SELECTIVE CATALYTIC REDUCTION (SCR)

What is Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR)?
Your machine is equipped with additional components to comply with national and local exhaust emissions
requirements. The main components of the SCR system include the SCR catalyst, the Diesel Exhaust Fluid
(DEF)/AdBlue injection unit, the DEF/AdBlue tank, and the DEF/AdBlue dosing control unit.
How does Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR)

work?
During combustion, harmful Nitrogen Oxide (NOx) molecules are formed in the exhaust. By injecting a
DEF/AdBlue solution into the exhaust prior to a catalyst, the NOx can be converted to harmless elemental
Nitrogen and water. This happens when the NOx molecules react inside the catalyst with the heat generated
by the engine and the ammonia in the DEF/AdBlue solution.
During cold engine operation at low engine coolant and ambient air temperatures, water vapor will be visible from
the exhaust when the engine operates. This water vapor will resemble steam or light white smoke and will
dissipate as the engine and machine components warm and is considered normal.
What is Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF)/AdBlue ?

DEF/AdBlue is a non--toxic aqueous urea solution (32.5 %) with a slight ammonia odor used to chemically
reduce NOx emissions from heavy--duty diesel powered vehicles. DEF/AdBlue is neither explosive nor
harmful to the environment and is classified under the minimum--risk category of transportable fluids.
DEF/AdBlue quality is defined by ISO 22241--1. The American Petroleum Institute (API) has a voluntary
certification program for DEF/AdBlue. To ensure DEF/AdBlue satisfies the requirements of ISO 22241, look
for the API DEF Certification Markt whenever you purchase DEF/AdBlue.

the tractor lights are turned on.
22
Heater Temperature Control
Turn the knob (2) clockwise to increase the

temperature of the air from the heater. Turn fully
anti-clockwise to obtain unheated air from the heater
vents.
Blower Control
A 4-speed blower is installed for the heater (and air

conditioner, where fitted). Turn the switch (1)
clockwise to the first position for low speed. Further
rotation of the switch in a clockwise direction will
increase the fan speed. 23
With the windows closed, the blower may be used to

pressurise the cab to exclude dust etc. Provided that
the cab air filters are serviced correctly, maximum
pressurisation and optimum dust exclusion may be
achieved by operating the blower at maximum fan
speed.
2--12
Adjustable Air Vents
Adjustable air vents are provided throughout the cab

for even distribution of heated or cooled air. Vents are
located each side of the operators 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
operator. The two vents located on the upper part of
the instrument console may be adjusted to demist
the windscreen.
To open the circular vents (1) each side of the

instrument console, press one side of the disc and 24
then turn it, as required, to direct the air flow.
Lift the tag on the rectangular vents to open, and then

adjust for air flow and direction as required.
Air Conditioner Switch
Depress the switch (3), to activate the air conditioner

compressor and lower the temperature of the air
within the cab. The air conditioner will only operate
with the blower (1) switched on.
IMPORTANT: The air conditioning system uses

R134A refrigerant. Do not mix with other refrigerants.
To quickly reduce in cab temperature operate the 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.
25
Under certain conditions, it may be desirable to
operate both the air conditioner and heater together,
e.g. to demist the windscreen and interior door glass
on a cold morning. (The air conditioner, 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--13
When the windows are clear, turn the air conditioner

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 conditioner has been out of use for more
than 30 days.
IMPORTANT: Always turn the air conditioner off

when cooled or de-humified air is not required. For
proper operation of the air conditioner, ensure that the
cab air filters are serviced regularly. See section 4.
WARNING
The refrigerant used in the air conditioner system
has a boiling point of --12 C (10 F).
 Never expose any part of the air conditioner

system to a direct flame or excessive heat
because of the risk of fire or explosion.
 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.
 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.
 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 conditioner

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--14
Automatic Temperature Control (ATC)

(where fitted)
Automatic Control
With Automatic Temperature Control the operator

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 29 C (84
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 26

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.
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.
2--15
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.
Economy and Defrost Switch
The economy and defrost switch has three positions:

1. Left side depressed. ECONomy mode on, air
conditioner off.
2. Central position. ECON and MAX DEF off, air
conditioner on.
3. Right side depressed. MAX DEFrost on.
When the external air temperature is low, operating

the air conditioner may not be necessary to maintain
a constant temperature inside the cab. To turn off the
air conditioner, depress the ECON side of the switch. 27
NOTE: The air conditioning compressor uses engine

horsepower to drive it. Turning off the air conditioner
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
conditioner.
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
conditioner (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--16
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 re--circulation filter (2).
Move the slider control (1) fully to the right for
maximum air re--circulation.
WARNING
The cab air filter is designed to remove dust from the
air but will not exclude chemical vapour. Follow the
chemical manufacturer’s directions regarding
protection from hazardous chemicals.
28
Cab Air Filters
When operating in conditions where chemical

vapours may be present, the external cab air filters
(2) may be replaced with carbonised filters to help
reduce the ingress of some chemical vapours.
Consult your authorised dealer.
CAUTION
Use only genuine New Holland filter elements when
renewing cab air filters. When replacing used filters,
follow local regulations in the disposal of
contaminated elements.
29
Safety Precautions
Although it is possible to pressurise the cab interior

to reduce ingress of chemical vapour, the
recommended safety procedures, as stipulated by
the chemical 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--17
Cab Pressurisation Monitor

(where fitted)
To help reduce the amount of dust and chemical

vapours entering the cab, the blower can be used to
raise the air pressure inside the cab above that of the
external air pressure. 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 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 the lower edge of the yellow indicator enters the red
section of the gauge, carry out the checks below for
safe operation. 30
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.
If the blower is unable to maintain the correct

pressure inside the cab then the following checks
should be made to determine the cause.
1. Check blower is on maximum speed.
NOTE: If Automatic Temperature Control is

activated it may be 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 panels.
If, after all the checks have been made the cab
interior pressure cannot be maintained, consult your
authorised dealer.

2--73
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: See page 2--77 to 2--84 for an explanation of

warning and advisory symbols.
This may be accompanied by the illumination of a

warning light and an audible alarm depending on the 130
severity of the fault. Consult your authorised dealer.
Active and Non Active Warnings
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 the display.
For more severe faults the Amber warning light may

remain illuminated until the fault is rectified.

Resetting the Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system
After a failure or warning has been set, the SCR system must perform automatic tests to determine if failures
or warnings have been resolved. The system must perform the following actions in order to recognise the
resolved failures or warnings and reset itself.
 For DEF/Adblue level warnings:

 Key switch must be cycled OFF then ON.
 For poor DEF/Adblue quality warnings:
 Machine must be operated for approximately 20 min at a minimum of 50% load.
 For SCR system warnings, one of the following conditions must occur, depending on the exact cause of the

 Requires the machine to be operated for approximately 20 min at a minimum of 50% load to operate
the SCR system.
 Requires starting and running the engine, but does not require the SCR system to operate.
 Requires the key switch to be cycled OFF then ON.
Validation re--starts
Validation re--starts allow operation of the machine for up to 30 min without power loss after a poor DEF/Adblue
quality or SCR system fault has been detected . Up to three re--starts are permitted. Re--starts are counted if
either of the following conditions are met:
 Engine speed exceeds 1000 RPM
 Engine running time exceeds 5 min

Normal operation will resume if a reset is detected within the 30 min window.
If a reset is not detected within 30 min, power loss will occur as described in the table above.
If all three validation re--starts have been used and the system has not been reset, the machine is limited to
emergency re--starts only. Contact your local authorised dealer for repair.
Emergency re--start
NOTE: Emergency re--starts are only enabled after the allowable number of validation re--starts have expired.
If full power loss is experienced, it may be impossible for the machine to move under its own power. Emergency
re--starts are available to provide the capability to move the machine.
 Allows 30 s of operation without power loss.
 After 30 s the engine shuts down automatically.

BRAKE CONTROLS AND OPERATION
Tractor Brake Controls
The operation of the tractor brake controls is very

similar on both Power Command and Auto
Command transmissions. However, where there is a
difference in functionality, this is highlighted in the
specific transmission text.
Handbrake
A conventional handbrake lever is installed to the left

of the driver’s seat.
To apply the handbrake, pull the lever up. A warning

light will illuminate in the instrument panel when the
handbrake is applied. To release, ease the lever up
further, depress the button (1) on the end and lower
the lever fully.
IMPORTANT: Ensure the handbrake is fully

released before driving off.
136
Electronic Park Brake
In addition to the handbrake, the transmission on

your tractor may be fitted with an electronically
operated park brake (EPB). This is engaged using
the shuttle lever.
EPB will automatically engage at key--off irrespective

of the shuttle lever position or if the operator leaves
the seat . It will also be applied if the tractor has been
stationary for more than 45 seconds.
From the rest position (3), move the shuttle lever

downward against spring pressure and forward to 137
the park brake position (5).
Moving the shuttle lever to the electyronic park brake

position while the tractor is in motion will cause the
transmission to slow the tractor to a stop and then the
brake will be applied.
2--85
When the electronic park brake is engaged, ’P’ will

appear in the transmission display to confirm
engagement.
To disengage the brake, move the shuttle lever from

position (5) to the drive position. The symbol in the
display will disappear, the park brake will release and
drive will be engaged.
EPB can also be released by moving the shuttle lever

to the drive position with the clutch pedal depressed.
The symbol in the display will disappear and the park
brake will disengage. The tractor will drive when the
clutch pedal is released. 138
Alternatively, EPB may be released without selecting

drive by moving the shuttle lever to the rest position
(3) and simultaneously depressing the neutral button
and brake pedals. Before carrying out this
procedure, the handbrake MUST be applied as the
tractor may inadvertently move.
The park brake is automatically engaged in the

following situation.
 At engine stop (key--off).
 The operator leaves the seat for more than five
seconds.
 Tractor is stationary for more than 45 seconds.
To disengage the brake, sit in the seat, depress the

clutch pedal and move the shuttle lever into forward
or reverse drive.
2--86
Manual Release of the Electronic Park Brake
In the unlikely event that EPB cannot be disengaged

using the shuttle lever, it is possible to release the
brake manually. Before releasing the brake, apply
the handbrake and chock the rear wheels to prevent
unexpected tractor movement.
The park brake unit is located at the rear of the tractor

on the left--hand side of the cab. Access to the motor
drive can be gained through a hole in the bottom of
the guard.
NOTE: For clarity, the illustration shows the park 139

brake assembly with the cover removed.
Remove the rubber plug (1) from the end of the motor
drive and insert the special tool (2) upwards through
the guard until it connects with the motor drive shaft.
It may be necessary to rotate the tool slowly until it
is felt to engage with the motor drive.
NOTE: The release tool is attached to the handbrake

cover in the cab.
Rotate the tool clockwise until the park brake is

released. When it has been released, remove the
tool and re--attach to the handbrake cover. Replace
the rubber plug in the motor drive.
140
NOTE: After the park brake has been manually
released, tractor speed will be restricted to 2 Km/h
(1.2 MPH) until the fault is rectified and the park
brake has been re--programmed.
Re--Programme Electronic Park Brake

