÷ 2200 (rated speed) x 1950
(PTO engine rpm) = 4.43 km/h

DIFFERENTIAL LOCK
Four wheel drive tractors have a differential lock
installed in the front and rear axles to lock all four
wheels together in conditions where wheel slip may
be encountered. Two wheel drive tractors have a
differential lock in the rear axle only.
The differential locks are controlled by a spring
centred rocker switch on the console to the right of
the driver’s seat.
The differential lock(s) may be operated in manual
mode or automatic mode. To confirm mode 1
selected, the appropriate symbol on the switch will
illuminate when engaged.

! WARNING !
Avoid using the differential lock at speeds above 141
8km/h (5 MPH) and never at speeds above 15 km/h
(9 MPH) or at any time when turning the tractor.
When engaged, the differential lock will make
steering the tractor very difficult.

IMPORTANT: If wheel spin is encountered, reduce


engine speed before engaging the differential lock,
to avoid shock loads to the transmission.
Operating in Manual Mode (all models)
In slippery conditions, momentarily depress the
bottom of the switch (1, Fig. 141) to lock both
wheels together. The differential lock(s) will engage
and a warning light in the switch and on the
instrument panel (1) will light up.
When one or both brake pedals are applied or if the
switch is returned to the Off (central) position, the
differential lock will be disengaged again and the
warning lights in the switch and instrument panel
will go out. Alternatively, depress the bottom of the
switch again to disengage the differential lock(s).

FRONT AXLE SUSPENSION (where fitted)


The optional, self-levelling, front axle suspension
will provide improved stability, control over the
vehicle, comfort and traction. The suspension
function is automatically activated each time the 1
tractor is started; but will not function at speeds
below 1.5 km/h (0.9 MPH).
When operating at speeds up to 12 km/h
(7.4 MPH), the front axle suspension may be
locked out, if not required.

To lock out the suspension, press the top of the
switch (1) on the right-hand “B” pillar illumination of
a warning light (2) in the instrument panel indicates
that the suspension is locked. Press the top of the
switch again to reactivate the suspension function.
At speeds above 12 km/h (7.4 MPH) the front axle
suspension will automatically engage, overriding
any lock out. In this situation the warning light will
remain on.
NOTE: Should the lock out switch warning light
begin to flash, this would indicate a malfunction of
the suspension system. Consult your authorised
dealer.

IMPORTANT: Read also “Ballasting and Tyres” on 149


page 3-144, regarding the use of front end weights
in tractors with front axle suspension.

! WARNING !
Hydraulic oil in the front axle suspension system
operates under very high pressure. Escaping
hydraulic oil under pressure can penetrate the skin
causing serious injury. Unqualified persons should
not attempt to disconnect any lines in the front axle
hydraulic system. Failure to follow these
instructions can result in serious injury.

! WARNING !
If a transmission ratio is engaged, with the engine
running and the tractor supported on axle stands,
the self-levelling function of the suspension may
cause the axle to make corrections (move up and
down). The suspension should be locked out to
maintain stability.

SECTION 3 - FIELD OPERATION

Automatic Engine Shutdown with Enhanced


Keypad (where fitted)
The automatic engine shutdown system on tractors
equipped with the optional Enhanced Keypad
provides a further level of protection. The system
monitors four key areas that are critical to the safe
operation of engine and driveline. In the unlikely
event that one or more of these reaches a critical
condition, the engine will be shut down.

z The engine oil pressure falls below safe limits

z The engine coolant temperature exceeds safe


limits.

z The driveline oil pressure falls below safe limits.

z The driveline oil temperature rises above safe


limits.
Prior to engine shutdown the red Stop light will start
to flash and the critical alarm will sound. In addition,
the engine fault warning and malfunction symbols
will flash alternately in the dot matrix display.
If, after 30 seconds, the driver has not stopped the
engine, the automatic shutdown feature will be 156
activated and the engine will be shut down.
After the engine has shut down, the red Stop light
will remain on but the alarm will cease to sound.
Both engine and malfunction symbols will continue
to flash alternately.
The automatic engine shutdown function may be
programmed by your authorised dealer to operate
in one of the following modes:
1. No engine shutdown. In this mode the engine is
not capable of automatic shutdown.
2. Always engine shutdown. The engine will
shutdown at any time if one or more of the
monitored conditions reaches a critical level.
3. Stationary engine shutdown. The engine will
shutdown only during stationary operations, if
one or more of the monitored conditions
reaches a critical level.
Although the Automatic Engine Shutdown linked to
the Keypad can be disabled, the ECU controlled
system will continue to function in the normal way.

SECTION 3 - FIELD OPERATION

POWER MANAGEMENT (PM)


Power Management is an automatic system
designed to boost engine power levels where
tractor performance may be compromised due to
increased loads.
Once activated, PM will monitor and respond to
increased power demands by gradually raising the
level of horsepower available.
IMPORTANT: Power Management will be disabled
if the engine coolant temperature is below 105°C
(221°F). In this situation either increase the engine
speed or reduce the load on the engine until the
coolant temperature is reduced.
Use of the Auto PTO Control
Before PM will operate the following must apply:
Engine speed exceeds 1300 RPM
Tractor forward speed above
0.5 km/h (0.3 MPH).
PTO power output is above 27 kW (36.2 HP).
PTO driveline torque is above 250 Nm.
NOTE: Power Management will operate at all PTO
speeds, i.e. 540, 540E and 1000 rpm.
With the tractor moving and the engine running
above 1300 rpm, engaging the rear PTO will
activate Power Management in standby mode.
As the torque and load on the PTO reaches or 157
exceeds the above levels, the warning light (1) will
illuminate and Power Management will be
activated.
When the power requirement is reduced, the
amount of boost is also reduced until the system
reverts to standby.
Road Transport Applications
Before the Power Management function becomes
available, the following must apply:
16th gear or above is selected “Auto Transport”
mode is selected.
Engine speed is between 1800 and 2200 rpm.
Power Management will only function when Auto
Shift is selected and the tractor is operating in 16th
gear or higher. PM will be deactivated if one or
more of the following occurs:
Downshifting below 16th gear.
Engine speed falls below 1800 rpm.
Auto Shift is disengaged.

SECTION 3 - FIELD OPERATION

Playing a Programme

! CAUTION !
Before commencing work, it is recommended that
HMC programmes are given a “dry run” to ensure
all programme steps have been retained in the
memory and any timed EHR sequences replay
correctly.

To replay a recorded sequence, momentarily


depress the top of the playback switch (1) for AUTO
replay, or depress the bottom of the switch for
MANUAL replay. Playback will be activated but will
remain in standby mode.
If the suspend/resume function (step switch) was
used to record a second programme, the driver
may now cycle between programmes 1 and 2 by
holding down the AUTO or MANUAL side of the
playback switch. 2
When the correct number appears at the top of the
transmission display, release the switch.
The programme number will be replaced by a 1
flashing playback symbol.

170
When reaching the point at which the programme is
to start, depress and hold the switch (3) until a
“beep” is heard, then release the switch. Playback
will start as soon as the switch is released and the
first symbol in the sequence will appear below the
playback symbol
NOTE: To initiate playback, the engine speed must
be above 900 rpm and tractor speed must be
above 0.5 km/h (0.31 MPH).
When playback begins, the symbol will stop
flashing and will remain lit. 3
As each function is executed, the corresponding
symbol will appear immediately below the playback
symbol. At this point it will change from black on
grey background to grey on black background 171
(inversed).

3 - 20
SECTION 3 - FIELD OPERATION

Subsequent symbols in the programme sequence


will appear below the one currently being executed.
As each step is completed, the corresponding
symbol will disappear from the display to be
replaced by the next one.
If playback is activated in MANUAL mode,
depressing the switch will only play the first step in
the programme sequence. When the first step is
completed, the programme will pause until the
switch is depressed again to start the next action in
the sequence.
In playback mode, each step will be replayed
exactly as it was recorded.
NOTE: If necessary, the foot throttle may be used
to increase engine speed during HMC playback.
If pauses were inserted into the sequence during
recording, playback will automatically stop at each
pause point. To resume the sequence, depress and
hold the switch until a “beep” is heard. The next
step will start immediately the switch is released.
By delaying the point at where the step switch is
used to restart a programme in AUTOMATIC mode,
adjustments can be made to the time span of a
sequence or to extend the delay between individual
steps. This only applies to pauses inserted at the
recording stage.
In playback mode, the programme may be stopped 3
at any time by depressing the step switch (3).
The programme will pause and the playback
symbol will begin to flash.

a function in play, all current HMC actions, including
timed electronic remote valve sequences, will be
aborted and it may be necessary to manually
complete the paused step before restarting HMC
playback manually complete the paused step
before restarting HMC playback.
To resume programme playback, depress and hold
the switch until a “beep” is heard and then release
the switch.

IMPORTANT: During playback, one or more of the


following actions will cause HMC to be stopped and
all automated functions, including timed EHR
sequences, to be terminated:

z Tractor speed drops below 0.5 km/h (0.3 MPH)


or the tractor is stationary for more than
10 seconds.

z The driver leaves the seat for more than


2 seconds.

z Fender mounted 3-point hitch or PTO controls


are operated.

z Hand throttle is set to idle.

z Operating one or more of the HMC linked


tractor controls to override the programme.
NOTE: A control is not regarded as overridden by
HMC until the sequence reaches the point at which
the automated operation of that control begins.
At this time, the sequence will be stopped.
On completion of a sequence or if HMC is halted
during playback, electronic remote valves will not
return to float even if the relevant lever is in the float
position. The following are exceptions:

z The lever was already in the float position when


the HMC system was activated.

z The last HMC command step selected the


valve float function.

3 - 22
SECTION 3 - FIELD OPERATION

If an EHR function is being executed and the


switch (3) is used to cancel the action e. as to stop
a hydraulic cylinder extending, then the cylinder will
stop and playback will be suspended.
The cancelled action will be by-passed and the
programme will move on to the next step when
playback is restarted.
However, the cancelled action will remain in the
programme memory for subsequent replays.
To continue the programme, depress and hold the
switch until a “beep” is heard and then release the
switch. 3
NOTE: When a HMC programme is suspended, the
symbols will flash in the display until the switch is
depressed to restart the programme. 173

IMPORTANT: If an HMC programme is halted by


the driver leaving the seat for more than 2 seconds,
the current engine speed will be maintained until
the driver returns to the seat, the throttle setting is
changed or the HMC sequence is cancelled.
Before leaving the driver’s seat, always
deactivate HMC and apply the tractor parking
brake.

REAR PTO
Description
The PTO is engaged and disengaged by means of
a knob (1) on the right-hand console. The adjacent
warning light (2) will illuminate when the PTO is
engaged.
Three types of rear PTO system are available,
dependent upon tractor model and country.
a) 540/1000 speeds with interchangeable output
shafts.
b) 540/1000 shiftable with interchangeable output
shafts and the option of fender-mounted
switches.
c) 540E/1000 shiftable with interchangeable
output shafts and the option of fender-mounted
switches. 178

An automatic “soft start” facility is provided to


permit easy start up of heavy, high inertia, PTO-
driven equipment.
Soft start modulates PTO clutch torque over the
first 5 seconds of engagement to provide a slower,
gradual take up of the drive.
NOTE: Soft start only operates at engine speeds of
1800 rpm and below. Above this speed, normal
PTO engagement will occur.
With a shiftable lPTO, a range lever is provided to
select 540 or 1000 PTO speeds. The range
lever (1) is located at the rear of the right-hand
console.

SECTION 3 - FIELD OPERATION

PTO Switch Operation - Timeout


To engage the PTO, depress the knob (1) then lift
the collar (2) and knob together. This movement
should be decisive in its application as hesitant or
incorrect operation of the knob or collar may cause
the PTO system to time out.
Do not under any circumstances:

z Depress and hold the knob (1) for more than


10 seconds.

z Depress and hold the knob and lift the collar (2)
for more than 10 seconds without engaging
the PTO. 180

z Operate the fender mounted and internal PTO


controls simultaneously or within 2 seconds of
each other.
Either action above will cause the PTO to become
inoperable (timed out) for 10 seconds.
Should this occur, the PTO time out symbol will
appear in the dot matrix display and the amber
warning light will flash for 10 seconds.
Also the alarm will sound for 4 seconds for non-
critical faults.
During the 10 seconds when the PTO system has
timed out, avoid operating any of the PTO controls
as this may extend the duration of the timeout
period.

until the PTO and equipment stops. Switch off
the engine before getting off the tractor.

With the engine stopped, the PTO brake is released


and the stub shaft may be turned by hand to aid
implement shaft alignment.
Mount or hitch the equipment to the tractor as
outlined in THREE-POINT HITCH on page 3 - 86.
A plastic PTO cap (1) is supplied and should
always be installed over the stub shaft when the
PTO is not in use. Store this protective cap in the
tractor toolbox when using the PTO.
A lift-up PTO guard is fitted as standard. This also
serves as a support for driveline shields used with
PTO-driven equipment and provides for your safety.
Do not modify the guard.

181
Remove the “R” clip (1) from the locating pin and
slide the guard upwards to clear the pin. Lift the
guard to gain access to the PTO stub shaft.
A second locating pin allows the guard to be fixed
at 45° if required.
To connect PTO-driven equipment to the PTO stub

FRONT PTO AND THREE-POINT HITCH (where fitted)


Tractors with four wheel drive may be equipped
with an engine-driven PTO and front 3-point hitch.
These features are available as a factory installed
option or dealer installed accessory.