Operation
In the event EPB has to be mechanically released,

or if there has been a failure of the power supply to
the lock, operation of the park brake will need to be
re--configured.
Should a fault occur, the brake engaged symbol will

appear in transmission display, this will be
accompanied by the park brake and amber warning
lights flashing.
141
2--87
With the vehicle stationary, ensure the handbrake

lever is released then depress and hold the
footbrakes.
With the footbrakes applied, depress the neutral

button and move the shuttle lever to the engaged
position (5). The park brake symbol will appear in the
display to confirm engagement. Once the EPB is fully
engaged, normal operation will be reinstated.
If the fault does not clear, consult your authorised

dealer.
NOTE: In an emergency, the tractor may be driven 142

a short distance with the park brake engaged,
however the speed will be limited to a maximum of
2 Km/h (1.2 MPH).
Electronic Park Brake (EPB) -- Auto Apply Inhibit
Where it is necessary to leave the tractor in neutral

and temporarily prevent the self--engagement of
EPB or Park Lock (with engine running or for key--off)
with the operator out of the driver’s seat, this can be
achieved by carrying out the following procedures:
NOTICE: The following procedures are independent

of each other and must be selected individually.
1. EPB Auto Apply Inhibit -- Engine Off.
This allows the tractor to be maneuvered with engine

shut off and EPL temporarily released.
1. With the Key start in the ON position and EPB

released.
2. Press and hold the shuttle lever fully down (to
position 4) and depress the brake pedals for
more than 3 seconds.
143
2--88
3. The EPB inhibit symbol will be displayed and

park brake warning lamp will be displayed.
4. Key--off whilst holding shuttle lever and brake
pedals down. The EPB will not be applied.
5. If the tractor is keyed on again, standard
operation will be returned.
NOTICE: This procedure will not release the EPB
if already applied.
144
2. EPB Auto Apply Inhibit -- Engine Running.
With the engine running and the EPB released:
1. Press and hold the shuttle lever fully down (to

position 4) and depress the brake pedals for
2. The EPB inhibit symbol will be displayed and
park brake warning lamp will be displayed.
3. Release the shuttle lever to position 3 and
release the brake pedals.
The operator can now leave the seat. The EPB will
145
not be applied.
The instrument display will cycle between the
standard display information and the EPB inhibit icon
every 5 seconds.
If the key switch is turned OFF and ON standard

operation will be returned.
If the shuttle lever is shifted to park, forward or

reverse, standard operation will be returned. Driver
must be in the seat and cycle the clutch pedal to
engage drive.
NOTICE: This procedure will not release the EPB

if already applied.
146
2--89
Exhaust Brake (where fitted)
NOTE: The exhaust brake is an option on tractors

fitted with air braking systems only.
The exhaust brake is generally used in road transport

operations to gradually slow the tractor without using
the footbrakes. It is especially useful to reduce or
maintain a controlled speed when descending a long
hill with a heavy trailer or implement attached to the
tractor drawbar.
IMPORTANT: When using the exhaust brake to

control tractor speed do not allow the engine speed 147
to exceed 2400 r.p.m. Apply the footbrakes to slow
the tractor or, where appropriate, change to another
gear.
An exhaust brake works by restricting the flow of

gasses from the engine through the exhaust system.
When the exhaust brake pedal (1), is depressed, a
valve in the outlet from the exhaust manifold closes
and the resulting back pressure in the combustion
chamber slows the engine.
When the exhaust brake is activated the fuel system

is electronically shut down and the engine throttle
controls become inoperative. If the engine speed
falls below 1200 r.p.m., the exhaust brake is
electronically released and normal engine
performance is re--instated.
2--90
Footbrakes
The brakes on your tractor are power assisted and

actuated by the two foot pedals (1) and (2). When
operating in the field they may be unlocked and
operated independently, to aid turning in confined
spaces.
When independent braking is not required, ensure

both pedals are locked together to provide normal
braking.
WARNING
On four wheel drive tractors, drive to the front axle 148
can be programmed to automatically engage at
speeds between 1 k/mh (0.62 MPH) and 8.5 Km/h (4
MPH) to provide four wheel braking when the brakes
are applied. Consult your authorised dealer.
Owners should be aware of the effectiveness of four
wheel braking which greatly enhances braking
performance. Appropriate care should be exercised
during heavy braking.
IMPORTANT: Hydraulic and air applied trailer

brakes will only operate when both brake pedals are
applied.
WARNING
For your safety, always lock the brake pedals
together when travelling at transport speeds or if a
hydraulically braked trailer is attached to the tractor.
To lock the pedals together, engage the locking pin
in the right pedal and swivel the latch (1), over the left
pedal support to lock, as shown in Figure 148.
149
2--91
Clutch and Throttle Operation
Clutch/Inching 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 where the low ratios do not provide a slow
enough speed to give precise control.
NOTE: The clutch pedal incorporates a safety start

device and must be depressed when starting the
tractor engine.
150
IMPORTANT: To avoid premature wear, do not use
the clutch pedal as a footrest.
Foot Throttle
The foot throttle (1) may be used independently of

the hand throttle to control the speed of the engine.
It is recommended that you use the foot throttle when
driving on the highway.
NOTE: When the foot throttle is released, engine

speed will reduce to the level set by the hand throttle.
151
Hand Throttle
The hand throttle (1) may be used independently of

the foot throttle to control the speed of the tractor.
Move the throttle lever forward to increase engine
speed.
IMPORTANT: Always return the hand throttle to the

idle position when using the foot throttle for road
transport applications.
152
2--92
Transmission Operation
Power Command is an electronically controlled full

powershift transmission of an advanced design that
offers many automated functions for easier
operation.
IMPORTANT: In cold conditions where the

temperature of the transmission oil falls below 10C
(50F), upshifts may be restriced to the lower gears
until the transmission oil temperature is sufficienly
wamed for full operation. See page 3--5.
Subject to legal requirements in your country, the

following transmissions are available
50 Km/h (31.0 MPH) transmission.
19 forward and 6 reverse ratios
plus optional 10 x 6 creeper range
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.
40 Km/h (24.8 MPH) Economy transmission
plus optional 10 x 6 creeper range.
40 Km/h (24.8 MPH) transmission

35 Km/h (21.7 MPH) transmission

Details of creeper gear operation will be found on

page 2--108.
IMPORTANT: A tractor fitted with Power Command

transmission cannot be tow--started and must not be
towed other than to remove it from a field or onto a
trailer or truck. When towing the tractor, the speed
should not exceed 5k/mh (3.1 MPH) with the engine
switched off, or 10 k/mh (6.2 MPH) with the engine
running.
2--93
Powershift Control
Transmission shifts are selected by means of two

buttons the powershift control, the upshift button (2),
and downshift button (3). Changes can be made on
the move, under full power even when performing
heavy draft operations such as ploughing, etc.
Depress/hold the shift buttons to ramp up or down
through the gears.
A conveniently located shuttle switch (1) on the

powershift control can be used to select forward or
reverse drive.
Depress the top of the switch for forward drive or the

bottom of the switch for reverse drive. It is not
necessary to depress the clutch pedal when using 153
the switch.
NOTE: Initial drive direction must always be selected
using the shuttle lever. Subsequent direction
changes may be made using the switch on the
powershift control.
2--94
Shuttle Lever
To select the direction of travel, lift the shuttle lever

towards the steering wheel and move it to the forward
(1) or reverse position (2). Symbols in the
transmission display will confirm the direction of
travel selected.
If the optional electronic park brake (EPB) is fitted,

move the lever from position (5) and select drive
direction. On tractors not equipped with the optional
electronic park brake, the shuttle lever will not have
this position.
IMPORTANT: When moving the shuttle lever from

park to the drive position, the transmission will be in 154
neutral. Ensure the handbrake is applied or depress
the foot brakes before moving the shuttle lever.
NOTE: It is not necessary to depress the clutch pedal

when operating the shuttle lever.
On releasing the shuttle lever, it will return to the rest

position (3) Figure 155. This is NOT the neutral
position. To select neutral, depress the button (1)
Figure 154 on the end of the lever. When neutral is
selected ’N’ will appear in the transmission display.
Where EPB is fitted, the shuttle lever is also used to

apply the park brake, position (5). See page 2--85.
NOTE: On tractors equipped with the optional

electronic park brake, ’P’ will be shown in the display
in place of ’N’.
To select forward or reverse drive from stationary the

operator must be in the tractor seat. If the shuttle
lever is moved from the mid position without the
operator in the seat, drive will not engage.
To re--engage drive, the operator must be in the seat

with neutral selected, then depress and release the 155
clutch pedal.
The shuttle lever can be operated when the tractor