Front PTO
The front power take-off (PTO) transfers engine
power directly to front-mounted equipment via a
6-splined shaft. The PTO stub shaft rotates
anticlockwise (as viewed from the front).
NOTE: A 21-spline stub shaft is available as a
dealer installed accessory.
A plastic cap (1) is provided to protect the PTO stub
shaft when not in use.
NOTE: With the engine stopped, the PTO brake is
released and the stub shaft may be turned by hand
to aid implement shaft alignment.
The front PTO is electro-hydraulically operated and
is activated by a selector knob on the right-hand
console, similar to the rear PTO. 201
When tractors are fitted with the Auto PTO feature,
drive to the implement can be programmed to
disengage and re-engage as the front hitch is
raised and lowered.
An automatic “soft start” facility is provided to
permit easy start up of heavy, high inertia, PTO-
driven equipment.
Soft start modulates PTO clutch torque over the
first 5 seconds of engagement to provide a slower,
gradual take up of the drive.

With the engine running at 1000 rpm or lower,


press the knob (1) and lift the collar (2) and knob up
to engage the PTO. The knob will remain up while
the PTO is engaged and the adjacent warning light
(1) will be illuminated. Using the accelerator pedal
or the throttle increase engine speed to 2100 rpm
until the P.T.O is turning at 1000 rpm. To disengage
the PTO, press the PTO control knob (2) down.
NOTE: If overspeeding of the PTO occurs, e. as
PTO speed exceeds 1100 rpm) the light (1) will
flash for 5 seconds, then remain steady.
Reduce engine speed to 2100 rpm.
NOTE: If the engine is stopped, the PTO will not
operate when the engine is restarted until the PTO
knob (1) is reset. Return the control knob manually 202
to the OFF position (by pressing the knob down)
then re-engage the PTO, as previously described.

! DANGER !
To avoid inadvertent movement of the implement,
disengage the PTO after each use.

PTO Switch Operation - Timeout


Engagement of the PTO control should be decisive
in its application as hesitant or incorrect operation
of the knob or collar may cause the PTO system to
time out.
Do not under any circumstances:

z Depress and hold the knob (1) for more than


10 seconds.

z Depress and hold the knob and lift the collar (2)
for more than 10 seconds without engaging
the PTO.
Either action above will cause the PTO to become
inoperable (timed out) for 10 seconds.

3 - 41
SECTION 3 - FIELD OPERATION

Should this occur, the PTO time out symbol will


appear in the dot matrix display and the amber
warning light will flash for 10 seconds.
Also the alarm will sound for 4 seconds for non-
critical faults.
During the 10 seconds when the PTO system has
timed out, avoid operating any of the PTO controls
as this may extend the duration of the timeout
period.

203
Use of the Auto PTO (if installed)
The Auto PTO function will automatically disengage
and re-engage front PTO drive when raising and
lowering the front hitch.
Auto PTO can be used in conjunction with the front
hitch height limiter. Raising the hitch will cause PTO 1
drive to be disengaged at a predetermined point
and the hitch to continue lifting until it reaches the
maximum height setting.
The height at which the PTO is engaged or
disengaged can be set using the following method.

IMPORTANT: The tractor must be stationary and


the PTO switched off before attempting this
procedure. 204

z Depress and hold the Auto PTO switch (1) for


2 seconds. The central display will show “Fu”
followed by two figures, e. as “Fu38”.
The number 38 represents the current height of
the hitch.

3 - 42
SECTION 3 - FIELD OPERATION

z Raise the hitch to point at which the PTO is to


disengage. Depress the Auto PTO switch once,
the central display will show “Fd xx” (where “xx”
is the current height of the hitch).

z Lower the hitch to the point where the PTO is to


re-engage and depress the Auto PTO switch
again. The central display will show “End” for
two seconds and then return to the option
selected prior to entering set-up mode.
Providing the tractor is stationary and the PTO is
disengaged, this procedure can be carried out at
any time. The new settings will remain in the
memory until reprogrammed.
To activate this Auto function, engage the PTO as
previously described and then depress and hold
the Auto PTO switch for more than one second.
The Auto front PTO light on the instrument panel
will illuminate to confirm activation.
With the front 3-point hitch in the lowered position
and the PTO engaged, the Auto light will remain on.
Raising the implement will disconnect PTO drive
and cause the Auto light to flash. Lowering the
implement will re-engage the PTO drive; the Auto
light will stop flashing and remain on.
Depressing the front Auto PTO switch again
will deactivate the function and the Auto light will
go out.

205

3 - 43
SECTION 3 - FIELD OPERATION

NOTE: The Auto PTO function will be deactivated


every time the key start is switched off.
Auto PTO will be deactivated should one or more of
the following occur:

z The tractor speed is above 0.5 km/h (0.3 MPH)


with the 3-point hitch in the raised position for
more than 2 minutes.

z With the 3-point hitch raised, the tractor speed


falls below 0.5 km/h (0.3 MPH), or the tractor is
stationary for more than 10 seconds.

z The PTO is deactivated.

z The operator leaves the driver’s seat for more


than 2 minutes with Auto PTO activated and the
3-point hitch in the raised position.
To reactivate Auto PTO, clear the error and re-
engage the function as previously described.

3 - 44
SECTION 3 - FIELD OPERATION

FRONT THREE-POINT HITCH (where fitted)


The optional front hitch, consists of an adjustable
top link (1) and a pair of folding lower links (2).
The top link and the lower links have open claw
ends that permit rapid coupling and uncoupling of
implements. The claws are equipped with self-
locking latches to ensure positive connection
between the 3-point hitch and the implement.

206
The front hitch can be operated by a rear or mid-
mounted remote valve (where fitted). The height of
the hitch (1) can be shown in the dot matrix display
as a percentage (%) ranging from 0 (fully lowered)
to 100 (fully raised).

207
Three ball-bushings are supplied for installation on
the implement, if required. The ball-bushing with
projecting lips (1) should be installed on the
implement upper hitch pin. The two plain ball-
bushings (3) with their detachable guides (2) should
be installed on the implement lower hitch pins.

208

3 - 45
SECTION 3 - FIELD OPERATION

Operating the Front Hitch


The front hitch may be operated by mechanical rear
remote valves, electronic rear remote valves or,
where fitted, electronic mid-mount remote valves.
A height limit control permits the operator to set a
pre-determined limit on the maximum lift height of
the hitch.

Setting the Height of the Front Hitch


Height limit control is provided by a rotary knob (1)
on the right-hand console. Turn fully clockwise for
maximum height. Turn anti-clockwise to reduce the
height. The height setting will be shown in the Dot
Matrix Display as a percentage (%) between 0 (fully
lowered) and 100 (full raise).
Turn the control fully anti-clockwise to disable the 1
height limit function.
NOTE: The height limit setting may be affected by
the oil flow through the system. If the height limit is
initially set at a low engine/hydraulic pump speed, it
may change if the engine speed is increased to a
higher setting.
209
On tractors equipped with both mid and rear
mounted electronic valves:
Mit dem joystick can be used to control the front
hitch using the electronic rear remote valves or,
where fitted, the mid-mount remote valves.
Where a front hitch is supplied as a factory option,
electronic mid-mount remote valve F1 will be used 1
to operate the hitch. To operate the hitch move the
joystick longitudinally.
On tractors equipped with both mid and rear
mounted electronic valves, the joystick can be used
to control either valve pack. A selector switch on
the armrest (1) allows the operator to switch
joystick control between the rear (2) and mid-mount
remote valve pack (1).
NOTE: Switching the joystick from mid-mount to
rear valve operation will automatically suspend 210
lever operation of the rear remote valves.
IMPORTANT: Before switching joystick operation
between mid and rear valve packs or vice versa,
ensure all remote valves are in the neutral position.

3 - 46
SECTION 3 - FIELD OPERATION

At key-on, the joystick indicator lamps will start to


flash but the joystick will remain disabled. To 3
activate the joystick the operator must be in the
seat and the tractor engine running for a minimum
of five seconds. Once activated, the mid-mount
valve indicator lamp (3) will stop flashing and
remain illuminated.
NOTE: Operation of the joystick will be disabled if
the operator leaves the seat or the tractor engine is
stopped.

211
Where it is required to operate the front hitch using
the rear remote valves and joystick, depress the
bottom of the selector switch (2). The front indicator
lamp will go out and the rear remote valve indicator
lamp will start to flash.
After five seconds the rear indicator lamp will stop 2
flashing and will remain on, confirming joystick
control of the rear remote valves has been
activated.
Operation of the front hitch may now be controlled
by the joystick through the rear remote valves.
NOTE: The mid-mount indicator lamp will flash
even where mid-mount valves are not fitted.

212
For operation of rear and mid mount remote valves, F
see 3 - 71. L
Move the joystick rearwards (R) to raise the
N
implement. When the front hitch reaches the
position set by the height limit control the hitch will
stop. R

Pushing the joystick forward to the “lower” position


(L) will cause the implement to lower to the ground
at a controlled rate of descent.
Further forward movement of the joystick will select
“float” (F) which will allow the implement to lower
under its own weight. Float can also be used to let
the hitch lift cylinder extend or retract freely
allowing front mounted equipment to follow ground
contours.
213
NOTE: Always use the float position to lower a
single-acting cylinder. The “lower” position is for
double-acting cylinders only.
IMPORTANT: Always use lower and float positions
to operate a hydraulic motor. To stop the motor,
move the lever from the “lower” position to the
“float” position. The motor will then slow to a
gradual halt and not stop abruptly which may cause
internal damage to the motor.

3 - 47
SECTION 3 - FIELD OPERATION

The joystick may also be moved laterally, (R) and L


(L), to provide oil flow for equipment connected to N
the optional front couplers. R

By moving the joystick diagonally, two cylinders


may be operated simultaneously.

214
To switch control of the rear valves back, depress
the top of the selector switch (1), to activate the
mid-mount valves, the rear indicator lamp will go
out and the mid-mount indicator lamp will start to
flash. After two seconds the front lamp will stay on
confirming joystick operation has been switched
back to the mid-mount valves (where fitted).

215

3 - 48
SECTION 3 - FIELD OPERATION

Auxiliary Front Couplers (where fitted)


Two auxiliary couplers with 1/2 inch female
couplings may be fitted to the front of the hitch
frame. These will provide a double-acting hydraulic
service for equipment mounted on the front 3-point
hitch.
When operated by the joystick, lateral movement of
the lever (left or right) will provide pressurised oil at
the couplings. See page 3-47 for details.
NOTE: When the front couplers are not in use
always re-insert the protective plug into the coupler
to prevent dust or debris from entering the hydraulic
system.
216

3 - 49
SECTION 3 - FIELD OPERATION

Setting the Hitch Operating Mode


Located on the front of the hitch assembly, the two
selector levers (1) permit the front hitch to be
operated in single-acting mode, double-acting
mode, or to be set at a fixed height.

217
Position P1:
Upper lever horizontal, lower lever vertical.
Front hitch operates in single-acting mode being
hydraulically raised but lowered using weight of
implement.
Position P2:
Both levers horizontal.
Hitch operates in double-acting mode being
hydraulically raised and lowered. Operating in this
mode will provide additional penetration for ground
engaging equipment in hard soil conditions or when
using a front mounted scraper blade.
Lock Position:
Both levers vertical.
With the levers in this position, both lift cylinders are 218
hydraulically “locked” preventing movement of the
lower link arms. It is recommended this mode
should be selected when transporting front
mounted equipment on the highway.

3 - 50
SECTION 3 - FIELD OPERATION

EXTERNAL FRONT 3-POINT HITCH CONTROLS


(where fitted)
External raise and lower buttons are provided on
the left-hand side of the front hitch assembly.
Depress and hold the appropriate button to raise or
lower the hitch, release the button to halt
movement of the hitch.

! WARNING !
Do not stand on or near the implement or between
the implement and tractor when operating the
controls for the external front 3-point hitch.

NOTE: The external front 3-point hitch controls are


disabled when the operator is in the seat.
219
Before leaving the tractor to operate the external
controls:

z Disengage the PTO.

z Apply the parking brake.


With the engine running, move the hand throttle
lever to the bottom idle position (all the way back).

! WARNING !
Before using the external front 3-point hitch
controls, ensure that no person or object is in the
area of the implement or 3-point hitch.

Never operate the external controls while standing:

z Between the lower links or

z on or near the implement.

! WARNING !
Never extend arms, legs, any part of the body or
any object into the area near the front 3-point hitch
or implement while operating the external controls.

3 - 51
SECTION 3 - FIELD OPERATION

Transport Locks
When travelling on the highway, both mid-mount
and rear electronic remote valves can be disabled
to prevent inadvertent lowering of the front hitch
which may cause damage to the tractor or road
surface.

Electronic remote valves


To isolate rear or mid-mount remote valve
operation, depress the top of the switch on the cab
“C” pillar. The warning lamp on the remote valve
lever console will illuminate to confirm the valves
are disabled.
Switch positions:
top = remote valves enabled

central = EDC and remote valves


disabled 1
bottom = EDC and remote valves
enabled
220
To re-enable operation of the rear and mid-mount
remote valves, depress the top or bottom of the
switch.

3 - 52
SECTION 3 - FIELD OPERATION

Hitch Settings and Adjustments Transport


Position
The top link and lower links should be placed in the
transport position when not in use. Raise the top
link (1) to the vertical position and secure by sliding
the adjuster handle extensions (2) into the slots in
the support (3).

221
Each lower link pivots about the pin (2). This pin
should not be removed unless it is required to
remove the lower links. To raise the lower link,
extract the pin (3) from the support assembly and
raise the link (1) to the vertical position, as shown.
Re-insert the pin through the support when the
holes in the lower link and support are correctly
aligned. Before operating the tractor ensure both
pins are fully secured using the lock pins.

222
To convert to the working position, remove the lock
pins, pull out the pin (5) and manually lower the
lower link down to the operating position, as shown.
Re-install the pin in one of the holes (4) or (6), as
required and secure.
When installed in the rear hole (5), the lower link
will be locked as a rigid unit. If the pin is installed in
the front hole (6), the lower link will be allowed to
move up and down freely (float) through a range of
approx. 75 mm (3 in). Secure the pin using the lock
pins.
Repeat on the other lower link, ensuring that both
lower links are set up the same, i.e., both are
locked as rigid units or both are allowed to float.

223

3 - 53
SECTION 3 - FIELD OPERATION

NOTE: With the lower links pinned in the float


position, the left- and right-hand sides of the
implement can move up and down independently to
allow for operation on uneven surfaces. In addition,
the remote control valve float function will allow the
whole implement to move up or down as it passes
over uneven ground.

Coupling Implement to Tractor Tractor L


Start the engine. Move the joystick from neutral (N)
to lower (L) until the link arms are just clear of the N

ground. Position the tractor so that the open claw


ends are beneath the implement hitch pins.

224
Slowly move the joystick rearward to raise the
lower links until the claw couplers engage the ball-
bushings. An audible click will be heard as the self-
locking latches engage the ball-bushings on the
implement. The lift control should be returned to the
neutral position before the lower links start to lift the
implement from the ground.

IMPORTANT: Before operating the tractor, ensure


the release latches (1), are fully retracted into the
link end.

225
Attach the top link to the implement, adjusting to the
correct length by rotating the threaded centre
section (1) using the handles (2) as leverage. To
prevent the centre section from rotating while in
work, place the locking latch (3) over one of the
adjuster handles. The top link has a similar claw
end to the lower links. Lower the top link claw onto
the upper implement ball-bush and press down
until the latch is heard to engage.
The implement supports, where fitted, may now be
removed or retracted and the implement supported
on the front hitch.

226

3 - 54
SECTION 3 - FIELD OPERATION

Uncoupling Implement from Tractor


Using the joystick, lower the implement to the
ground, ensuring that it cannot fall when
disconnected from the front hitch. Use the
implement supports (where fitted).
Pull back the lever on the top link to release the
claw from the implement upper hitch pin.
Pull the ring (1) on both lower links fully rearwards.
The lever will lock in position with the latch
retracted. This will allow the links to clear the ball-
bushings on the implement lower hitch pins when
the links are lowered fully.
Fully lower the lower links using the joystick and
reverse the tractor clear of the implement.
227

3 - 55
SECTION 3 - FIELD OPERATION

ELECTRONIC DRAFT CONTROL (EDC)


The system described here is known as Electronic
Hitch Control. This electronically controlled
hydraulic system senses changes in the draft
loading via sensors in the lower link pins of the 3-
point hitch and changes in the position of the hitch
via a sensor on the cross shaft. The system
functions in Position Control or Draft Control.
Position Control provides accurate control of
implements, such as sprayers, rakes, graders, etc.,
that operate above the ground. Once implement
height has been set, the system will maintain the
selected position irrespective of any external forces
acting upon it.
Draft Control is designed for mounted or semi-
mounted implements operating in the ground.
Changes in soil resistance cause the draft loading
on the implement to increase or decrease.
Draft Control Draft control
Draft control sets the working depth in the soil by
maintaining a constant draft load. If the Position
Control knob (1), is set just below the normal Draft
Control working depth, it will prevent the implement 1
from “diving” or working too deep if an area of soft
or light soil is encountered.

228
Position Control will override draft control when the
Position Control lever is moved above the working
depth set by the draft loading wheel (2). Therefore,
the Position Control can be used to lift the
implement out of the ground, from the normal Draft
Control working depth, without changing the Draft
Control setting.

229
This function can be useful when a gradual lift out is
required. The thumbwheel stop can be set so that
the Position Control knob can be returned quickly to
a lower limit position just below the normal Draft
Control working depth.
The raise/lower switch would normally be used to
raise or lower an implement during a work cycle.

3 - 56
SECTION 3 - FIELD OPERATION

Console
The hitch position control knob (2), is used to set 1
implement height, when operating in Position
Control and maximum implement depth when
operating in Draft Control. 2
The adjustable stop (1) is used to provide a repeat
height or depth setting when used in conjunction
with the hitch Position Control.
The draft loading wheel (3), determines the draft
load and therefore implement working depth by
setting a force on the draft sensitivity pins. Rotate
fully anti-clockwise to provide maximum load and
therefore maximum implement depth.

230
The raise/lower switch (4) enables the operator to
rapidly raise the implement to the position set by
the height limit control and to lower the implement
back down to the working depth/height set by the
Position or Draft Controls, without disturbing the
settings. The switch also provides for faster ground
engagement, if required. For detailed information,
see text on page 3-64.

231
EDC CONTROL PANEL
The draft sensitivity control (7), is used to make the
system more sensitive or less sensitive to changes
in draft loading. Maximum sensitivity is obtained by
rotating the control fully clockwise.
The drop rate control, 6, adjusts the speed at which
the three-point hitch drops during the lowering
cycle. Position 1 selects the slowest drop and is
denoted by the tortoise symbol, position 7 provides
the fastest rate of drop.
The height limit control knob (5), limits the height to
which the hitch may be raised. Adjust this knob to
avoid the possibility of a large implement 3 5 6 7 8
damagingthe tractor when fully raised.
The slip limit control knob (8) is available only on 232
tractors with the optional radar sensor unit.
It enables the operator to select a wheel slip
threshold, above which the implement will raise
until wheel slip returns to the set level.

3 - 57
SECTION 3 - FIELD OPERATION

Indicator light panel


The malfunction warning light (4), serves two
purposes:
- Flashing light means that there is a malfunction
in the system circuits. This will be accompanied by
the hitch error symbol appearing in the Dot Matrix
Display.
- Steady light signifies `hitch disabled. Again, the
“hitch disabled” warning is repeated in the Dot
Matrix Display with the hitch symbol.
The indicator lights (1) and (2), operate when the
position control lever is used to raise or lower the
implement or as lift and lower corrections occur
during normal tractor operation. The lower light (3)
will illuminate when the 3-point hitch lowers. 233
The upper light (1) will illuminate when the hitch
raises.
The slip limit “on” indicator (3), will illuminate when
slip control is activated.

Hitch Position Display


The digital display in the instrument panel indicates
the position of the lower links (1) over a scale of “0”
to “100”. A display of “0” indicates that the links are
fully lowered. “100” indicates they are fully raised.
Select the display using the standard or Enhanced
keypad (where fitted).

234
Malfunction Warning Light
In the unlikely event that a fault occurs in the EHC,
the malfunction warning light (1, fig. 233).
The warning light will be accompanied by the
appearance of the hitch symbol (1), and error code
(2), in the Dot Matrix Display.

235

3 - 58
SECTION 3 - FIELD OPERATION

The code indicates the tractor circuit or sensor in


which the fault lies and the type of fault, as short
circuit, open circuit, sensor failure, etc. In this
event, the tractor will require the attention of your
authorised dealer.
A steady malfunction warning light signifies “hitch
disabled” which is repeated in the Dot Matrix
Display by the apperance of the hitch symbol (1)
and error code “1024” (2).
The “hitch disabled” warning light signifies that the
position control setting does not correspond to the
position of the lower links with the result that the
lower links cannot be raised or lowered using the
in-cab controls. The “hitch disabled” warning will
display if:

z The position control lever has been moved


while the engine is stopped.

z One of the external power lift switches has


been operated to raise or lower the the three- 236
point hitch. See “External Hydraulic Power Lift
Controls” on page 3 - 66.

To put the Position Control lever back into phase


with the lower links, place the raise/lower switch in
the central position and, with the engine running,
move the Position Control lever (1) slowly forward
or rearward, as required, until the position of the
lever matches the hitch height. The “hitch disabled” 1
warning light will go out and the hitch error symbol
will disappear from the Dot Matrix Display.
The 3-point hitch will now raise or lower normally.

237

3 - 59
SECTION 3 - FIELD OPERATION

PRE-OPERATION SETTINGS
Attach the implement to the 3-point hitch.
Turn the draft loading wheel (2) fully forward to
position 10 - this is the Position Control setting.
1
Start the engine and, using the position control
knob (1), raise the implement in stages, ensuring
that there is at least 100 mm (4 in.) clearance
between the implement and any part of the tractor.
Note the digital display reading on the instrument
panel. If the reading is less than “99” it means that
the implement is not fully raised.

238
Adjust the height limit control knob (3) to prevent
the hitch being raised further and so avoid the
possibility of the implement damaging the tractor
when fullyraised.
When the raise/lower switch or the Position Control
knob is used to raise the implement, it will only
raise to the height set by the height limit control, as
determined in the previous step.
Adjust the rate of drop, to suit the size and weight
of the attached implement, by rotating the drop rate
control knob (4). Turn the knob clockwise to speed
up the drop rate or anti-clockwise to slow down the
drop rate. 2 3 4
IMPORTANT: When first setting the implement up
for work, keep the drop rate control knob in the slow 239
drop position (“tortoise” symbol).
When the raise/lower switch is used to lower the
implement, it will lower at a controlled rate as
determined in the previous step.

3 - 60
SECTION 3 - FIELD OPERATION

DRAFT CONTROL OPERATION


To operate in Draft Control adjustment of several
controls is necessary to suit the implement and field
conditions.
The draft loading wheel (1), determines implement
depth by setting a required force on the draft
sensing pins. Set the wheel to the mid-position prior
to commencing work.

240
The position of the draft sensitivity knob (2),
determines the sensitivity of the system. Set the
knob to the mid-position before entering the field.

241
Drive the tractor into the field and lower the
implement into work by rotating the Position 4
Control knob (4), anti-clockwise. Use the Position
Control to set the maximum depth and so prevent
“diving” when areas of light soil are encountered.
Set the required implement working depth by 3
rotating the draft loading wheel (1).
Without moving the Position Control, rotate the
adjustable stop (3) until it “clicks” and the pointer
aligns with the index mark on the Position Control
knob. If the Position Control is now moved, it can
be quickly returned to the original position by
rotating until it is felt to “click” and the pointer re-
aligns with the adjustable stop.

242

3 - 61
SECTION 3 - FIELD OPERATION

Observe the implement as it pulls through the soil


and adjust the draft sensitivity knob (1), until the
tendency to raise or lower, due to variations in soil
resistance, is satisfactory. Once set, the tractor
hydraulic system will automatically adjust
implement depth to maintain an even pull (draft
load) on the tractor.
The optimum setting will be achieved by observing
the movement indicator lights (2) and (3).
The upper light (2) will illuminate every time the
system raises the implement as normal draft
corrections occur. The lower light (3) will illuminate
as the implement lowers.
5 1

243
Turn the draft sensitivity knob (1) slowly clockwise.
The system will respond with smaller, quicker
movements as will be seen by both the indicator
lights flickering. At this point, turn the knob slightly
anti-clockwise until either of the indicator lights
flashes once every 2 or 3 seconds or, as required,
to suit the soil conditions.
Once the required working conditions have been
established there is no need to move the position
control knob again until the work in hand is
completed.

244
Upon reaching the headland, momentarily depress
the top of the raise/lower switch (4), to quickly lift 4
the implement to the position set by the height limit
control knob. When re-entering the work area,
momentarily depress the lower part of the switch.
and the implement will descend at the rate set by
the drop rate control knob and stop when it reaches
the depth set by the draft loading wheel (5).
During the raise cycle, momentarily depressing the
top of the raise/lower switch will pause implement
lift. Depress the top of the switch again to resume
the cycle.
Depressing the lower part of the switch during the
lowering cycle will pause implement drop.

245

3 - 62
SECTION 3 - FIELD OPERATION

Faster implement penetration may be required, for


example, after turning at a narrow headland Also,
some implements are reluctant to penetrate,
particularly if the ground is heavy. Press and hold
the bottom of the raise/lower switch (4) and the
implement will lower at the rate set by the drop rate
control knob, until it contacts the ground. The drop
rate and the Position Control settings will then be
overridden and the implement will quickly penetrate
the ground, rising to the preset working depth when
the switch is released.
4

246
Alternatively, the adjustable stop (1) may be used to
set the implement depth. When the required 2
implement depth has been established, rotate the
adjustable stop until a “click” is felt and the pointer
aligns with the index mark on the Position Control
knob (2). Whenever the implement is raised, using 1
the Position Control, it will always return to the
same working depth when the control knob is
rotated and “clicked” into alignment with the
adjustable stop.

247
The slip limit control knob (1), available only on
tractors with the optional radar sensor unit enables
the operator to select a wheel slip threshold, above
which the implement will raise until wheel slip
returns to the set level. The system overrides the
normal Draft and Position Control sensing signals
of the hydraulics so care must be taken not to
select too low or too high a slip limit. Setting the slip
limit to a very low level, unobtainable in wet
conditions, may have a detrimental effect on the
work rate/depth.