is on the move without the driver being seated,
irrespective of speed.
2--95
WARNING
To prevent inadvertent tractor movement, always
place the shuttle lever in the rest position and
depress the neutral button. Firmly apply the
handbrake or, where fitted, engage the electronic
park brake. Switch off the engine before leaving the
tractor. The Power Command transmission will not
prevent the tractor from rolling when the engine is
shut off.
NOTE: If the shuttle lever is moved into the drive

position and the operator attempts to drive off with
the handbrake applied, a warning will appear in the
transmission display and an audible alarm will be
heard.
156
2--96
Transmission Display
The transmission display provides information on

transmission functions including tractor direction,
creeper speeds, auto functions, and the current gear
selected.
1. Currently selected gear marker (black).
2. Target gear marker (blue, flashing).
3. Currently selected gear (figure in bold).
4. Selected tractor direction.
5. Reverse gear (figure in light blue).
157
6. Auto Mode display. Where a transmission auto

function is engaged, the number of auto gears
available are indicated by the bracket on the left
of the marker display.
7. With Auto Transport engaged a trailer symbol will

appear in the display, in Auto Field this will be
replaced by a plough symbol.
158
2--97
Driving the Tractor
Before starting the engine, depress and hold the

clutch pedal, ensure the handbrake is applied and
the shuttle lever is in the neutral position. ’N’ will be
shown in the transmission display. Where the
optional electronic park brake is fitted, ’P’ will be
displayed.
With the engine idling, select forward travel by pulling

the shuttle lever toward the steering wheel, against
light spring-pressure, and move it up. The figure for
the start--off gear will shown in the transmission
display. 159
NOTE: When the tractor is initially started and the

shuttle lever moved into forward drive (1), the
transmission automatically selects 7th as the default
gear or, where programmed, the start--off gear.
The neutral symbol ’N’ will be replaced by a tractor

symbol with an arrow showing that forward drive has
been engaged. If reverse is selected the arrow will
appear behind the tractor. Each time a different
direction is selected, the arrow will confirm this
change.
On release, the shuttle lever will return to the rest

position (3). 160
NOTE: On tractors without electronic park brake,

shuttle lever positions (4) and (5) are not available.
Once moving, select the required gear using the

upshift button, as previously described. An example
of a gear display is shown in Figure 161 where the
tractor and arrow symbols indicate forward and ‘12’
indicates that 12th. gear is selected. The target gear
is 15th as indicated by the flashing marker.
The markers for gears 13 and 14 will change to black

as the transmission upshifts to 15th. At this point the
flashing blue marker will be replaced by a black
marker.
NOTE: The figure for the current gear/direction

selected will always appear in bold. 161
2--98
An alternative lower or higher gear may be

preselected before pulling away. However, if a gear
higher than 14th is selected then the transmission
ECU (electronic control unit) will select 12th, this
being the highest gear permissible when pulling
away from a standstill.
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 ’snowflake’ warning symbol will appear in the
transmission display Figure 162. When the symbol
disappears from the display the transmission will
function normally. See page 2--77 for details.
162
To reverse the direction of travel, reduce engine

speed, pull the shuttle lever up towards the steering
wheel, then move it down. Alternatively, the shuttle
switch on the powershift lever can be used to change
direction.
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.
When performing shuttle operations in a high gear,

for example with 15th. selected, moving the shuttle 163
lever to the reverse position, will cause the
transmission to select the highest available ratio in
reverse which is 6th. gear.
When the shuttle lever is moved forward again 12th.

gear will be selected.
2--99
Auto Shift Function
Engaging Auto shift permits automatic gear

changing in the forward ratios. Two auto shift ranges
are available:
Auto Transport (1) --

1 -- 18 (35 Km/h (21.7 MPH) transmission)
1 -- 18 (40 Km/h (24.8 MPH)transmission)
or, 1 -- 19 (50 Km/h (31.0 MPH) and
40Km/h (24.8 MPH) economy
transmissions)
Auto Field (2) --
a range of five gears may be selected between
ratios 1 and 14. This range of gears may be
expanded if required, see page 2--103. 164
Auto Shifting in Auto Transport
While travelling forward in any gear between 1st and

14th, press and release the Auto button twice (1)
Figure 164, this will provide Auto shifting from 1st
gear upwards. If the button is pressed once the
transmission will select Auto Field. When travelling
forward in 15th gear or higher, press Auto button
once to select “Auto Transport Shifting”. This will
provide Auto Shifting from 1st gear upwards.
Where required, the range of Auto shift gears can be

programmed to provide a higher Start Off Gear
(SOG) than the default gear (1st). Any gear between
1 and 12 can be selected as the Start Off Gear. To set 165
the SOG, proceed as follows.
. Work condition
. Driveline
Touch the Auto Trans. Lower Gear display (1), a

pop--up menu will appear listing the alternate SOG
gears. Select the new SOG by touching the
appropriate figure. The setting will be automatically
saved and the display will return to the Driveline
screen.
. Back to return to the main screen.
166
2--100
NOTE: If the Start Off Gear(SOG) is higher than 1st,

then the higher gear must be selected before Auto
Transport can be engaged.
Once selected, the transmission will make automatic

shifts, up and down from either the current gear or
the Start Off Gear(SOG) whichever is the minimum
to the highest gear, as dictated by engine torque,
speed, and the use of brakes and foot throttle.
NOTE: Where a situation demands, i.e moving off on

a steep hill with a fully loaded trailer, a lower start off
gear than the one programmed may be required. In
this instance, the tractor will move off in the SOG but
will quickly downshift to a lower gear for acceleration.
Once moving, the tractor will upshift again. This will
not affect the SOG setting.
If the tractor is brought to a halt by depressing the

clutch pedal with a gear below the SOG currently
engaged, then the tractor will move off in the same
gear when the clutch pedal is released. As the speed
increases the transmission will automatically upshift
and the SOG setting will not be affected.
The driver can, if required, use the upshift button to

manually select a higher gear to move off i.e. 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 control.
To disengage the Auto shift function and return to

manual shifting, press and release the Auto button
(1).
Auto Transport goes into stand--by mode if reverse

direction is selected. Auto Transport is resumed
when forward is selected again.
167
2--101
Auto Shifting in Auto Field
While operating in any forward gear between 1 and

14, press and release the Auto button (1).
Dependent on load and speed, the transmission will
now make automatic shifts within a span of five
gears.
However, if the tractor is travelling in a high gear, then

the number of the upper gears may be restricted as
14th is the highest possible gear in Auto Field.
The gear currently selected will already be shown in

the transmission display. When Auto Field is 168
engaged a plough symbol will appear in the
transmission display along with the upper and lower
auto range gears.
Example 1: While operating in 6th. gear, depress the

Auto button (1), the marker bracket will indicate a
gear span of 5 gears, 4 to 8, as being the auto field
range. Automatic shifts can now be made between
gears 4 and 8.
Example 2: With 13th gear selected and displayed,

press the Auto button. The figures for gears 11 and
14 will appear indicating the transmission will make
automatic shifts between 11th and 14th gears.
169
Auto Shifting and ’Go To’ modes
If the transmission is already in ’Go To’ mode (see

page 2--105) when the Auto Field function is selected,
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--102
Changing the Gear Span
The range of five Auto Field gears may be expanded

both up and down on the move, using the shift
buttons (1) and (2).
Example 1:
Raising the Auto range upper gear limit:
While operating in the 5th to 9th gear range as
previously described, upshift to 9th gear. On
reaching 9th gear press the upshift button (1) once
to select 10th gear. When the tractor has upshifted
to 10th, press the button again to select 11th gear.
Auto shifting is now provided between 5th and 11th 170
gears. The figure 5 will continue to display identifying
this as the lowest gear currently available in Auto
Field.
Example 2:
Reducing the Auto range lower gear :
Assuming 5th has been selected as the lowest Auto
gear, slow the tractor until 5th gear has been
engaged. Then, using the downshift button (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 14 as auto gears in Auto Field.
Reducing the number of Auto gears
If necessary, the number of gears available in Auto

Field may be reduced by using the upshift and
downshift buttons in the following way.
Example 1:
Reducing the upper Auto gear limit:
If the upper gear limit is set as 9th in the display, use
the downshift control (2) Figure 170, to slow the
tractor until the desired upper auto gear is engaged.
This now becomes the new upper limit auto gear as
confirmed in the Auto display.
171
Example 2: Raising the lower Auto gear limit:
With the tractor stopped and the engine running,
depress the Auto button (1). Momentarily depress
the upshift button (1) Figure 170, to raise the lower
auto gear limit. When the desired gear is selected
release the upshift, this now becomes the new lower
auto gear.
2--103
Standby mode
Auto Field and Auto Transport will be put into the

standby mode when:
 The 3 point hitch is raised.
 The clutch pedal is depressed.
 Shuttle lever is moved from the forward drive
position
While in the standby mode the upper and lower auto
gear figures will flash, this will not affect the
established shift parameters which will remain in the
Auto function memory.
To exit the programme
The Auto Field and Auto transport functions may be

exited in two ways:
1. Momentarily depress the Auto button while in
Auto Field or Auto Transport mode.
2. Engage creeper gears.
172
2--104
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 selecting the Auto Field
function whereby the tractor will also automatically
upshift again on lowering the implement.
To programme ’Go To’ mode, proceed as follows.
Start the engine then press and hold the Auto button
(2).
Within one second, press and release the top of the

fast raise switch (1) to raise the implement. Release
the Auto button.
173
The transmission display will show the current auto
gear span.
Select the required ‘Go To’ gear using the upshift or

downshift control.
The figure for the ’Go To’ gear, if different to the

currently engaged gear, will flash in the display,
Press/release the Auto button to save the setting.
To activate ’Go To’ mode, lower the implement by

momentarily depressing the bottom of the switch (1).
When the fast raise switch is now used to raise the
implement the ’Go To’ gear will be engaged.
NOTE: Auto shift in the field range is disengaged

every time the implement is raised and re-engaged
when it is lowered.
174
2--105
To disengage ’Go To’ mode and return to normal

shifting, press and hold the Auto button. Within one
second depress the top of the fast raise switch (1),
to raise the implement.
NOTE: With Auto shift selected in conjunction with

the ’Go To’ mode, the lowest gear in the Auto function
becomes the ’Go To’ gear.
175
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.
As the tractor slows, depress and release the clutch

pedal. The transmission will automatically select a
lower gear to match engine speed with road speed.
NOTE: Speed Matching will function down to the