248
The slip limit “on” indicator (2) will illuminate when
slip control is activated and the implement is raising
to restore the selected slip rate. The knob is
detented at the “off” position (knob fully clockwise).

249

3 - 63
SECTION 3 - FIELD OPERATION

POSITION CONTROL OPERATION


To operate in Position Control, the draft loading
wheel (3) should, ideally, be rotated fully forward to
position 10.

250
Use the Position Control knob (2) to raise and lower
the 3-point hitch. The implement will raise and stop 2
at the height set by the height limit control knob.
NOTE: The rate of lift will be adjusted automatically
If a large movement of the position control knob is
made then the lower links will respond by moving 1
rapidly. As the links approach the position set by
the Position Control knob, implement movement
will be slower.
When the implement is set at the required working
height, rotate the adjustable stop (1) until a “click” is
felt and the pointer aligns with the index mark on
the Position Control knob (2). Whenever the
implement height is changed, using the Position
Control knob, it can be quickly returned to the same 251
setting by rotating the Position Control knob until it
is felt to “click” into alignment with the adjustable
stop.
If it is required to raise the implement at the
headland, momentarily depress the top of the raise/ 4
lower switch (4), to lift the implement to the position
set by the height limit control knob. When re-
entering the work area, depress the lower part of the
switch and the implement will return to the height
originally set by the Position Control knob (2).

Transport lock
When transporting equipment on the 3-point hitch,
turn the drop rate control knob (2) fully anti-
clockwise to the transport lock position (padlock
symbol). This will prevent the implement from
accidentally lowering and damaging the road
surface.

RIDE CONTROL
When transporting equipment on the 3-point hitch,
implement bounce can lead to lack of steering
control at transport speeds. With Ride Control
selected, when the front wheels hit a bump,
causing the front of the tractor to rise, the hydraulic
system will immediately react to counter the
movement and minimise implement bounce to
provide a smoother ride.
To engage Ride Control, turn the draft sensitivity
knob (1) fully anti-clockwise. Using the raise/lower
switch (4), raise the implement to the height set by
the height limit control (3). 3 2 1

253
Turn the drop rate control knob (2) fully anti-
clockwise to the transport lock position (padlock 4
symbol).
Ride Control will only operate at speeds above
8 km/h (5 MPH). When tractor speed exceeds
8 km/h (5 MPH), the implement will drop by
4 - 5 points (as displayed on the instrument panel)
as the hydraulic system makes corrections to
counteract implement bounce. When tractor speed
falls below 8 Km/h (5 MPH) the implement will raise
again to the height set by the height limit control
and Ride Control will become inoperative.

EXTERNAL 3-POINT HITCH Controls


(where fitted)
Two external switches (1) are provided on each
rear fender assembly. Depress the upper switch to
raise the 3-point hitch, depressing the lower switch
will cause the hitch to drop.

! WARNING !
Do not stand on or near the implement or between
the implement and tractor when operating the
external hydraulic power lift controls.

Before leaving the tractor to operate the external 255


controls:

z Move all transmission controls to neutral.

z Disengage the PTO.

z Apply the parking brake.


With the engine running, move the hand throttle
lever to the bottom idle position (all the way back).

! WARNING !
Before using the external 3-point hitch controls,
ensure that no person or object is in the area of the
implement or 3-point hitch.

Never operate the external controls while standing:

z directly behind the tractor or tyres


or

z Between the lower links or

z on or near the implement.

! WARNING !
Never extend arms, legs, any part of the body or
any object into the area near the 3-point hitch or 256
implement while operating the external switch.

3 - 66
SECTION 3 - FIELD OPERATION

Never have an assistant working the opposite set of


controls. When moving to the opposite set of
controls, move around the tractor or implement.
Do not cross between the implement and tractor.
The operator must only activate the external
switches while standing to the side of the tractor
(outboard of the rear tyres).

Pressing the upper switch (1) will cause the hitch to


raise slowly. Pressing the lower part will cause the
linkage to lower. When the lower links align with the
implement, release the switch and attach the
implement to the 3-point hitch in the normal way.
To transfer control of the hydraulic power lift back to
the lift control lever, move the lift control lever fully
rearwards and push forward again, more slowly.
The “hitch enabled” symbol will display in the
instrument panel, indicating that the 3-point hitch is
in phase with the lift control lever (see page 3 - 59).

IMPORTANT: When control of the 3-point hitch is


transferred back to the lift control, an attached
implement may raise fully and damage the rear of
the cab. Operator’s should be aware of this and take 257
appropriate action to stop raising before full lift
height is reached. Adjust the height limit control
knob as described under Position Control Operation.

ELECTRO HYDRAULIC REMOTES


A maximum of 8 proportional remote valves (4 rear
and 4 mid-mount remote valves) may be fitted on
the tractor, all of them with float position and
continuously flow-controlled. Setting of the 4 rear
remote valves can be time-limited. All remote
valves are dual action. The rear remote valves are
fitted with a non-return valve at connection B
(bottom).
The electronic remote valves have a number of
additional automated features which are supported
by visual displays in the Dot Matrix screen

implement when travelling between fields or on the
highway, it is recommended that EHR functions are
disabled.

IMPORTANT: The transport switch may also be


used to quickly stop operation of the rear remote
valves. Place the transport switch in the central

SECTION 3 - FIELD OPERATION

Carrying out a Time-controlled program


Timed programme operation is provided primarily
for operation of hydraulic cylinders. This feature
allows the operator to programme a time delay
between when the control levers are activated and
when the oil flow to the implement is stopped. 2

271
To operate the remote electro-hydraulic valves in
programed mode, depress the relevant section of
the timer button (2) as shown. When the button is
depressed, the green light (1) will start to flash. The
system is now in standby mode ready to accept a
programme sequence. The light will continue to
flash for ten seconds allowing the operator
sufficient time to begin the programming sequence. 1
If a programme is not started within this period, the
system will automatically de-activate. In such case
depress the timer control switch again to re-start
the sequence.

272
Programming a Double Acting Service
To programme the remote valves, first ensure the
cylinder hydraulic hoses are properly connected to
the appropriate rear remote valve. Start the tractor
engine and set at the normal operating speed in
which the cylinder is to be operated. This is
important as the programming of the control levers
is based on a time interval corresponding to the
time it takes the cylinder rod to extend and retract.
Any change in engine rpm will have an effect on
hydraulic flow and therefore the time taken for the
cylinder to extend and retract.
The timed period for control lever operation F
remains the same regardless of oil flow, therefore L
consistent operation is required for the system to
function correctly. Using the corresponding timer N
button (2) depress the switch so the light begins to
flash. While the light is flashing move control R
lever (3) to extend the cylinder (R). At this point the
light stops flashing and will remain lit.
Hold the lever until the cylinder is extended to the
1 3
desired position and then return the lever to the
neutral position. When the lever is returned to the
neutral position the programming light will begin to
flash again indicating the retract phase of the cycle
should now be programmed.

273

3 - 76
SECTION 3 - FIELD OPERATION

Move the joystick (3), to retract the cylinder (L); the F


programming light will cease to flash and remains L
on. Hold the lever until the cylinder has completed
the retract cycle and then return to the neutral N
position. After the second phase has been
programmed the light will remain on. R
After the second phase has been completed and
the lever has been returned to neutral, the 1 3
programme will be automatically stored.
Repeat the above sequence to programme the
remaining control levers if required.
Programming of the control lever can be performed
in either sequence, extend/retract, retract/extend or
for one movement only, extend or retract.
The maximum allowable time span for any timed
operation is 30 seconds. 274

NOTE: Turning the keystart switch OFF will erase


the programme.
Programming a Single Acting Service
To programme a single acting service carry out the
same set-up procedure as previously described for
N
a double acting service.
With the programme light flashing, move the R
remote valve lever from neutral to the extend
position (R). When the cylinder has extended to the 3
desired position, manually return the lever to the 1
neutral position. To store the setting, depress the
timer switch. In single acting mode the sequence
will NOT be automatically stored.
A single acting service can be programmed to
operate in either extend or retract modes.
NOTE: When using a timed sequence for a single
acting service i.e. programmed in extend mode 275
only, the retract mode will not function until the
programme sequence has been deleted.
If the control lever is moved to the float position no
timed programme is possible and the control lever
must be returned to neutral manually.

SECTION 3 - FIELD OPERATION

Setting Remote Valve Priority


A remote valve with oil flow priority will always take
precedence over other remote valves for hydraulic
oil flow. Irrespective of flow demand by the other
valves, the priority valve will always maintain a
constant output.
For implements requiring multiple remote valve
services, there may be a need for one of the valves
to have oil flow priority, i. as to provide oil flow for a
hydraulic motor.
With electronic remote valves, the operator can
select one remote valve as the priority valve.

276
z Turn the key-start to the ON position. Depress
and hold the Menu/Enter key (4, Figure 276)
until the central LCD display reads Ehrx (where
“x” is the current priority valve number).
NOTE: If a dash (-) appears in the display, the
remote valves are not prioritised.

z After a few seconds the LCD display will


change to read PEhr.

z Momentarily depress the EHR remote valve key


(1, Figure 277), to select the valve required for
prioritisation. Depressing the key repeatedly will
scroll through the valve numbers. 277

Simultaneous Operating Several Remote Valves


or Remote Valves and Hydraulic Lift
If operating two or more remote control valves

using the enhanced keypad to provide a partial
flow, as previously described. If not so adjusted, all
the available flow may be directed to the full flow
circuit when the pressure in that circuit is less than
that of the other circuits in use.
NOTE: For equipment using more than one remote
valve, the hydraulic service with the highest priority
should be connected to the valve that has been set
to provide oil flow priority (see page 3 - 78). 282

Bleeding Remote Cylinders


When connecting a cylinder with trapped air, i.e., a
new cylinder, one that has been out of service or
one that has had the hoses disconnected, it will be
necessary to bleed the cylinder to remove the air.
With the hoses connected to the remote control
valve couplers at the rear of the tractor, position the
cylinder with the hose end uppermost and extend
and retract the cylinder seven or eight times using
the remote control valve operating lever.
Check the rear axle oil level before and after
operating a remote cylinder.

3 - 82
SECTION 3 - FIELD OPERATION

CONTINUOUS OIL SUPPLY for REMOTE


SERVICES (where fitted)
For implements or attachments requiring
continuous or high oil flow from the tractor hydraulic
system, provision is made to connect directly into
the main hydraulic circuit at the rear of the tractor.
To operate correctly the implement must be fitted
with a closed centre hydraulic valve system that
will, through a sensing line, control oil flow from the
main tractor hydraulic pump.

IMPORTANT: To ensure correct operation of the


system, the implement control valve, when in
neutral, must be capable of directing the pressure
from the sensing line back to sump through the
return line to the tractor.

IMPORTANT: Before attempting to remove any


blanking plugs or attach pipework, ensure the
areas around the plugs and pipe connections are
thoroughly clean to prevent contamination of the
tractor hydraulic system.
NOTE: Ensure the hoses have a suitable capacity
to accommodate the required oil flow. Ensure also
that both the sensing line and hoses are sufficiently
long enough to allow for implement movement or
articulation when in work.

Power Beyond Ports


P - Pressure Line (1)
To connect the implement pressure line, remove
the plug (1) from the external services “power
beyond” port on top of the remote valve manifold.
Using a suitable connector, M22 x 1.5/15.5
(ISO 6149), attach the implement supply line to this
port. With the implement control valve in neutral, a
low standby pressure of 21 to 24 bar (305 to
348 lbf. in.) will be maintained in the pressure line
connected to this port.

283

3 - 83
SECTION 3 - FIELD OPERATION

LS - Load Sensing Line (2)


Connect the sensing line from the M12 x 1.5/11.5
(ISO 6149) port (2), to the implement control valve.
It is the sensing line which generates and controls
the oil pressure and flow from the tractor hydraulic
pump. When an implement control valve is
operated, the low standby pressure from port “P”, is
diverted down the sensing line to “switch on” the
tractor hydraulic pump. In operation, the load
sensing line constantly monitors pressure and flow
to ensure supply never exceeds demand.
NOTE: Tractors with solenoid operated hydraulic
top link and right hand lift rod will have a “T” piece
in port (2). Remove the cap from the “T” piece and
connect the sensing line in place of the cap. Use a 284
9/16 -18, “O” ring face seal fitting which complies to
standards ISO 8434-3 or SAE J1453. Do not
overtighten the connector.
R - Return Oil Line (3)
The return oil line from the implement control
valves should be connected to the M27 x 2/19
(ISO 6149) port (3). This will permit the oil to return
directly back into the tractor hydraulic system.
ISO Power Beyond Couplings
The ISO coupling consists of three ports.
1. Return oil line. Coupling size: 25 port size:
M30 x 2/19
2. Oil supply (pressure) port. Coupling size:
19 port size: M27 x 2/19
3. Load sensing port. Coupling size: 6.3 port size:
M14 x 1.5/11.5

The maximum flow available through the ISO


pressure port will depend on the output from the
tractor hydraulic pump. Full flow will be available
from a 120 litre pump assuming there are no other 285
hydraulic demands on the system.
With the high capacity pump, up to 140 litre/min is
available.