Start Off Gear.
If 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.
If required, the operator can 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 Start Off Gear to the highest gear.
2--106
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.
For applications such as loader work, this

transmission offers the ability to set the reverse gear
up to three ratios higher or lower than the current
forward ratio.
To change the reverse ratio offset, proceed as

follows:
. Work condition
. Driveline
Touch the FWD/REV Gear Offset display (1) a

pop--up menu will appear from which the gear offset
can be selected. Choose the gear offset (+ or --) by
touching the appropriate figure. The setting will be
automatically saved and the display will return to the
Driveline screen.
176
To set the forward/reverse gear offset to standard (no
offset) touch +0.
. Back to return to the main screen.
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, if travelling forward in ratios F1--6, the

transmission will always behave as if ratio 7 is
selected. Therefore, if the transmission has been
programmed to select 2 ratios higher in reverse, then
R3 will be selected.
2--107
CREEPER GEARS
(where fitted)
For operations requiring extra low ground speeds,

creeper gears are available.
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 using the following

procedure.
Downshift to 1st gear and, with the engine running,

depress and hold the clutch and brake pedals.
Depress and hold the downshift button until the
transmission shifts to 10th gear in the creeper range.
The symbol for the creeper speeds will appear in the
Release the downshift button and the clutch and

brake pedals. The appropriate creeper speed can
now be selected using the upshift and downshift
buttons. 177
To re--engage the standard gear ratios, upshift to

10th creeper speed and depress/hold the clutch and
brake pedals. Hold down the transmission upshift
button until 1st gear is engaged, the creeper symbol
will disappear from the display.
IMPORTANT: The creeper gears offer very low

ground speeds. Do not use the low gearing
advantage to apply excessive draft loads to the
tractor.
2--108
Transmission Error Codes
In the unlikely event of a fault occurring in the

transmission controls or electronic circuit, a
malfunction symbol and a four-digit error code, will
appear in the dot matrix display. Error codes for the
transmission will start with the figure ’2’.
The code indicates the faulty circuit or sensor and the

type of fault, e.g., open circuit, short circuit, etc. In
this event, the tractor will require the attention of your
authorised dealer.
Should a fault occur causing the tractor to become

disabled, contact your authorised dealer and report
the error code displayed. 178
There are a number of ’action required’ error codes

which can also appear in the transmission display,
these are listed below.
Error
Code Action Required
P Parking brake or park lock on, release to
move tractor.
CP Depress clutch pedal to enable
transmission (restore drive).
N Place the shuttle lever in neutral.
Transmission Calibration
Should transmission shifts become slow or jerky, the

clutches in the transmission may require
re--calibrating. Consult your authorised dealer.
2--109
Ground Speed Charts
The ground speed of your tractor may be displayed

on the instrument panel. If your tractor is equipped
with radar then the ground speed displayed will be a
true reading. Tractors without radar will display a
ground speed that is subject to minor inaccuracies
due to the effects of wheel slip, tyre pressures,
change of tyre size, etc. See Calibrating the Ground
Speed, page 2--54.
The charts starting on page 2--111 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.
IMPORTANT: The gear speeds shown in the charts

are approximate and will vary depending on the
make of tyre, pressure and load.
If tyres of a different size are fitted to your tractor,

ensure the Ground Speed Calibration procedure has
been carried out to provide an accurate ground
speed in the instrument panel display.
Calculating P.T.O. Speeds
The gear speeds shown in the ground speed charts

are calculated at a rated engine speed of 2200 r.p.m.
To determine the ground speeds for P.T.O.
operations divide the ground speeds in the chart by
the rated engine speed and multiply by the P.T.O.
engine speed.
For example, to determine the ground speed at 540

rev/min P.T.O. speed in gear F8 (6.4 Km/h) use the
following calculation:
6.4 (Km/h)  2200 (rated speed) x 1950 (P.T.O. erpm)

= 5.67 Km/h (3.52 MPH).

2--114
Auto Command is an electronically controlled

continuously variable speed transmission. Both auto
and manual transmission modes are possible
allowing the operator to select the most suitable
mode for the task in hand.
The Auto Command transmission does not operate

with fixed ratios but allows the operator to choose a
combination of engine speed and transmission ratio
to maximise the power available or to operate in the
most economical way possible.
With an Auto Command transmission,

groundspeeds are not linked to engine speed i.e. a
specific groundspeed can be achieved at a high or
low engine r.p.m. provided it is within the current
speed range.
IMPORTANT: A tractor fitted with an Auto Command

transmission cannot be tow--started and must not be
towed other than to remove it from a field or onto a
trailer or truck. When towing the tractor, the speed
should not exceed 5k/mh (3.1 MPH) with the engine
switched off, or 10 k/mh (6.2 MPH) with the engine
running.
IMPORTANT: In cold conditions where the

temperature of the transmission oil falls below
specified limits, operation of the Auto Command
transmission is restricted and an automatic warm up
procedure is initiated. See page 3--5.
Footbrake, Clutch and Hand Throttle Controls
Auto Command Footbrake Operation
WARNING
For your safety, always lock the brake pedals
together when travelling at transport speeds or if a
pneumatic or hydraulically braked trailer is attached
to the tractor. To lock the pedals together, engage the
locking pin in the right pedal and swivel the latch (1),
over the left pedal support to lock, as shown.
179
2--115
When applying the footbrakes or electronic park

lock, the transmission ratio is automatically adjusted
to slow wheel speed and reduce the load on the
engine. This aids the braking effect and reduces
wear on the tractor brakes. On release of the brake,
the transmission will revert to normal operation.
Where it is found necessary to operate the tractor

under power and lightly apply the implement brakes
i.e. to prevent a jack--knife situation when crossing a
side slope with heavy trailer attached, depress and
hold shuttle switch and apply the footbrakes. When
travelling forward, depress the top of the switch (1)
or, if travelling rearwards, the bottom of the switch
(2).
IMPORTANT: The footbrakes must be applied within

five seconds of depressing the shuttle switch. If the
footbrakes are released for more than five seconds,
the shuttle switch must be released and depressed
again before re--applying the brakes.
180
Drive will return to normal when the footbrakes or
shuttle switch are released.
Auto Hold Function with Electronic Park Brake
The Auto Command transmission has an auto hold

function which allows the tractor to maintain a
stationary position on a slope without applying the
footbrakes, handbrake or park brake.
The Auto Hold function is activated automatically

and will hold the tractor on a slope for up to 45
seconds after which the electronic park brake will
automatically engage and ’P’ will appear in the
transmission display. To release the park brake move
the shuttle lever to select the required direction of
travel. 181
2--116
Clutch/Inching Pedal
A clutch pedal (1) is provided but is not required for

range changes or forward/reverse shuttle
operations.
The clutch pedal is required only for starting the

engine, positioning the tractor to attach equipment or
to give precise control of tractor speed when
operating in confined spaces.
With Auto Command, depressing the clutch pedal

can be used to assist when braking the tractor in
emergencies as it instantly disconnects power from 182
the wheels.
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

the clutch pedal as a footrest.
2--117
Hand Throttle Controls
With Auto Command, two engine speed controls are

provided. The hand throttle (1) is used to set the
engine speed at the desired level. Move the lever
forward to increase engine speed, move it rearwards
to decrease the speed.
The engine droop control (2) is used to set a limit on

the maximum or minimum engine speeds depending
on operation. In normal operating modes the upper
r.p.m. can be limited, in P.T.O. mode the minimum
r.p.m can be set. These can be set to promote good
fuel economy or to keep the engine operating in a 183
specific power/torque band.
If the r.p.m is set is too high, or too low, the engine

may not be able to sustain this speed. When setting
the engine speed limit, the operator should always
take into account additional weight on the tractor
including the implement or attachment, and the
current operating conditions.
In Auto, Cruise and P.T.O. modes, the operation of

both controls can be combined to maintain a specific
speed or power level at which the engine is to be
operated. Either control can be used to set the lowest
engine ’lugging’ r.p.m.
NOTE: Both controls may be used independently of 184

the foot throttle to control engine speed.
IMPORTANT: It is always advisable to return the

hand throttle to the idle/off position when using the
foot throttle for road transport applications.
If the load on the tractor increases to a level where

performance cannot be maintained at the current
speed control settings, the engine will attempt to
compensate, within the set limits, for the additional
load. Should the load be too great for the engine to
overcome, then the transmission ratio will change to
reduce the load.
During operation it may be necessary to make fine

adjustments to both controls until the engine speed
remains within the required economy/power band.
By continually matching engine speed to

transmission ratio, Auto Command is able to
maintain a constant wheel speed.
2--118
Shuttle Lever
To select the direction of travel, lift the shuttle lever

towards the steering wheel and move it forwards or
rearwards. Symbols in the transmission display will
confirm the direction of travel selected.
As an alternative, the shuttle buttons on the travel

lever may be used for direction changes except in the
following circumstances:
 After initial start--up.
 If Neutral has been selected.
 If the electronic park brake has been applied. 185
Where a change of direction has been selected with

the tractor moving at speed, the arrow for the new
direction will appear and start to flash. When the
tractor changes direction the arrow will cease to flash
and will remain displayed.
On releasing the shuttle lever, it will return to the rest

position (3) Figure 186. With the lever In this position
transmission drive is still engaged and the tractor can
move, this is NOT the neutral position.
To select neutral, depress the button (1) Figure 185

on the end of the lever. When neutral is selected ’N’
will appear in the transmission display.
IMPORTANT: Always select the park brake position

(5) Figure 186, before leaving the seat.
The shuttle lever is also used to select the park brake

position (5). See page 2--85. 186
Each time the shuttle lever is used to change tractor

direction, direction arrows in the transmission display
will confirm the new direction.
2--119
NOTE: If the shuttle lever is moved from neutral to

drive with the handbrake applied, transmission drive
is engaged but the display will still show ’P’. Release
the handbrake and re--select drive direction with the
shuttle lever.
At start--up, or if the operator has left the seat for

more than five seconds, forward/reverse drive must
initially be selected using the shuttle lever.
Subsequent direction changes can be made using
the shuttle lever or the shuttle switch (1) on the travel
lever, Figure 187.
WARNING
Before the operator leaves the seat, the handbrake
and/or park brake MUST be engaged or the tractor
could inadvertently move.
If the operator leaves the seat for more than 5 187

seconds with the engine running and without
engaging the electronic park brake (EPB), the
transmission will not drive until the operator is
re--seated and the clutch pedal has been cycled
(depress/release).
Should the operator attempt to make a direction

change while not in the seat, transmission drive will
be disabled and the tractor will slow to a stop.To
re--enable drive, the operator must be in the seat with
the clutch pedal depressed before moving the shuttle
lever to engage drive.
NOTE: If drive is not re--enabled within 5 seconds,

EPB will automatically apply. Release the park brake
by selecting forward or reverse with the shuttle lever.
NOTE: Neutral start switches prevent operation of

the starting motor unless the operator is in the seat
with the clutch pedal depressed, neutral engaged 188
and the shuttle lever held in the down position (4) or
placed in the park brake position (5).
2--120
Travel Lever
The Auto Command travel lever has two main

functions. It is used to adjust the forward and reverse
tractor speed and also acts as a shuttle control.
Lever movement is momentary, it will automatically
return to the rest position when released. If moved to
the full extent of its travel in the forward or reverse
direction the tractor will accelerate to the target
speed.
Move the lever forward against spring pressure to

engage forward drive, move rearwards to engage
reverse drive.
Operation of the travel lever is progressive, the

further the lever is moved before it is allowed to return
to the rest position, the higher the tractor speed will
be.
If the lever is moved a short distance from the rest

position the tractor will accelerate to the equivalent
speed for that position, further movement of the lever
beyond the first position will provide a faster speed.
189
To decelerate the tractor move the travel lever in the
opposite direction to which the tractor is travelling.
By moving the lever a short distance within the gate,
the tractor will decelerate slowly. When the desired
tractor speed is reached allow the lever to return to
the rest position and the tractor will maintain that
speed.
For rapid deceleration move the lever the full extent

of travel and hold in that position, the tractor will
decelerate quickly. For maximum deceleration also
apply the tractor footbrakes. When the desired
speed has been reached, allow the lever to return to
the rest position. When moving the lever to the
maximum deceleration position, front axle drive will
be engaged to enhance the deceleration process.
To bring the tractor to a complete stop, continue to

hold the lever in the maximum deceleration position
until the tractor comes to a halt then return the lever
to the rest position. To engage drive again, move the
travel lever from the rest position to the desired
direction of travel.
2--121
If tractor speed is being controlled by the foot pedal,

it is possible to transfer control to the travel lever in
the following way. Maintain pressure on the foot
pedal and move the travel lever in the direction of
travel until the tractor is felt to respond to the lever
movement. Hold the lever in that position and release
the foot pedal.
Allow the travel lever to return to the rest position and

the tractor will maintain the current speed.
Switches and buttons on the travel lever control the

main Auto Command functions.
1. Shuttle switch. Depress the top of the switch to

select the forward direction, depress the bottom
to select reverse direction. It is not necessary to
depress the clutch when operating the shuttle
switch.
2. Cruise mode button C. Engages/disengages

cruise mode. This button also sets the cruise
speed.
3. Speed range selector - . Depress this button to

190
select a lower speed range.
4. Speed range thumbwheel. Each speed range

can be adjusted to provide a specific target
(maximum) speed. Rotate the thumbwheel
upwards to increase the speed setting, rotate
downwards to decrease the setting.
The thumbwheel is speed sensitive, when turned

slowly the speed will gradually change. When
rotated quickly the speed increments will change
faster.
NOTE: The thumbwheel can be used to increase or

decrease the target speed when the tractor is in
motion.
5. Speed range selector +. Depress this button to

select a higher speed range.
If the tractor is stopped for more than 45 seconds, the

electronic park brake will automatically engage and
drive selection, using the travel lever or shuttle
switch, will be de--activated. To reactivate drive, the
shuttle lever must be used.
2--122
Rate of Acceleration Control
The Rate of Acceleration control allows the operator

to choose the rate at which the tractor will accelerate
when the travel lever is moved or foot pedal
depressed. It will also have an effect on shuttle
reaction when changing vehicle direction.
To change the rate of acceleration, depress the

switch (1). Each time the switch is depressed the
number of lights that will illuminate will change. With
a single light on, the acceleration rate will be at the
minimum setting, with three lights illuminated the
rate of acceleration wil be at the maximum setting. 191
NOTE: Where the rate of acceleration is limited by

the amount of engine power available, selecting a
higher rate will not increase the performance. Check
to ensure the throttle allowable setting, page 2--118,
is not affecting the acceleration rate.
The functionality of the acceleration control is the

same for all transmission modes.
2--123
Foot Pedal
With an Auto Command transmission, the foot pedal

can be used to control engine speed and/or tractor
ground speed. In Auto and Cruise modes, the foot
pedal is used to control tractor ground speed but not
engine speed.
Fully depressing the foot pedal will accelerate the

tractor to the target speed in the currently selected
speed range.
The foot pedal will revert to a conventional throttle

control when the transmission is in Manual mode, 192
Neutral, Park or when the clutch pedal is depressed.
When operating in Auto Command and Cruise

modes, initial movement of the pedal travel will
provide slow speed control of the tractor and can be
used to ’inch’ the tractor when attaching implements
or other equipment.
The foot pedal can also be used to increase tractor

speed above that set by the travel lever providing
lever speed is below the maximum for the selected
range.
However, depressing the foot pedal will override

travel lever operation and the tractor will slow to a
stop when the pedal is released.
NOTE: The automatic 4WD engagement feature for

rapid deceleration when using the travel lever is not
available on the foot pedal.
The foot pedal (1) may be used independently of the

hand throttle or travel lever to set the speed of the
tractor.
NOTE: When the foot pedal is released, tractor

speed will be reduced to that set by the hand throttle
and travel lever (Manual mode) or the programmed
cruise speed (Cruise mode). In Auto mode the
tractor will continue to slow to a stop unless the travel
lever is used to re--engage drive.
When the transmission is in neutral or in manual

mode, or when the shuttle lever is in park, the foot
pedal operates as a conventional foot throttle to
control engine speed.
2--124
Speed Ranges
Auto Command has three programmable speed

ranges selected by depressing the range switches
on the travel lever. Depress + (1) to select a higher
speed range, press -- (2) to select a lower range.
Within each of the three ranges, the speeds are

variable from zero to the target (maximum) permitted
tractor speed. Rotate the thumbwheel (3) clockwise
to increase the range speed, anti--clockwise to
decrease the speed.
The thumbwheel is always used to set the target 193

speed.
The thumbwheel is speed sensitive, when turned

slowly the speed will gradually change. When rotated
quickly the speed increments will change faster.
The transmission display shows the target speed for

each of the three ranges. When the tractor is moving
the actual speed is shown at the bottom of the
display.
When adjusting the speed ranges, the target speed

in each range should be set higher than the range
below. In Figure 194, the speeds are shown as
follows.
Range F3 -- 50.0 K/mh
If a speed in a lower range is adjusted to a higher 194

setting than the range above, then the speed in the
higher range will automatically increase to match the
speed in the lower range.
Conversely, if a speed in a high range is adjusted to

be less than the range below, then the speed in the
lower range will change to match the new high range
speed setting.
Once a speed has been set within a range, it then

becomes the target speed for that range. For
example, if a speed of 5 Km/h (3.1 MPH) is set as the
target speed for range 1, moving the travel lever fully
forward will accelerate the tractor to the target speed.
2--125
It is important to note that achieving the target speed

in any range will be dependant on available engine
power. Where the tractor is operating with a heavy
implement or trailer, or working in hilly terrain, a high
target speed may not be achievable until the load on
the tractor is reduced.
Where there is a need to temporarily reduce tractor

forward speed, the lever can be pulled into the
reverse gate to slow the tractor. When tractor speed
has reduced sufficiently, allow the lever to return to
the rest position. From the rest position push the
lever fully forward and the tractor will accelerate back
to 5 Km/h (3.1 MPH).
The opposite will apply when travelling in the reverse

direction.
Where the travel lever has been used to provide 50%

of target speed in one range, selecting an alternate
range will not change the 50% of target speed
setting. However, if the target speed for the new
range is higher than the previous range, then the
tractor will accelerate to 50% of the higher target
speed.
If a range is selected that has a target speed below

the current tractor speed, then the current travel
speed will become the new target speed for the lower
range.
Speed Increments
There are two sets of speed increments depending

on whether the transmission is operating in Km/h or
MPH. By slowly rotating the thumbwheel (3) the
speeds will be adjusted as shown below.
Speed Setting Increments (Km/h)

0.03 -- 0.10 Km/h, in 0.01 Km/h steps.
0.10 -- 0.22 Km/h, in 0.02 Km/h steps.
0.25 -- 1.0 Km/h, in 0.05 Km/h steps.
1.0 -- 10.0 Km/h, in 0.10 Km/h steps.
10.0 -- 15.0 Km/h, in 0.20 Km/h steps. 195
15.0 -- Maximum speed, in 1.0 Km/h steps.
2--126
Speed Setting Increments (MPH)