IMPORTANT: Always relieve hydraulic pressure in


remote cylinders before connecting or disconnect-

THREE-POINT HITCH
NOTE: Before attaching equipment read the
following text carefully.
Description
The 3-point hitch enables semi-mounted and fully
mounted implements to be connected to the tractor,
operated and controlled by the tractor hydraulic
system. Flexible or Quick Hitch link ends (3) are
available to aid implement connection.
The lower links are raised and lowered by means of
the lift rods (2) connected to the lift arms. The lift
rods may be readily adjusted to aid proper
alignment of the implement to the tractor.
The top link (1) is connected to a bracket on the
rear axle centre housing. The rear of the top link
should be connected to the upper hitch pin of a 286
mounted implement. The top link is also adjustable
to aid implement alignment.
ATTACHING 3-POINT EQUIPMENT
NOTE: Before attaching equipment, adjust lift rods
and select the correct top link hole for the
implement and work to be carried out.
Ensure that the telescopic stabilisers or sway
blocks are installed and correctly adjusted. Remove
the swinging drawbar if close-mounted equipment
is being attached.

IMPORTANT: Always select Position Control or set


the draft loading wheel to position 10 when

LIFT RODS, LOWER LINKS AND TOP LINK


(mechanical adjust)

! CAUTION !
Before attempting to disconnect or adjust the lift
rods or top link, lower attached equipment to the
ground and stop the engine. Before removing any
securing pins, ensure that attached equipment is
correctly supported and that no residual pressure
remains in the hydraulic system.
Electronic Draft Control
Before stopping the engine, move the Position
Control lever fully down in order to remove residual
pressure.
When adjusting lift rods, ensure that at least 40 mm
(1.6 in.) of thread remains engaged in the lower
end of the lift rod assembly.

Top Link Adjustment


The top link has a threaded centre section (1),
which, when rotated, will shorten or lengthen the
top link, as required. Lift up the spring retainer (2) to
allow the centre section to rotate. To ease
adjustment, lift the handle (3) and use it as a lever.
Alternatively, rotating the link end (4) will permit
limited adjustment of top link length.
To lock the sleeve after adjustment, push the spring
retainer down so that it holds the handle (3) flush
against the sleeve.

287
When not in use, the top link can be removed and
stored in the tractor or left in an upright position and
retained by hooking the ball end of the handle (2)
into the bracket (1) on the rear axle housing

288

3 - 88
SECTION 3 - FIELD OPERATION

Lift rod adjustment


The lift rods are adjusted by rotating the upper part
of the lift rod by means of the handle (1) on the
turnbuckle.
Before the turnbuckle can be rotated, it is
necessary to lift the turnbuckle (1) to disengage it
from the lock (2) (Figure 290) on the lower section
of the lift rod. Rotate the turnbuckle to lengthen or
shorten the lift rod assembly.

289
When adjustment is satisfactory, allow the
turnbuckle to lower into position. Ensure that the
turnbuckle is fully down and engaged with the lock
to prevent unintentional rotation.
Each lower link has two holes for attaching the lift
rods. Attach the lift rods to the front hole (nearest
the tractor) for maximum lift height. Use the rear
hole for maximum lift capacity.

290
Hitch Float
Remove the lower link retaining clip and lock
plate (1). Withdraw the pin (2) from the lift rod to
permit the outer lock plate to be rotated into the
vertical position. Replace the pin, inner lock plate
and retaining clip as shown. The hitch is now in the
float position.

IMPORTANT: When attaching mounted or semi-


mounted equipment to the 3-point hitch or when
coupling trailed equipment to the drawbar or
automatic pick-up hitch, ensure that there is
adequate clearance between the implement and
the cab or rear window in any open position.

SECTION 3 - FIELD OPERATION

HYDRAULIC LIFT ROCKER


(All models)
Two holes are provided in the bracket for
attachment of the top link.
Insert the pin (2) through the upper hole, as shown,
for maximum lift capacity and the greatest
implement to cab clearance. Use the lower hole (3)
for the best ground penetration and greatest
implement to ground clearance (when the
implement is raised).
To relocate the top link, pull out the “R” clip (1) and
extract the securing pin. Relocate the top link and
pin, as required, ensuring that the tang on the end
of the securing pin handle locates in the other hole.
NOTE: If your tractor is equipped with an automatic 294
pick-up hitch, the pin may foul the hitch lift rods
during removal. If necessary, use hydraulic power
to move the hitch lift rods to permit removal of the
top link securing pin.
FLEXIBLE LINK ENDS (where fitted)
A release ring (1) is provided on the upper surface
of each link end. Pull up the ring to release the latch
and slide the link end rearwards. With the link ends
released, connection to the implement will be
easier. The link end (4) is shown in the extended
position. The link end (2) is shown in the closed
(operating) position.
With both link ends extended, as at (4), connect the
link ends to the equipment and secure with lynch
pins. Start the engine and carefully inch the tractor
rearwards until the latches lock in the detent (3) on
each link arm. Stop the engine and engage the
parking brake.
Attach the top link and adjust accordingly.
295
IMPORTANT: Before transporting or operating the
equipment, make sure the flexible link ends are
locked in the operating position. Remove the
drawbar if it interferes with close-mounted
equipment.

3 - 91
SECTION 3 - FIELD OPERATION

QUICK HITCH
The The Quick Hitch consists of an alternative pair
of lower links (2) and an adjustable top link (1).
The lower links and the top link have open claw
ends that permit rapid coupling and uncoupling of
implements without leaving the cab. The claws are
equipped with self-locking latches to ensure
positive retention of the tractor hitch to the
implement. Cables are provided for attachment to
the latches.

296
Three ball-bushings are supplied for installation on
the implement, if required. The ball-bushing with
projecting lips (1) should be installed on the
implement upper hitch pin. The two plain ball-
bushings (3) with their detachable guides (2) should
be installed on the implement lower hitch pins.

297
Coupling Implement to Tractor
Adjust the stabilisers to maintain the tractor lower
links at the correct distance apart so they align with
the ball-bushings installed on the implement lower
hitch pins.
Fully raise the top link. With the lower links fully
lowered, the self-locking latches (pos. 1) in the
operating position, as shown, reverse the tractor
until the lower link claw couplers are beneath the
implement hitch pins. The combination of large
claw openings and the guides on the implement
ball-bushes make accurate alignment of tractor to
implement unnecessary.

298

3 - 92
SECTION 3 - FIELD OPERATION

Raise the lower links until the claw couplers engage


the ball-bushes. An audible click will be heard as
the self-locking latches engage the implement ball-
bushes. Lower the top link claw onto the upper
implement ball-bush and press down until the latch
is heard to engage. Increase or decrease top link
length, as necessary.
The implement supports, where fitted, may now be
removed or retracted and the implement supported
on the 3-point hitch.

Uncoupling Implement from Tractor


Using the hydraulic lift control lever, fully lower the
implement to the ground ensuring that it cannot fall
when disconnected from the tractor. Use the
implement supports (where fitted).
Pull the release cable on the top link to release the
claw from the implement hitch.
Pull the release cable (2) on both lower links.
The lever will lock in position with the latch
retracted (1). This will allow the links to clear the
ball-bushings on the implement lower hitch pins
when the links are lowered fully. Fully lower the
lower links and drive the tractor forward, clear of the
implement.
NOTE: Ensure the release cables do not foul 299
wheels, or moving parts of the 3-point hitch or
implement. When not in use, secure the cables to
the rubber strap on the rear right-hand side of the
cab frame.

SECTION 3 - FIELD OPERATION

LINKAGE STABILISERS

! CAUTION !
Never operate steerable equipment unless the
telescopic stabilisers are installed and correctly
adjusted to prevent excessive lateral movement.

ROUND SECTION SCREW TYPE


Telescopic stabilisers control the side to side
movement (sway) of the lower links and attached
equipment when in work or when being
transported. This is especially important when
operating on slopes or near fences, walls or ditches
and with certain implements. Check your
Implement Operator’s Manual.

Each stabiliser consists of a fabricated tube (2) with


a coupling at each end. The end with the pin (4) is
attached to the 3-point hitch. The screw thread (3)
screws into the rear end of the tube to provide
adjustment. The ball end (6) is attached to a
mounting bracket (1) bolted to the outer end of the
rear axle housing. This ball end is a loose, sliding fit
within the tube. The pin (5) may be passed through
drillings in the tube and rod, as shown, to lock the
assembly as a unit.

300
In practice, the locating pin (5) should be removed
from both stabilisers and the implement attached to
the 3-point hitch. To remove the pin, pull back the
securing clip. When the implement is satisfactorily
aligned, the tube should be rotated until the holes in
the front end of the tube and the sliding ball end are
aligned. The locating pin should then be passed
through the holes and the securing clip replaced.
With the pins inserted in this manner, both
stabilisers will be locked as a rigid unit and the
implement will be prevented from swaying both in
work or in the transport position.

3 - 94
SECTION 3 - FIELD OPERATION

Under certain conditions or when using equipment


such as ploughs etc., it may be desirable to allow
the 3-point hitch (and implement) to sway from side
to side.
If the pin is removed from the front hole, a limited
degree of sway will be permitted. The pin should be
re-inserted through the rear hole, as shown at (1).
The pin will act as a stop to limit the degree of
sway.

IMPORTANT: When setting the stabiliser length,


particularly if using the sway facility, ensure that
there is no possibility of the rear tyres fouling the
stabilisers or lower links.
NOTE: When using an Automatic Pick-Up Hitch, 301
ensure the stabilisers are adjusted to provide
adequate clearance between the lower links and
the hitch.

3 - 95
SECTION 3 - FIELD OPERATION

Automatic Stabilisers
Automatic telescopic stabilisers may be fitted in
place of the standard telescopic stabilisers,
described previously.

! WARNING !
Never operate steerable equipment unless the
stabilisers are installed and correctly adjusted to
prevent excessive lateral movement.

Each stabiliser consists of a telescopic tube


assembly internally threaded at the rear end. The
tube assembly is attached to a mounting bracket
bolted to the outer ends of the rear axle housing.
An externally threaded rod (3) is attached to the
lower links. The threaded rod engages with the
screwed thread in the tube assembly and the
overall length of the assembly is determined by
screwing the rod in or out, as required.
An adjustable chain (4) is attached, at one end, to
the rear fender and at the other end, via a spring, to
a hinged cover (1) on the telescopic part of the
stabiliser. A lug (2) on the telescopic part of the
stabiliser engages a notch in the cover.
When the chain is correctly adjusted it will be slack
when the lower links are raised from the operating 302
position, so allowing the cover to drop down over
the lug on the stabiliser. When the cover is down,
as shown, the stabiliser is locked at the preset
length. The lower links are, therefore, retained at a
set distance apart, preventing them (and attached
equipment) from moving from side to side
(swaying).
However, when the 3-point hitch is lowered into the
work position, the chain becomes taut and lifts the
cover from the stabiliser allowing it to telescope
freely. The stabilisers (and implement) will then
sway when engaged in the ground. This feature is
useful as it provides greater implement control
when turning on the headlands of a field.

3 - 96
SECTION 3 - FIELD OPERATION

Adjusting the Stabilisers


In practice, the implement should be attached to
the three-point linkage with the cover (4) on both
stabilisers raised, so as to allow the stabilisers to
telescope freely.
Lift the locking/ adjusting lever (2) up over the
peg (1) so that the lever is at right-angles to the
stabiliser. Turn the telescopic section, by means of
the lever, so that the threaded section (3) screws
into or out of the stabiliser. When the length is
satisfactory, i.e., the notch in the cover aligns with
the lug on the stabiliser, lower the lever back down
over the peg and close the cover.
The chain should then be adjusted, by placing the
appropriate link over the attaching hook, so that the
cover on the stabiliser is lifted when the implement 303
is lowered into work.

IMPORTANT: When setting the stabiliser length to


provide sway, ensure that there is no possibility of
the rear tyres fouling the stabilisers or lower links.
NOTE: When using an Automatic Pick-Up Hitch,
ensure the stabilisers are adjusted to provide
adequate clearance between the lower links and
the hitch.
Sway Block Stabilisers
Sway block stabilisers may be installed as an
alternative to telescopic stabilisers and will control
the sway of the lower links and attached equipment
when in work or when being transported. This is
especially important when operating on slopes or
near fences, walls or ditches and with certain
implements. Check your Implement Operator’s
Manual.

! WARNING !
Never operate steerable equipment unless the
stabilisers are installed and correctly adjusted to
prevent excessive lateral movement.
304

Sway blocks consist of reversible blocks (1) bolted


to either side of the drawbar hanger. A steel wear
pad (2) bolted to the inner surface of each lower
link, contacts the sway block to prevent excessive
sway (lateral movement) of the lower links.
The thickness of the pad (and therefore the degree
of sway) is controlled by two spacer shims of 8 mm
and 10 mm thickness, respectively.

3 - 97
SECTION 3 - FIELD OPERATION

The positioning of the shims relative to the pad


depends upon the required width setting of the
lower links (to suit the attached implement) or the
degree of sway required.

Shim/ Wear Pad Position


The left-hand side of the Figure shows both spacer
shims (3) and (4) installed between the wear
pad (2) and the lower link (1). This will increase the
distance between the lower links to suit a wider
implement.
The picture on the right shows the 8 mm shim (4)
on the outer surface of the lower link with the
10 mm shim (3) installed between the pad and the
lower link. Alternatively, the shims may be omitted
altogether to reduce the distance between the
lower links when operating with a narrower
implement.