0.02 -- 0.10 MPH, in 0.01 MPH steps.
0.10 -- 0.22 MPH, in 0.02 MPH steps.
0.25 -- 1.0 MPH, in 0.05 MPH steps
1.0 -- 8.0 MPH, in 0.10 MPH steps
8.0 -- 15.0 MPH, in 0.20 MPH steps
15.0 MPH -- Maximum speed, in 1.0 MPH steps.
By turning the thumbwheel (1) quickly, some of the

above speed steps may be skipped.
The thumbwheel may also be used to adjust the

speed of the tractor whilst driving. By rotating the
thumbwheel upwards the target speed for the current
operating range will be increased.
Rotating the thumbwheel downwards will decrease

the target speed in the current range.
196
2--127
Transmission Display
The transmission display provides the operator with

information on tractor speed, direction and
transmission modes.
1. Forward Target Speed. Where the tractor is

being driven in a reverse direction, the maximum
speed attainable when selecting forward drive is
displayed here i.e. 20 MPH. When reverse is
selected the display will change to show the
target speed for reverse.
The operator is able to set the target speed for

each ’speed range’ using the thumbwheel on the
travel lever.
2. Current Range and Speed. The illustration

depicts that speed range F3 is engaged and the
maximum attainable speed in that range is 7
MPH (11.2 Km/h). When an alternate range is
selected, the frame surrounding the figures will
move to highlight the new range. When reverse
is selected the display will show R1, R2 and R3.
3. Control Position Bar Graph. The bar graph

displays the position of the transmission controls
as a percentage of total movement available on
the control currenlty being used to operate the
transmission. When the fill line in the graph
reaches mid--point the tractor will be travelling at
50% of the target speed in the currently selected
range.
IMPORTANT: If at any time a fill line is shown in the

graph at (3) then one of the transmission controls is
197
active and the tractor will move if the brakes are
released. When the bar graph is empty, the
transmission is not active.
4. Actual Ground Speed in Km/h or MPH.
5. Transmission Mode Display.

M = Manual Mode.
A = Auto Mode.
C = Cruise Mode.
= P.T.O. Active. (Auto and Cruise modes

only)
2--128
6. Reverse Target Speed. Where the tractor is

being driven in a forward direction, the maximum
speed attainable when selecting reverse drive is
displayed here i.e. 12 MPH.
7. b = Reverse drive engaged, this will appear

below the tractor symbol in transmission status.
8. Transmission Status. The symbol will change to

display the current transmission operating mode.
N = Transmission in neutral.
P = Electronic park brake applied.
= Transmission in travel mode, this will be

accompanied by one of the direction arrows 7
and 9.
9. y = Forward drive engaged, this will appear

above the tractor symbol in transmission status.
The direction arrows 7 and 9 are also used to confirm

a change of direction (shuttling) while the tractor is
moving. Where the tractor is travelling in the forward
direction and reverse is selected, the arrow for
reverse will appear flashing in the display. The
forward arrow will be continue to be shown in a solid
state.
198
When the tractor has changed direction the reverse
arrow will cease to flash and change to a solid state
and the forward arrow will disappear.
2--129
Transmission Operating Modes
Four operating modes are available with the Auto

Command transmission, these are:
1. Manual mode
2. Auto mode
3. Cruise mode
4. P.T.O. mode
NOTE: When activated, the corresponding symbol

for the mode selected will appear in the transmission
display.
Manual Mode (1)
In manual mode, the operator selects the

transmission range and the foot pedal and hand
throttle function in the normal way controlling engine
speed. Depress the switch (1) to engage manual
mode.
The current speed range, as selected by the

operator, will remain engaged until manually
changed. Engine speed is also maintained at the
current setting until changed by the operator.
However, should the engine speed fall below 1000
r.p.m. the transmission will automatically adjust the 199
ratio to prevent the engine from stalling.
In manual mode, the target speed for each range, as

set by the operator, can only be achieved at a rated
engine speed of 2200 e.r.p.m.. For example, if a
target speed of 5 Km/h (3.1 MPH) has been set in
Range F1, this speed can only be achieved at 2200
e.r.p.m.
NOTE: If operating below the target speed,

depressing the cruise switch will accelerate the
tractor to the target speed. This is providing the
engine speed is sufficient to allow this.
200
2--130
Where a transmission is operating at 50% of target

speed then selecting another range will have no
effect on this setting, the transmission will still
maintain 50% of the target speed. However, if the
target speed for the new range is higher or lower than
the previous one, then tractor speed will change to
50% of the new target speed.
In manual mode, the engine speed is controlled by

the foot throttle (1) or hand throttle (2).
NOTE: The engine droop control is inoperative in

Manual mode.
201
Auto Mode (2)
Auto mode is typically used for transport applications

where the automated functions will help to provide
optimum tractor performance at all times.
In Auto mode, tractor speed is controlled by the foot

pedal (2), or travel lever (1). The hand throttle (3) is
used to set the minimum engine speed.
Movement of the foot pedal or travel lever are in

direct relation to the target speed for each range.
Fully depressing the pedal or moving the lever the full
extent of its travel will provide a 100% of target speed 202
for the current range.
During operation, the Auto Command transmission

will always try to optimise engine speed within the
constraints of the hand throttle setting. To achieve
this, Auto Command will vary the transmission ratio
in order to maintain both wheel speed and engine
r.p.m. as close as possible to the set levels.
In Auto mode, it is possible to set the speed in range

F1 (or F2 and F3) to the maximum permitted speed
of the tractor. This will provide a totally automated
transmission speed function based on the position of
the foot pedal or travel lever.
2--131
Foot pedal travel is divided into two operating zones.

From rest (pedal up) to the mid point of pedal travel
(50% of target speed), the pedal acts as an
accelerator/decelerator in the normal way.
When the pedal is depressed beyond mid point the

tractor will continue to accelerate as the pedal is
depressed. When the desired speed has been
reached the pedal can be eased back to the mid
point, this will reduce engine r.p.m. but maintain
tractor speed.
Providing the pedal is not allowed to return beyond

mid point then tractor speed will remain constant. If 203
pedal is allowed to return above the mid point then
the tractor will begin to decelerate.
If the brake pedals are depressed while operating in

Auto mode the tractor will slow. When the brakes are
released the tractor will accelerate to the previous
speed.
If the speed has been set using the travel lever and
then the foot pedal is depressed to increase this
speed, the travel lever will be disabled and control of
tractor speed will revert to the foot pedal. Releasing
the pedal will slow the tractor to a stop.
It is possible to transfer speed control from the foot

pedal to the travel lever while the tractor is in motion.
Hold the foot pedal to maintain the desired tractor
speed then quickly move the travel lever to the full
speed position and back to the rest position.
If travelling forward move the lever forward, if in

reverse move the lever rearwards.
Where it is required to increase tractor speed,

holding the travel lever fully forwards (or reawards)
will cause the tractor to accelerate. When the desired
speed is reached, allow the travel lever to return to
the rest position.
Resetting Auto Mode
The current Auto mode settings can be reset by

engaging the park lock or by moving the travel lever
fully in the opposite direction to tractor travel. After
the tractor has come to a halt, new Auto mode
settings can be applied.
2--132
Cruise Mode (3)
Cruise mode is an extension of Auto mode. For

Cruise to operate the transmission must be in Auto
mode.
Cruise mode allows the operator to set a constant

wheel speed which is maintained by balancing
engine speed and transmission ratio. By
continuously monitoring engine and transmission
loads, Cruise will attempt to provide a constant travel
speed combined with good fuel economy.
In cruise mode the hand throttle is used to set the 204

minimum engine speed. Engine speeds above this
are controlled automatically.
By momentarily depressing the Cruise button (2), the

tractor will accelerate to the target speed set for the
current range. However, if the operator wishes to
maintain the present speed the button should be
depressed for one second before releasing. Cruise
will engage and the current tractor speed will be
maintained. The target speed for the selected range
will be updated to match the current speed.
The operator may increase or decrease the target

speed at any time with Cruise mode engaged. This
is achieved by rotating the thumbwheel (1). The new
speed will override the current setting to become the
new target speed.
With Cruise engaged, the foot pedal can be used to

temporarily override the speed setting by up to 10
Km/h (6.2 MPH). This will not affect the current
speed setting unless the increase in speed is above
the 10 Km/h (6.2 MPH) limit. Release the pedal and
the speed will return to the original setting.
In Auto and Cruise modes the tractor can be

accelerated from rest by holding the shuttle lever in
the direction of travel and simultaneously pressing
the Cruise button for more than 0.5 of a second.
Once moving, release the button and the tractor will
continue to accelerate to the target speed for the
current range.
2--133
Alternatively, the tractor can be moved from rest

using the foot pedal or travel lever. When the speed
is above 0.5 Km/h (0.31 MPH), depress the cruise
button and the tractor will accelerate to the target
speed.
Cancelling Cruise Mode
To cancel Cruise mode and return to pedal operation

carry out the following procedure. This applies to
both forward and reverse directions.
Depressing the Cruise button (2) will disengage

Cruise mode. However, if the operator wishes to
maintain tractor speed, depress the foot pedal to
maintain tractor speed then depress/release the
Cruise button.
Alternatively, move the travel lever the a minimum of