305
Sway Block Position
To allow lateral movement of the lower links (and
attached equipment) in both the operating and
transport positions, attach both sway blocks (1) so
that the flat surface faces the wear pad (2) as
shown in the picture on the right.
When it is desirable to have sideways movement of
the equipment in the operating position, but remain
rigid in the transport position, remove the bolts
securing the sway blocks to the drawbar hanger
and relocate the sway blocks (1) so that the curved
surface faces the wear pad (2) as shown in the
picture on the left.
This will allow the implement to sway when the
lower links are lowered into the working position but
become rigid when raised. 306

IMPORTANT: When setting the sway blocks to


provide lateral movement, ensure that there is no
possibility of the lower links or implement
contacting the rear tyres. Ensure that there is
sufficient clearance between the wear pads and the
sway blocks to allow the 3-point hitch to raise and
lower without the possibility of the lower links
binding or becoming bent.
NOTE: When using an Automatic Pick-Up Hitch,
ensure the stabilisers are adjusted to provide
adequate clearance between the lower links and
the hitch.

NOTE: When supporting equipment on the drawbar


ensure that the total weight on the rear axle does
not exceed the maximum static downward load or
the rear tyre load capacity, whichever is the lower
(see Tyre Pressures and Permissible Loads at the
end of Section 3).

IMPORTANT: When transporting equipment on the


highway it is recommended that a safety chain
having a tensile strength equal to the gross weight
of the implement be installed between the tractor
and implement hitch. See following text and Figure.
SAFETY CHAIN
When towing implements on public roads, use a
safety chain (2) with a tensile strength equal to or
greater than the gross weight of the implement to
be towed. This will control the implement (1) in case
the drawbar (3) and implement become
disconnected.
After attaching the safety chain, make a trial run by
driving the tractor to the right and to the left for a
short distance to check the safety chain
adjustment. If necessary, re-adjust to eliminate a
tight or loose chain.
Check the implement operator’s manual for

SECTION 3 - FIELD OPERATION

TRAILER BRAKING SYSTEMS (where fitted)


HYDRAULIC TRAILER BRAKING SYSTEM
(except Italy)
Hydraulic trailer brakes may be connected into the
hydraulic system via a quick-release coupling (1) at
the rear of the tractor.
NOTE: The position of the trailer brake coupling
may vary slightly from that shown, dependent upon
the type of remote control valves installed.
If the trailer brake hose is connected into the
coupling the trailer brakes will be automatically
applied when the footbrakes are used to stop the
tractor.

IMPORTANT: It is essential that the brake pedals


327
are locked together to ensure correct operation of
trailer brakes, balanced operation of the tractor
brakes and four wheel braking (four wheel drive
tractors only).

! WARNING !
With the tractor engine off, hydraulic pressure
cannot be applied to the trailer braking system.
When parking the tractor/trailer combination apply
the tractor and trailer parking brakes while the
engine is still running. With the footbrakes locked
together apply the parking brake, stop the engine
and immediately block the wheels. Always lock the
brake pedals together when a hydraulically braked
trailer is attached to the tractor.

NOTE: Always keep the dust-cap in place when the


trailer brake coupling is not in use. It is a legal
requirement in most countries that trailer brakes
may only be connected to the tractor coupling by
means of a compatible female coupling.

3 - 112
SECTION 3 - FIELD OPERATION

HYDRAULIC TRAILER BRAKING SYSTEM


(Italy only)
The hydraulic trailer braking system on tractors for
the Italian market function in a slightly different way
to the universal system previously described.
If the trailer brake hose is connected into the
coupling the trailer brakes will be automatically
applied when the footbrakes are used to stop the
tractor or when the tractor parking brake is applied
when the engine is running. When the engine is
switched off, the trailer brakes will remain applied.

IMPORTANT: It is essential that the brake pedals


are locked together to ensure correct operation of
trailer brakes, balanced operation of the tractor 328
brakes and four wheel braking (four wheel drive
tractors only).
To release hydraulic pressure and free the trailer
brakes, start the engine, depress both brake pedals
and release the tractor parking brake.
NOTE: The light (1), on the instrument panel will
flash, accompanied by critical alarm, to indicate that
hydraulic oil pressure to the trailer brake circuit is
low. Stop the engine and investigate the cause.

ATTENTION: Should the trailer brake warning light


commence to flash, the trailer brakes will apply
automatically.
NOTE: Always keep the dust-cap in place when the
trailer brake coupling is not in use. It is a legal
requirement in most countries that trailer brakes
may only be connected to the tractor coupling by
means of a compatible female coupling.

SECTION 3 - FIELD OPERATION

PNEUMATIC TRAILER BRAKING SYSTEM


(except Italy)

! WARNING !
With the tractor engine off, hydraulic pressure
cannot be applied to the trailer braking system.
When parking the tractor/trailer combination apply
the tractor and trailer parking brakes while the
engine is still running. Single line pneumatic trailer
braking systems are designed for use up to a
maximum speed of 25 km/h (15 MPH). Tractor/
trailer combinations with dual line braking systems
may be used at a higher speed but must at all times
comply with local legal requirements. Gross train
weight, i. i., tractor plus trailer(s) and/or individual
trailer weight must not exceed that laid down in
local regulations governing the use of trailers.

The following text covers operation of the air-


operated trailer braking systems that may be
installed as an alternative, or in addition to,
hydraulically-actuated trailer brakes.
The system consists of an engine-driven air
compressor, one or two air reservoirs, dependent
upon type of system installed, a pressure gauge,
control valves, two or three couplers and related
pipework.
The couplers installed at the back of the tractor
may be connected to single or dual line trailer
braking systems. Either or both types may be
installed. The air lines connected to the couplers
are colour-coded black, red and yellow. The black
line is used for a single line system, the red and
yellow lines are used for dual line systems.

IMPORTANT: The trailer brakes will only operate


when both tractor brake pedals are applied.
Therefore, always lock the brake pedals together
when a trailer is attached to the tractor.
NOTE: The tractor parking brake is connected to
the main control valve. Whenever the parking brake
is applied, the trailer brakes are activated.

3 - 114
SECTION 3 - FIELD OPERATION

Operation
When starting the engine with a trailer connected
into the tractor air brake system, chock the wheels
and release the parking brake and footbrakes.
The warning light (1) Figure 190, will illuminate until
air pressure builds up to 4.5 - 5.5 bar.
The pressure will continue to rise, as indicated by
the air pressure bargraph in the Dot Matrix Display
(see Figure 331). To select the air pressure
bargraph, use the standard keypad or, where fitted,
the Enhanced keypad.

330
The air tank(s) should reach operating pressure
within 3 minutes of start-up but may take longer,
dependent upon the size of the trailer brake
reservoir(s).
Once required pressure has been reached a loud
pop. will be heard. This signifies that the unload
valve has opened to allow excess pressure to
escape to the atmosphere.

IMPORTANT: Apply the footbrakes several times,


ensuring that the pressure, as indicated by the
gauge, drops as the brakes are applied and rises
again when they are released. Never drive the
tractor with the trailer brake warning light on.
331
IMPORTANT: When the footbrakes are applied,
with the parking brake off, ensure that the front
wheel drive indicator light (9) illuminates and that all
stop lights are functional.
IMPORTANT: Various types of trailer braking
systems are available. Check the trailer
manufacturers’ instruction manual before making
connections to the tractor air brake system.
Clean the trailer and tractor connectors before
coupling up the hose(s). Ensure that connections
are secure. Check the trailer brakes regularly to
ensure that they are functioning correctly.

332
! CAUTION !
Do not over use the brakes on steep down hill
gradients. Use the same gear going down hill as
you would use for going up the same hill.

3 - 115
SECTION 3 - FIELD OPERATION

Dual Line System


For a trailer with a dual line braking system,
connect the supply line hose to the red coupler (1)
and the control line hose to the yellow coupler (2).

IMPORTANT: The dual line system will only


operate if both the red and yellow lines are
connected.
Red line (brake supply line) - (1): Air is supplied
to the red coupler at full system pressure. This is
the brake supply line and charges the reservoir(s)
on the trailer. If the trailer braking system is
disconnected from the tractor for any reason, the
air pressure will fall to zero and the trailer brakes
will be applied. 333
Yellow line (control line) - (2): As the tractor
brakes are applied, increasing air pressure is
supplied, via the yellow coupler, to the control valve
on the trailer until full system pressure is generated.
Application of the trailer brakes is proportional to
the pressure applied to the tractor brake pedals.

334
Single Line System
If the trailer has a single line system an additional
coupler is supplied. Connect the hose to the black
coupler (1).
A pressure of 5.5 bar is available at the coupler at
all times when the tractor brake pedals and parking
brake are released. Application of the tractor
brakes causes the pressure to drop to zero allowing
the trailer brakes to be applied.

335

3 - 116
SECTION 3 - FIELD OPERATION

AIR OPERATED TRAILER BRAKING SYSTEM


(Italy only)
This system operates in a similar manner to the
dual line system, previously described, except that
a combined dual coupler is utilised. Please read all
the previous text relating to pneumatic trailer
brakes plus the following:
The coupler is protected by a metal cover.
To remove the cover, press the handle (2) down.
The handle is held in position by a stiff spring and
some pressure is required to move it down to
release the cover (1).

336
Couplers
The lines to the couplers are colour-coded for ease
of use. The supply line to the left-hand coupler (1)
is red and the control line to the right-hand
coupler (2) is yellow. The trailer hoses will have a
male dual coupler. Press down the handle (3) and
insert the trailer coupler. When the handle is
released, it will lock the trailer and tractor couplers
together.

337

3 - 117
SECTION 3 - FIELD OPERATION

TRACTOR/TRAILER BRAKE BIAS CONTROL


When the tractor leaves the factory, this control is
set to allow maximum available braking effort to the
trailer. Under most conditions, the control will
remain in this position and will give well balanced
braking.
Occasionally, with some trailers this setting may
provide a greater braking bias to the trailer than is
ideal. In this case the braking force to the trailer
may be reduced slightly by turning the adjuster (1)
in an anti-clockwise direction.
To turn the valve, it is first necessary to pull the
knob out. After adjustment, push the knob in to lock
the setting. The adjuster must be reset to the fully
clockwise position when a different trailer is used.
338

! WARNING !
The trailer brake bias adjustment is extremely
sensitive and should not be rotated more than one
half turn before testing with the attached trailer fully
loaded. If further adjustments are required, they
should be carried out following the same
procedure. Failure to do this may result in an
imbalance between tractor and trailer braking
forces if the valve is rotated too far in the anti-
clockwise direction.

Auxiliary Air Supply Connector (where fitted)


An auxiliary air supply is available for the purpose
of inflating tyres, etc. The air supply operates at full
system pressure - 7 or 8 bar (100 or 115 lbf. in2) -
dependent upon system installed. When not in use,
ensure protective dust cap is fitted.
Always use a proprietary inflating gun, with gauge,
when inflating tyres. Connect the air hose to the air
outlet (1) located on the left-hand side of the rear
axle.

SECTION 3 - FIELD OPERATION

WHEEL TRACKS
Front Wheel Track Adjustment

! CAUTION !
Your tractor is produced with lights that meet
lighting regulations when operating or travelling on
the public highway. If the wheel track setting is
adjusted beyond the initial factory position then you
may be required to reposition the lights or fit
auxiliary lighting to comply with legal requirements.
Additionally, before travelling on the highway,
ensure that the overall tractor width does not
exceed the maximum permitted in your country.

340
Front wheel track adjustment is effected by
changing the wheel rim relative to the centre disc,
the rim disc relative to the axle hub or by inter-
changing the wheels.

! CAUTION !
Tractor wheels are very heavy. Handle with care
and ensure, when stored, that they cannot topple
and cause injury.

There are three different designs of centre disc


dependent upon tyre size and tractor model.
The centre discs shown are as follows:
341
Square centre disc - variable track (Type 1)
Round centre disc - variable track (Type 2)
Round centre disc - fixed track (Type 3)
The type of centre disc installed will affect the track
setting. Identify the type of centre disc fitted to your
tractor wheels, then refer to the following table and
Figure 353 to see the wheel rim and disc positions
necessary to achieve the required track setting.
NOTE: Variable track wheels (type 1 and 2), are
not available on tractors with 50 Km/h transmission.

342

3 - 119
SECTION 3 - FIELD OPERATION

! WARNING !
With a front wheel on a four wheel drive tractor
supported on a stand, never attempt to rotate the
wheel or start the engine. This may cause the rear
wheels to move resulting in the tractor falling from
the stand. Wheels should always be supported
such that the tyres are only just clear of the ground.

NOTE: When interchanging left and right-hand


wheel assemblies, ensure the “V” at the top of the
tyre tread remains pointing in the direction of
forward travel.
Front wheel drive tractors have fixed axle
assemblies. However the track width is fully
adjustable by changing the wheel rim relative to the
centre disc, the rim and/or disc relative to the axle
hub or by inter-changing both front wheels.
(The track width is the distance between the centre
of each tyre at ground level).
The sectioned drawings shown illustrate the wheel
rim and disc positions relative to the hub at various
track settings. The track widths available are as
follows:
Track Adjustment
Adjustable Rim (Types 1 and 2)

Position Track Adjustment


A 1552 mm (61.1 in.)
B 1664 mm (65.5 in.)
C 1758 mm (69.2 in.)
D 1869 mm (73.6 in.)
E 1952 mm (76.9 in.)
F 2064 mm (81.3 in.)
G 2158 mm (85.0 in.)
H 2269 mm (89.3 in.)

NOTE: The track widths in Figure 209, are nominal


and may vary by up to 25 mm (1 in.) dependent
upon tyre size.

! CAUTION !
Never operate the tractor with a loose wheel rim or
disc. Always tighten nuts to the specified torque
and at the recommended intervals. Owners should
ensure that all steering components are maintained
in a reliable and satisfactory condition to ensure
safe operation and comply with legal requirements.

Refitting the Front Wheels


When refitting or adjusting a wheel, tighten
the bolts to the following torques. Re-check after
driving the tractor for 200 m (200 yards), after
1 hour and again after 8 hours operation and
thereafter at the 50 hour service intervals:
Disc
to hub nuts 184 Nm (250 lbf. ft)
Disc
to hub nuts 155 Nm (210 lbf. ft)
NOTE: If your tractor is equipped with front fenders,
ensure there is adequate clearance under all
operating conditions. Adjust the steering stops and
or fender position, as necessary.

IMPORTANT: With the smaller track settings a foul


condition may occur between the tyre or fender and
the tractor when the wheels are turned to the full
lock position particularly when the axle is fully
articulated. To avoid this condition, adjust the
fenders and/or steering stops.

3 - 121
SECTION 3 - FIELD OPERATION

Steering Stops
Two steering stops are incorporated in the axle,
one at each end. The stops are adjustable and
should be set to provide a minimum clearance of 20
mm (0.75 in.) between the tyres and any part of the
tractor on full left and right lock with the axle fully
articulated.
To adjust, slacken the locknut (1) and turn the stop
bolt (2) anti-clockwise to reduce the steering angle
of the wheels or clockwise to increase the steering
angle. Tighten the locknut to 150 Nm (110 lbf. ft.).
NOTE: After adjusting both steering stops, ensure
that there is adequate clearance between the tyres
and any part of the tractor with the axle fully
articulated. 345

FRONT AXLE OSCILLATION STOPS


Axle oscillation stops are installed, one each side of
the axle. Each stop consists of a plate (1) secured
to the underside of the front axle support by two
flush fitting, socket head screws. Oscillation of
the axle causes the stop plate to contact the
projection (2) on the axle casing, so preventing
further movement. With the stop plates in position,
as shown, axle oscillation is 8°.
Extract the screws and remove the stop plates to
increase axle oscillation to 12°.
NOTE: If the oscillation stops are removed, ensure
that there is adequate clearance between the front
tyres and any part of the tractor with the axle fully
articulated. 346

3 - 122
SECTION 3 - FIELD OPERATION

Front wheel alignment


After resetting the track width, the front wheel
alignment may require adjustment. For correct
operation, the front wheels should be parallel.
Measure the distance (1) between the wheel rims
at hub height at the front of the wheels. Rotate
both front wheels 180° and check the
measurements again, this time at the rear of the
wheels (2). This will eliminate wheel rim run-out
errors.
The correct setting is 0 +/- 3.0 mm (0+/- 0.12 in.),
i. i. the measurement taken at the front of the rims
should be the same as the rear or not differ by more
than 3.0 mm (0.12 in.)
Should it be necessary to adjust the front wheel
alignment, proceed as follows:

347
Remove and discard the self-locking nut (2) on the
left-hand end of the track control rod and extract the
track rod end (1).
Loosen the lock nut (3) and screw the track rod end
into or out of the track rod to shorten or lengthen
the assembly, as required.
Re-insert the track rod end and, when the
alignment is correct, secure with a new self-locking
nut.
Tighten the nuts to the following torques:
Model Self-locking Locknut

3 - 123
SECTION 3 - FIELD OPERATION

ADJUSTING THE REAR WHEEL TRACKS


Your tractor may be fitted with a fixed flange type or
bar type rear axle. With a fixed flange type axle rear
wheel track adjustment is effected by changing the
wheel rim relative to the centre disc, the rim and/or
the disc relative to the axle hub or by inter-changing
the rear wheels.
With bar axles, the same method of adjustment
applies but with the added advantage of being able
to move the wheel hub on the axle shaft. This
provides an infinite range of adjustment between
the narrowest and widest settings.

349

! CAUTION !
Your tractor is produced with lights that meet
lighting regulations when operating or travelling on
the public highway. If the wheel track setting is
adjusted beyond the initial factory position then you
may be required to reposition the lights or fit
auxiliary lighting to comply with legal requirements.
Additionally, before travelling on the highway,
ensure that the overall tractor width does not
exceed the maximum permitted in your country.

350

! CAUTION !
Tractor wheels are very heavy. Handle with care
and ensure, when stored, that they cannot topple
and cause injury.

NOTE: There are four different designs of centre


disc dependent upon tyre size and tractor model.
The centre discs shown are as follows:
Square centre disc - variable track (Type 1)
Round centre disc - variable track (Type 2)
Cast centre disc - variable track (Type 3)
Round centre disc - fixed track (Type 4)
NOTE: Variable track wheels (type 1, 2 and 3), are
not available on tractors with 50 Km/h transmission. 351
The type of centre disc installed will affect the track
setting. Identify the type of centre disc fitted to your
tractor wheels, then refer to the following table and

BAR AXLE (where fitted)

! CAUTION !
Your tractor is produced with lights that meet
lighting regulations when operating or travelling on
the public highway. If the wheel track setting is
adjusted beyond the initial factory position then you
may be required to reposition the lights or fit
auxiliary lighting to comply with legal requirements.
Additionally, before travelling on the highway,
ensure that the overall tractor width does not
exceed the maximum permitted in your country.

Introduction
Tractors equipped with a bar axle may have a steel
or cast centre disc (pos. 2, Figure 220) mounted on
a cast iron hub (3). The hub is clamped to the bar
axle (1). With a cast centre disc, the hub is an
integral part of the disc.
NOTE: Variable track wheels (type 1, 2 or 3), are
not available on tractors with 50 Km/h transmission.
Three bar axle lengths are available - 2490 mm
(98 in.), 2845 mm (112 in.) and 3022 mm (119 in.).
The wheel may be moved along the bar to provide
a range of track widths. Depending on tyre size, a
range of 190 mm (7.5 in.) per wheel or 380 mm
(15 in.) overall is available with the 98 inch axle.
If the 112 inch axle is installed, the range is 354
increased to 735 mm (29 in.) and with the 119 inch
axle, 914 mm (36 in.) overall.
Track width adjustment is effected by moving the
complete wheel/hub assemblies in or out on the
axle shaft. Additionally, repositioning the wheel rim
on the centre disc and/or the rim on the axle hub or
by inter-changing the rear wheels provides a
greater range of adjustment.
Tractor wheels are very heavy. Therefore it is
recommended that you do not remove them to
reposition the rims on the disc unless the track
setting required is outside the slide range of the bar
axle.

SECTION 3 - FIELD OPERATION

MOVING A WHEEL ON THE AXLE SHAFT


Block the front wheels and jack up and support the
rear axle.
Adjustment of the track setting is achieved by
sliding the complete wheel/hub assembly on the
axle shaft.
Loosen the two centre wedge bolts (1) Figure 221,
approximately 12 mm (0.5 in.). Remove the four
outer wedge bolts (2).
Clean the threads on the four bolts and the
threaded holes in the wedges before lubricating
and installing the removed bolts at (pos. 1,
Fig. 356). These bolts are used to push against the
wheel or hub to withdraw or “jack” the wedges from
the hub. Tighten these bolts evenly until the
wedges loosen in the hub and the wheel assembly
can be moved on the axle shaft.

! WARNING !
Never operate the tractor with a loose wheel rim or
disc. Always tighten nuts to the specified torque 355
and at the recommended intervals.

IMPORTANT: Do not use a torque greater than


407Nm (300 lbf. ft.). The use of penetrating oil
between the wedge, hub and axle shaft will be of
benefit. If difficulty is experienced, place a shaft
protector over the end of the axle shaft and strike
with a hammer to “shock” the wedge free.

! WARNING !
Take suitable precautions. This includes using
safety glasses against the possibility of possibility
of flying metal particles.

Set the wheel to the desired position on the shaft. 356


Remove the jack bolts and replace them in the
original holes (2, Figure 355).

suspension, correct ballasting is essential to
optimise suspension operation, particularly when
using heavy rear mounted equipment. For this
application, sufficient front ballast must be added
by the use of water weights in preference to liquid
ballast in the tyres.
In certain conditions, with insufficient front weight
added, suspension operation may become
disabled and error code L7 displayed. Stop the
tractor, switch off the engine and restart again to
clear the error code and enable the suspension. If
the error code re-occurs, then further front weight
should be added. Ensure that maximum axle and
vehicle weights are not exceeded.

Factors Affecting Tyre Performance

z Correct air pressure for the load

z Correct wheel slip

z Correct tyre size for expected load

z Correct fill of liquid ballast

z Maintaining equal tyre pressure in both tyres on


a given axle.
Selecting Ballast
When tractor horsepower loads vary, the optimum
weight of the tractor will change. This means that
ballast may have to be added or removed to
maintain the best tractor performance.
Proper ballast will greatly improve tractor operation
and ride.

SECTION 3 - FIELD OPERATION

Installing Wafer Weights


To install the weights, hook the upper part of the
weight over the lip on the carrier and then slide to
the centre of the carrier. A recess in the lower part
of the weight will interlock with a locating pad
beneath the carrier. Add more weights as
necessary and clamp together using the long bolts
and retaining plates supplied. Use the correct
length of bolt to clamp the weights together and
tighten the retaining nut to a torque of 169 Nm
(125 lbf. ft.).

! CAUTION !
The tractor must not be operated unless all bolts
and clamps are in position with the bolts tightened 365
to 169 Nm (125 lbf.ft.). Recheck the bolt torques
after 50 hours of operation if the bolts have been
disturbed for any reason.

To remove the weights, reverse the above


procedure.
When the front towhook is installed, the weight
pack is secured by a pin passing through the rear of
the towhook segment into the weight carrier. Do not
operate the tractor without this pin installed and the
retaining “R” clip (1) inserted to prevent the pin from
becoming dislodged.

366

If the front weights and weight carrier are not


installed, a tow pin is available for bolting directly to
the front axle support.

SECTION 3 - FIELD OPERATION

Liquid Tyre Ballasting


Filling the front and rear tyres with liquid ballast is a
convenient method of adding weight. A solution of
calcium chloride and water is recommended. This
gives a low freezing point and provides a higher
density than plain water.

IMPORTANT: In some countries it is illegal to use


calcium chloride as a ballast solution for tyres.
Ensure that you comply with the legal requirements
of your country. Use cast iron weights as an
alternative to liquid ballast.
NOTE: When filling a tyre with calcium chloride/
water solution the valve should be at the highest
point on the wheel. The valve should be at the
lowest point when checking or adjusting air
pressure if the tyre contains liquid ballast. Special
equipment is required to water ballast tyres.
See your authorised dealer or tyre supplier for
details.
The following tables show the quantity of calcium
chloride and water required for each tyre size
option and is based on 0.6 kg of calcium chloride
per litre of water. The figures in the table will give a
75% fill of the tyre. This calcium chloride/water
solution will give protection from freezing down to
an ambient temperature of -50°C (-58°F).

! WARNING !
When mixing the ballast solution it is imperative the
calcium chloride flakes are added to the water and
the solution stirred until the calcium chloride is
dissolved.
Never add water to calcium chloride as
considerable heat is generated. If the flakes should
contact the eyes, wash the eyes immediately with
clean, cold water for at least 5 minutes. Consult a
doctor as soon as possible.

NOTE: Liquid ballasting of front tyres on a 2WD


installation is not recommended.

! DANGER !
Inflating or servicing tyres can be dangerous.
Whenever possible, trained personnel should be
called in to service or install tyres. In any event, to
avoid the possibility of serious or fatal injury, follow
the safety precautions below:

z Never attempt tyre repairs on a public road or


highway.

z Do not inflate steering tyres above the


manufacturer’s maximum pressure shown on
the tyre or beyond the maximum shown in the
Tyre Pressure and Load tables if the tyre is not
marked with the maximum pressure.

z Do not re-inflate a tyre that has been run flat or


seriously under-inflated until it has been
inspected for damage by a qualified person.

z Torque wheel to axle nuts to specification after


re-installing the wheel. Check nut tightness
daily until torque stabilises.

z Refer to tractor weighting section before adding


ballast to the tyres.

z Ensure the jack is placed on a firm, level


surface.

z Ensure the jack has adequate capacity to lift


your tractor.

z Use jack stands or other suitable blocking to


support the tractor while repairing tyres.

z Do not put any part of your body under the


tractor or start the engine while the tractor is on
the jack.

z Never hit a tyre or rim with a hammer.

TYRE PRESSURES AND PERMISSIBLE LOADS


(Radial tyres)
Radial tyre performance is denoted by a Load
Index and Speed Symbol replacing the Ply Rating
commonly found on cross ply tyres. Figure 368
shows typical markings to be found on the side wall
of radial ply tyres.
NOTE: Radial tyres will have a speed symbol of
.A8. and/or .B. which identifies the maximum speed
rating for that tyre. Tyres marked with the A8
symbol are suitable for speeds up to 40km/h
(25 MPH), those marked with a “B” symbol may be
operated at speeds of 50km/h (31 MPH).
The maximum load that may be carried by the tyre
is dependent upon the Load Index shown on the 368
side wall. In the following charts the loads given are
for individual tyres operated at speeds up to 40 or
50 km/h (25 or 31 MPH). The two right-hand
columns indicate the maximum permissible load
per tyre at speeds of 40 or 50 km/h (25 or 31 MPH).