50% of its travel, in the opposite direction to tractor 205
travel and allow to return to the rest position. Cruise
will be disengaged but the tractor will maintain it’s
speed.
To slow the tractor, move the travel lever to the full

extent of its travel in the opposite direction and hold,
the tractor will decelerate.
Cruise mode may also be suspended by depressing

the brake pedals or by applying the handbrake or
park lock. Operating the exhaust brake will also
suspend Cruise mode. If the clutch pedal is
depressed after suspending cruise mode the tractor
will accelerate back to the original cruise speed
setting.
2--134
2nd Engine RPM Control
The function of the 2nd Engine RPM Control (1) is to

maintain an optimum engine speed as selected by
the operator.
By monitoring the 2nd Engine RPM Control will try to

maintain the most optimum engine speed for the task
in hand. If additional loads are imposed on the
engine, the 2nd Engine RPM Control will
automatically adjust the transmission ratio to
maintain engine speed.
A pop--up will appear in the colour display when the 206

as the 2nd Engine RPM Control is rotated for settings
to be made or adjusted. The pop--up will display both
hand throttle and 2nd Engine RPM Control settings
as r.p.m figures.
The amount of additional engine load which can be

applied before the 2nd Engine RPM Control is
activated is adjustable by the operator to provide a
speed ’band’ in which the engine will operate. This
figure can be shown in the colour display.
. Work condition
. Driveline
Normal Mode.
In normal mode the 2nd Engine RPM Control sets a

maximum engine speed as required for the task.
Select the desired engine speed using the hand
throttle. With the hand throttle set, rotate the 2nd
Engine RPM Control clockwise to set the maximum
permissible engine speed.
Once set, the engine will maintain r.p.m. within the

maximum and minimum speed settings.
P.T.O. Mode
In P.T.O. mode the 2nd Engine RPM Control,

controls the droop and sets a minimum r.p.m. below
which the transmission will change ratio to reduce
the load on the engine and thereby maintain r.p.m.
Set the hand throttle to the desired speed for correct
P.T.O. operation then rotate the engine droop control
anti--clockwise to set the minimum permissible
engine speed.
Once set, the engine will maintain r.p.m. within the

maximum and minimum speed settings.
2--135
DIFFERENTIAL LOCK
Four wheel drive tractors have a differential lock

installed in both front and rear axles to lock all four
wheels together in conditions where wheel slip may
occur.
The differential locks are controlled by two switches

on the control console to the right of the seat.
The differential lock(s) may be operated in manual

mode or automatic mode. To confirm operation, the
warning light in the switch will illuminate when
engaged. 207
WARNING
Avoid using the differential lock at speeds above
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.

FRONT AXLE SUSPENSION

(where fitted)
1
The optional, self-levelling, front axle suspension will
provide improved stability, control, comfort and
traction. Front axle suspension is automatically
activated each time the tractor is started but will not
function at speeds below 1.5 k/mh (0.9 MPH).
When operating at speeds up to 12 k/mh (7.4 MPH),

the front axle suspension may be locked out if not
required.
To lock out the suspension, press the switch (1), a 214

warning light (2) on the instrument panel will

Warming the Power Command Transmission

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 a warning symbol
appearing in the transmission display, Figure 2.
With cold transmission oil, avoid shuttle operations, as

far as practicable, until the oil has warmed up.
2
Warming the Auto Command Transmission
The transmission on your tractor relies on oil for
operation and lubrication. In extremely cold
conditions it is important the oil is warmed before
operating the tractor.
Depending on the temperature, there are two stages
to the warm up procedure, both being fully
automated. In the initial stage where the
transmission oil temperature is below --15C (5F)
drive will be disabled and the warm up symbol shown
in Figure 2, will appear in the transmission display.
This will be accompanied by an audible alarm.
Also, during the initial warm up period engine speed

will be restricted,. the minimum engine speed will be
set at 1100 r.p.m. Depending on transmission oil
temperature the maximum engine speed will also be
limited to the following.
With oil temperatures between --20C to --10C (4F

to 14F) maximum engine speed will be 1300 r.p.m.
For every degree above --10C (14F) engine r.p.m.
will increase by 100. When the oil has heated
sufficiently to allow drive engagement, the warm up
symbol will disappear from the screen and the full
range of engine speeds will become available.
If, for example, the oil temperature is --20C (--4F)

it will take approximately 5 minutes for the oil to be
warmed sufficiently before drive can be engaged.
During this period, any attempt to engage drive will
be ignored and the warm up procedure will continue.
3--5
In the second stage of the warm up procedure the

tractor becomes driveable and the full range of
engine speeds are available. However, the number
of transmission controlled speed ranges and
maximum travel speeds are electronically restricted.
The speeds shown in the following chart are based

on the largest tyre size and are at a rated engine
speed of 2200 r.p.m. Where smaller tyres are fitted
the speeds will be correspondingly slower.

COOLANT IMMERSION HEATER

(where fitted)
WARNING
To avoid shocks or other injuries, never use an
unearthed or inadequate extension lead with the
coolant or oil heater. Always use an earthed, three
core extension lead, which is rated for at least a 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 120 or 240
volts A.C only. This accessory provides easier
starting down to --29 C (--20 F).
3
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 outlet (using a voltage transformer, if
necessary) for up to four hours before carrying out
the cold weather starting procedure.
FUEL HEATER
(where fitted)
The fuel heater consists of a heating element

installed in the primary fuel filter. The heater operates
in conjunction with the grid heater in the engine inlet
manifold.
Operation of the grid heater/fuel heater is automatic

when the ambient temperature falls to --29 C (--20
F).
See Grid Heater Cold Start Aid on page 3--11.

TRANSMISSION OIL HEATER

(where fitted)
This accessory consists of a 120 volt or 240 volt A.C.

heating element installed in the transmission
housing.
This accessory provides for faster warm up of the

transmission/hydraulic oil when operating in low
ambient temperatures.
Connect the 120 volt heater extension cable to the

plug at (1), Figure 5.

Connect the 240 volt heater extension cable to the
plug at (1), Figure 6.
To operate the heater, connect the plug on the free

end of the heater cable to a suitable outlet (using a
voltage transformer, if necessary) for up to four hours
before starting the engine.
NOTE: Do not use the heater when the oil is very cold
as this may ’scorch’ the oil. Use the heater after the
tractor has been operated and the transmission oil is
still wram. This will maintain oil temperature for
easier starting in very cold weather.

BOOSTING THE TRACTOR BATTERY
Your tractor is equipped with remote jump terminals

installed on the right-hand side of the engine.
WARNING
Always sit in the driver’s seat to operate the starter
motor. If the key-start switch is by-passed and the
tractor has been left in gear, sudden and unexpected
movement of the tractor or a tractor runaway may
result which could cause serious injury. Wear eye
protection when starting the tractor with jump leads
or when charging the battery.
If it is necessary to use jump leads (booster cables)

to start the tractor, use only heavy duty leads.
Proceed as follows:
The positive terminal (1), mounts on the starter

solenoid, and is encased in an insulated housing.
The negative terminal (2) attaches to the upper

mounting bolt of the starter.
Connect one end of red jump lead, to the positive,

(+), remote jump terminal (1), and the other end to
the positive (+), terminal of the auxiliary battery.
7
Connect one end of black jump lead, to the negative,
(--), remote jump terminal (2), and the other end to
negative, (--), terminal of auxiliary battery. Follow the
starting procedure as described later in this Section.
When the engine starts allow it to run at idle speed,

turn on all electrical equipment (lights, etc.) then
disconnect the jump leads in the reverse order to the
connecting procedure. This will help protect the
alternator from possible damage due to extreme load
changes.
3--9
Turn off all electrical equipment and run the tractor

engine until the battery is fully charged.
IMPORTANT: When using an auxiliary battery to

start the engine, ensure that the polarity of the jump
leads is correct -- positive to positive, negative to
negative, otherwise the alternator may be damaged.
Only use an auxiliary battery if the tractor batteries
are discharged. Excessive amperage (above 1600
cca) may damage the starting motor. In the event of
the batteries being severely discharged, such that
terminal voltage is below 7 volts, recovery will require
a special charging procedure. See your authorised
dealer.
STARTING THE ENGINE
Before starting the engine, always carry out the

following procedure:
 Sit in the driver’s seat.
 Ensure the parking brake is firmly applied.
 Ensure the shuttle lever is in the neutral (3) or

park position (5).
 Ensure all P.T.O. controls are in the ‘off’ position.
 Place all remote control valve levers in neutral.
 Move the 3--point hitch Position Control lever
fully forward.
WARNING
Check the area beneath the equipment to ensure
that no injury or damage will be caused when
equipment is lowered.
8
 Depress and hold the clutch pedal.
IMPORTANT: The high operating speed of the

turbo-charger makes it essential that adequate
lubrication is assured when the engine is started.
Therefore, idle the engine at 1000 rev/min for
approximately one minute before driving the tractor.
3--10
GRID HEATER COLD START AID

(where fitted)
WARNING
Your tractor may be equipped with an electronic cold
weather starting aid. Do not use ether with the cold
start aid installed. It will explode in the intake
manifold. If any difficulty is experienced when trying
to start your tractor in cold temperatures, consult
The grid heater, which is effective in ambient

temperatures down to --18 C (0 F), consists of a
heating element installed in the intake manifold.
Operation of the grid heater is automatic when the
the engine coolant temperature falls to --3 C (26.6
F) or below.
A warning light on the instrument panel will illuminate
to confirm operation.
If temperatures below --18 C (0 F) are

encountered, a block coolant heater is available as
an accessory. The block coolant heater is effective
in ambient temperatures down to --29 C (--20 F)
when used in conjunction with the grid heater.
Key Start Switch
A five-position key-start switch is installed. The

key-start switch positions are as follows:
Position 1 Not used

Position 2 Off
Position 3 Accessories on
Position 4 Warning lights, instruments and
Grid Heater on
Position 5 Grid heater on, Starter motor
engaged
IMPORTANT: Never push or tow the tractor to start 9

the engine. Use an auxiliary battery and jump leads.
NOTE: Neutral start switches prevent operation of

the starting motor unless the shuttle lever is in the
neutral (N) position.
3--11
Starting in cold weather (with a cold engine)
 Open the hand throttle halfway and turn the

key-start switch clockwise to position (4). An
indicator light (1) Figure 11, on the instrument
panel will illuminate for 10 to 15 seconds to show
the grid heater has been activated.
 When the light extinguishes, turn the key fully

clockwise to position (5). Crank the engine until
it starts but do not operate the starting motor for
NOTE: If cranking is not carried out within 30 10

seconds of the light extinguishing, turn the key--start
to the ’off’ position, pause and re--start the sequence.
 If the engine fails to start, repeat the foregoing

procedure. If the engine still fails to start, allow
the battery to recover for 4 -- 5 minutes then
repeat the procedure.
 When the engine starts, return the throttle to the

idle position and check that all warning lights
extinguish and gauge readings are normal.
11
Starting in warm weather or when the engine is
hot
 Turn the key-start switch fully clockwise to

position (5) Figure 10, to operate the starting
motor. It is not necessary to open the throttle in
these conditions. Crank the engine until it starts
but do not operate the starting motor
continuously for more than 60 seconds.
NOTE: Once the starter motor has been operated,

it is necessary to return the key-start switch back to
the ‘off’ position before the starting motor can be
re-activated.
 Return the throttle to the idle position and check

that all warning lights extinguish and gauge
readings are normal.
3--12
STOPPING THE ENGINE
IMPORTANT: Before stopping, idle the engine at