PROTECTIVE GUARDS

! CAUTION !
Guards are fitted for your protection, if they are
removed for access to service items, they must be
replaced before operating the tractor.

ENGINE HOOD
For safety the hood must be closed and correctly
latched before operating the tractor.
The hood is hinged at the rear to provide easy
access to the engine area for routine maintenance.
Two gas struts (located under the hood) assist in
raising the hood to either of two positions. A safety
stay holds the hood in the selected position.
To open the hood, depress the release button (2),
and raise the hood using the grab handle (1).
The gas struts will take over and raise the hood to
the first position secured by the nylon retaining
strap located at the front of the hood. All routine
maintenance operations may be performed with the
hood raised to this position. 371

Additional guards are provided to prevent the


fingers being trapped by the fan/air conditioner
drive belt when the hood is lowered to the operating
position.
Should it become necessary to raise the hood to its
full extent, unclip the retaining strap (1) from its
anchor bracket and, holding firmly onto the strap,
allow the hood to raise fully on the gas struts.

NOTE: Raising the hood to full height is only


necessary for service requirements that are best
left to your dealer.
To close the hood, pull it fully down ensuring the
retaining strap has been re-fitted to the anchor
bracket. An audible click will signal engagement of
the locking catch. Check that the hood is properly
closed.

Engine Side Panels


The engine side panels are secured by two turn
lock screws (1). Using a screwdriver with a broad
blade, turn the screws 1/4 turn anti-clockwise to
release. Hold the panel at the centre, pull outwards
and slide towards the front of the tractor until it
clears the front and rear support pins.
To refit the side panels, reverse the above
procedure ensuring both screws are locked before
operating the tractor.

373
RIGHT-HAND FOOTSTEPS
The right-hand footsteps on your tractor are
mounted on a hinged support bracket.
For improved access to the hydraulic oil filter(s),
battery, etc., the footsteps can be quickly lowered
by releasing the two locking catches (1).
To release the catches, lift and rotate to the
horizontal position.
Pull the steps outward from the top and allow to
drop downwards until fully lowered.
When raising the steps to the working position,
ensure both catches are securely locked.

SECTION 4 - LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE

LUBRICANTS AND COOLANTS


Lubricants
The correct engine oil viscosity grade is dependent upon ambient temperature. Refer to the chart on the right
when selecting oil for your tractor engine.
NOTE: In areas where prolonged periods of extreme temperatures are encountered, local lubricant practices
are acceptable; such as the use of SAE 5W30 in extreme low temperatures or SAE 50 in extreme high
temperatures.
Sulphur in Fuel
The engine oil and filter change period are shown in section 4. However, locally available fuel may have a
high sulphur content, in which case the engine oil and filter change period should be adjusted as follows:
Sulphur Content Oil Change Period
Below 0.5 Normal
From 0.5-1.0 Half the normal
Above 1.0 One quarter normal
NOTE: The use of fuel with a sulphur content
above 1.3% is not recommended.
Coolants
To reduce the amount of deposits and corrosion,
the water used in the cooling system must comply
with the following values.
Total Hardness: Chloride: Sulphate:
300 ppm 100 ppm 100 ppm

IMPORTANT: See Operation 30 page 4 - 46,


regarding use of coolant inhibitor where the above
mentioned antifreeze is not available. In those hot

CHECK ENGINE COOLANT LEVEL
Check the coolant level in the recovery tank (2)
when the engine is cold. The coolant level should
be above the bottom line (3) on the recovery tank. If
coolant is required, remove the cap (1) and add a
50/50 water and antifreeze mixture as specified on
page 4 - 9 of this Manual.

! WARNING !
The cooling system operates under pressure which
is controlled by the pressure cap on the coolant
expansion tank. It is dangerous to remove the cap
while the system is hot. When the system has
cooled, use a thick cloth and turn the pressure cap
slowly to the first stop and allow the pressure to
escape before fully removing the cap. 386
Never remove the cap from the top of the radiator
unless the expansion tank pressure cap has first
been removed.

! CAUTION !
Coolant should be kept off the skin. Adhere to the
precautions outlined on the coolant filter and
antifreeze container.

NOTE: If no coolant is visible in the recovery tank,


the coolant level must be checked in the radiator.
Check the system for leaks and repair as required.
Remove the radiator filler cap when the system is
cold. Add coolant as required to bring the level to
just below the top of the filler neck. Install the cap
and add coolant to the recovery tank, as described
above.

COOLING SYSTEM
During manufacture, the engine cooling system is
filled with a high quality antifreeze and water
solution. The antifreeze contains a chemical
inhibitor. This inhibitor increases and extends the
protection offered by conventional antifreezes.
The inhibitor will:

z Increase rust prevention.

z Reduce scale formation.

z Minimise cylinder wall erosion (pitting).

z Reduce foaming of the coolant.

The chemical inhibitor must be replenished, at


intervals, to maintain the optimum protection level.
This protection is provided by draining and flushing
the system and refilling with a 50% solution of
Akcela Premium Antifreeze or, where this
antifreeze is not available, with a measured dosage
of chemical inhibitor. See the following text.
Draining and Refilling the Cooling System

! WARNING !
The cooling system operates under pressure which
is controlled by the radiator pressure cap (1). It is
dangerous to remove the pressure cap while the
system is hot. When cool, use a thick cloth and turn
the cap slowly to the first stop and allow the
pressure to escape before fully removing the cap.
Coolant should be kept off the skin. Adhere to the
precautions outlined on the antifreeze and inhibitor
containers, where used.

IMPORTANT: It is essential that an approved


pressure cap is used. If the cap is mislaid or
damaged, obtain a replacement from your dealer.

(48 lbs.) carried in the cab. 475

NOTE: To provide optimum suspension


performance, the weight of any heavy items carried
in the cab (tow chains, linkages, toolboxes etc.)
must always be taken into consideration when
adjusting the suspension.
The cab suspension adjustment has five pre-load
settings which can be “clicked” into position by
rotating the upper pre-load adjuster. Each setting is
identified by vertical markings (2) on the lower
collar. When adjusted correctly, the arrow on the
upper collar (1) will align with the vertical markings
on the lower collar.
Select position I for operators having a lighter body
weight than 68kg (150 lbs.), positions III and IIII are
used for operators with a heavier body weight. With
two people in the cab, positions IIII and IIIII should
be used.

IMPORTANT: For correct suspension operation it is


vital that both suspension units are adjusted to the
same setting. An imbalance in adjustment will 476
cause unnecessary wear on the suspension units.
A “C” spanner is included in the tractor tool kit for
adjusting the cab suspension. Engage the “C”
spanner in the slot of the pre-load adjuster and
rotate to the desired position.

Certain of the rocker switches are internally
illuminated, the bulb being removeable from the
rear of the switch assembly.
The switch assembly is retained by a sprung tag (3)
at either end. Use a small screwdriver to pry one
end of the rocker switch from the sheet metal and
withdraw the switch assembly.
To change a bulb, press in the tag (2) using a small
screwdriver and pull the bulb retainer (1) from the
back of the assembly. The bulbs are of the capless
type, rated at 1.2w and are a push fit in the retainer.
After changing the bulb, push the retainer into the
back of the switch assembly until the tag locates in
the aperture. Re-install the switch assembly. 488

FUSES AND RELAYS
The fuse box is located behind a panel on the top of
the right -hand control console.
To check or change fuses, remove the two screws
securing the panel to the console. The fuses and
relays are shown diagrammatically in Figures 490
and 491. In addition to the main fuses there are
additional “maxi” fuses which are provided to
protect the main fuses and electrical circuit.
There is provision for 60 fuses although they may
not all be fitted to your tractor. In addition, certain
items of equipment may not be installed on your
tractor. However, the fuses for these features are
still fitted and may be used as spares.

IMPORTANT: Do not replace a blown fuse with


another of a different rating. 489

The fuses are numbered and colour-coded.


Their position and rating are shown in the chart on
the next page.
More relays are located behind the front of the
right-hand control console, Figure 490.

490
In addition to the fuses in the internal fuse box,
there are also extra fuses located on the battery
tray. A 250 amp `MEGA` fuse (1) which protects the
main electrical system and three 30 amp fuses (2)
which protect the front lift electrical system,

15 amp load, in conjunction with a residual current
circuit breaker or earth leakage trip device.

This accessory consists of a heating element fitted


into one of the core plug apertures on the right-
hand side of the block. The heater is available in
115 or 230 volts A.C only. This accessory provides 503
easier starting down to -29 °C (-20 °F).
To operate the heater, connect the heater extension
cable to the socket (1) adjacent to the right-hand
cab steps. Plug the free end of the heater cable into
a suitable electrical outlet for up to four hours
before carrying out the cold weather starting
procedure.

TRANSMISSION OIL HEATER


This accessory consists of a 115 or 230 volts A.C.
heating element installed in the transmission
housing. Connect the heater extension cable to
the plug (1) on the left side of the rear axle
housing. This accessory provides for faster warm
up of the transmission/hydraulic oil when
operating in cold climates.
To operate the heater, connect the plug on the free
end of the heater cable to a suitable 115 volt outlet
(using a voltage transformer, if necessary) for up to
four hours before starting the engine.
NOTE: The coolant or transmission heaters may be
left plugged in for more than four hours without
harm. However, no noticeable increase in the 504
heater’s effectiveness will be achieved after this

IMPORTANT: After turning the tractor key-start off,


wait for 60 seconds before isolating the battery
power. This will permit any unsaved information in
the tractor electronic processors to be memorised.
An inbuilt power reserve will maintain a small
amount of power to supply the electronic
processors and radio memories when the tractor
battery is isolated.
Electronic Operation
The solenoid operated battery isolator is controlled
by a switch (1) located on the left-hand cab “C”
pillar. 1
Depress the top of the switch to disconnect battery
power, an audible warning will sound for
approximately 5 seconds. Depress the bottom of
the switch to re-connect battery power.

IMPORTANT: When in the “ON” position, the


isolator switch solenoid consumes a small amount
of electrical power. If the tractor is left for an
extended period of time with the isolator on, battery
power may be reduced. Always turn the battery
isolator switch “OFF” when the tractor is not in use. 509

NOTE: The key-start switch must be in the “OFF”


or “ACCESSORIES” position to operate the battery
isolator, it will not function with the key-start in the
“ON” (run) position.
Mechanical Operation
The mechanical isolator switch is attached to the
battery carrier on the right-hand side of the tractor.
Rotate the switch 1/4 turn anti-clockwise (position
“O”, red background) to disconnect battery power.

SECTION 6 - ACCESSORIES

DYNAMIC FRONT FENDERS


Two types of optional front fender are available,
both offering a full range of adjustment to suit
varying tyre sizes and track widths. The method of
adjustment is very similar for both, but the following
text describes the setting of the dynamic fender.
Ensure all fixing bolts are re-tightened after
adjustment.

Dynamic fenders turn with the front wheels as the


tractor is steered. As the steering angle increases,
a spring centred pivot in the fender mount restricts
the turn angle of the fenders. This prevents
interference with the tractor hood or loader frame
while allowing the wheels to continue turning
beneath the fender. As a result, tighter turns can be
achieved that would not be possible with a
conventional fender, particularly at narrower track
settings.

Lateral adjustment, fender support


A fender may be moved horizontally, towards or
away from the tractor, by relocating the metal
shims (2) either side of the fender support (1).
Vertical adjustment
The fender may be moved vertically by relocating
the bolts (3) in the appropriate holes in the fender
support. A number of the holes are elongated
allowing the fender to be tilted forward or rearward.

511

Fender turn stop


An adjustable stop bolt (3), is fitted to both fender
support brackets. When turning, the bolt contacts a
fixed stop (2) on the axle housing restricting the
angle at which the fender will turn while allowing
the wheels to continue turning beneath the fender.
The stops may require adjusting if the track width or
tyre size is changed.
Lateral adjustment, fender
The support and bracket attachment points (1)
beneath the fender, provide further lateral
adjustment allowing the fender to be centered over
the tyre.
Narrow Track Settings
With certain options and/or tyre sizes, the smaller 512
track settings may not be attainable due to minimal
clearance between tyre or rim and any part of the
fender or attaching hardware.

Rear Axle/Hydraulics Oil Level when using Remote Hydraulic Equipment


When checking the rear axle oil level, it is good practice to ensure that the oil is up to the full mark on the
dipstick with the tractor parked on level ground. However, when connecting auxiliary equipment to the remote
control valves it should be remembered that the equipment utilises oil from the rear axle and could seriously
lower the oil level. Operating the tractor with a low oil level may result in damage to the rear axle and
transmission components.
With the rear axle oil level up to the full mark on the dipstick, the following maximum oil volumes may be
taken from the rear axle to power auxiliary equipment without the need to further top up the system:

Operating stationary equipment on level ground: 21 litres (22.8 U.S. qts)

Operating while driving in normal conditions


(flat fields) for short periods only: 15 litres (15.8 U.S. qts)

Operating in. other conditions, including longer periods of use 9 litres (9.5 U.S. qts)

Conversely, the maximum amount of oil that may be added to the rear axle above the normal FULL level is
7 litres (7.3 U.S. qts). With this quantity added to the rear axle, the quantities stated above may be increased
by the same amount, 7 litres (7.3 U.S. qts), but no more.