1000 rev/min for approximately one minute. This will
allow the turbo--charger and manifold to cool and
prevent possible distortion of components.
To stop the engine, carry out the following procedure:
 Sit in the driver’s seat.

 Close the throttle.
 Ensure that the parking brake is firmly applied.
 Ensure the P.T.O. is disengaged.

 Place the remote control valve levers in the
neutral position.
 Lower 3--point hitch mounted equipment to the

ground.
 Turn the key--start switch off -- position (2).
AUTOMATIC ENGINE SHUTDOWN
IMPORTANT: Before attempting to start an engine

that has automatically shutdown, trace and rectify
the fault that caused the engine to be stopped.
Automatic engine shutdown is operated through the

Engine Control Unit (ECU). In the unlikely event that
one or more of the following conditions occurs then
the engine will be shut down after 30 seconds.
 A critical error is detected within the engine
control system.
 The generated engine horsepower attempts to
exceed the specified design limit.
Should either of the above occur and the engine
shuts down, consult your authorised dealer before
attempting further operations with the tractor.
NOTE: Automatic engine shutdown function is

permanantly activated and cannot be switched off.
3--13
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 and, in the unlikely
event that one or more of these reaches a critical
condition, the engine will be shut down.
 Engine oil pressure falls below safe limits.

 Engine coolant temperature exceeds safe limits.
 Driveline oil pressure falls below safe limits.

 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 operator has not stopped the
engine, the automatic shutdown feature will be
activated and the engine will be shut down.
12
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 three 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 Shudown linked to

the Keypad can be disabled, the system monitored
by the Engine Control Unit will continue to function in
the normal way.
3--14
ENGINE POWER MANAGEMENT
Engine Power Management (EPM) is an

electronically controlled engine power boost function
which increases power levels where high loads may
compromise tractor performance.
When the system is activated, the EPM light (1) in the

instrument cluster will illuminate. As the power
requirement reduces and EPM is de--activated, the
light will extinguish.
PM boost levels are variable depending on engine

load, driveline torque and tractor speed. Dependent
on tractor model, the available power increase is
between 1 and 26 kW (1.3 and 35 hp) and will vary
as the load on the engine changes.
EPM is a totally automated function requiring no

input from the operator. Engine power boost can be
activated during P.T.O. operations, road transport
applications and when operating with externally
powered hydraulic equipment.
IMPORTANT: Engine Power Management will be

disabled if the engine coolant temperature exceeds
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.
P.T.O. Operations
Engine Power Management will only function when

the following criteria are met:
Engine sped above 1300 e.r.p.m.

PTO fully engaged.
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.
Engine coolant temperature below 105 C
(221 F)
NOTE: Engine Power Management will operate at all

P.T.O. speeds. 13
With the tractor moving and the engine speed above

1300 r.p.m. engaging the rear P.T.O. will put EPM
into standby mode.
3--15
As the torque and load on the PTO reaches or

exceeds the above levels, the warning light (1) will
illuminate and Engine Power Management will be
activated.
As the load on the engine is reduced, boost levels will

gradually decrease until engine power levels are
within normal limits.
Road Transport Applications

With Power Command Transmission
Engine speed is above 1300 r.p.m.

16th gear or above is engaged.
(221 F)
EPM will be de--activated if the following occurs:

14
Engine speed falls below 1300 r.p.m.
Transmission downshifts below 16th gear
Engine coolant temperature exceeds 105 C
(221 F)
With Auto Command Transmission

Engine speed is above 1300 r.p.m.
Tractor speed above 18 Km/h (11.1 MPH)
(221 F)

Tractor speed falls below 18 Km/h (11.1 MPH)
(221 F)
3--16
External Hydraulic Operations

(Power Command only)
Engine Power Management monitors the load on the

main hydraulic pump and in situations where there is
significant increase in horsepower requirements to
operate external hydraulic services, EPM will
respond by boosting engine power.
To compensate for additional hydraulic loads, EPM

gradually increases engine power to maintain tractor
performance. As the load on the hydraulic system
decreases then the level of power boost will also be
reduced. 15

Engine speed above 1300 r.p.m.
Tractor forward speed above 0.5 Km/h (0.3 MPH).
(221 F)

Tractor forward speed falls below 0.5 Km/h (0.3
MPH).
(221 F)
3--17
ENGINE SPEED MANAGEMENT
With Engine Speed Management (CRPM), the

operator may pre--set one or two fixed engine speeds
appropriate to the work in hand. ESM will maintain a
fixed engine speed, it cannot be used to provide a
constant groundspeed (cruise control).
With ESM activated the indicator light on the

instrument panel (1), will illuminate when the system
is in operation.
When activated, ESM constantly monitors engine

load and speed for any change. If engine load 16
increases and the r.p.m. begins to fall, ESM will
electronically adjust the engine speed control unit to
compensate, thereby maintaining a constant engine
r.p.m.
Setting Engine Speed Management
ESM can be programmed in two ways, either by

using the four switches on the Integrated Control
Panel or through the colour display.
Setting with ICP Panel
Four switches control the ESM function.

1. Increase engind speed.
2. Store/activate programme 1.
3. Store/activate programme 2.
4. Decrease engine speed .
To create ESM programme 1, start the engine and

set the r.p.m. to the desired level using the hand
throttle or foot throttle. Depress/hold switch (2) for 2
seconds and the light in the switch will begin to flash. 17
This indicates the current engine speed is being
stored.
After 2 seconds the light will stop flashing and will

remain on. ESM is now active and operating at the
current engine speed.
3--18
NOTE: If the ESM programme key is released whilst

the light is flashing, Engine Speed Management will
reset to the default speed of 850 e.r.p.m., depress
the ESM programme switch again to re--start the
procedure.
To store a second ESM programme, repeat the

above process using switch (3) if required.
A programme can be de--activated at any time by

depressing the appropriate programme switch.

3--19
Recalling Stored Programmes
Once stored, ESM programmes can be recalled at

any time.
NOTE: If the hand throttle is used to set a new engine

speed then the lever should not be moved again until
ESM has been de--activated as this will terminate the
programme. With ESM switched off the lever can
moved without affecting the setting.
At key--off, the setting remains in the ESM memory

for future use or until a new programme is entered.
20
IMPORTANT: At key--off (engine stop), 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
before turning the key on again.
Operating with Engine Speed Management
A ESM programme can be re--called or engaged at

any time providing the engine is running.
Momentarily depress programme switch (2) or (3),
the ESM lights in the switch and lamp panel (1) will
illuminate. The engine speed will increase or
decrease to the pre--stored level.
When a ESM programme switch is depressed for the

first time after start--up, the rate at which the engine
speed changes will be slower than normal. In any
subsequent activation of ESM programmes the
speed will ramp up or down at the normal rate. 21
With a ESM programme activated it is possible to

change the speed setting for that programme.
Momentarily depressing speed adjustment switches
(1) and (4) will increase or decrease the speed in 10
r.p.m. increments.
Maintaining pressure on the switch will permit the

speed to ramp up or down at 100 r.p.m./second,
providing there is no load on the engine.
3--20
ESM speed settings may be temporarily over--ridden

using the foot throttle without affecting the
programme. This applies to Power Command
transmissions at any time or Auto Command
transmissions in neutral/park or when operating in
manual mode.
When operating in the field, shuttling between

programmes 1 and 2 may be achieved by depressing
the appropriate programme switch or, if more
convenient, the Headland Turn Sequence step
switch (1) Figure 22, providing HTS is not activated.
NOTE: Moving the hand throttle in ESM mode will

disable the speed settings and return engine speed
control to the hand or foot throttle.
To Exit Engine Speed Management:
Depress the ESM programme switch.

Move the hand throttle. 22
Turn the key--start to the off position.

heard, release the switch to begin play--back of the next
sequence.
5. To skip a play--back sequence it will be necessary to exit HTS

by depressing the appropriate play--back switch. To re--enter
HTS, start at paragraph 1 above.
See page 3--27 for an explanation of HTS symbols.
3--23
Headland Turn Sequence (HTS)
HTS is a system that is able to record a series of

actions or ’steps’ and play them back exactly as they
were recorded. Each ’step’ is created by operating a
control which is linked to the HTS system.
When in record mode, the movement of an HTS

linked control will be timed and by adding the
individual steps together an HTS sequence is
formed.
HTS Sequences may be re--played as a continuous

operation (AUTOMATIC) or as a series of individual
steps (MANUAL), each one initiated by depressing
the step switch.
Up to 32 individual steps may be recorded in each

sequence.
Four switches control the operation of HTS:

1. Record switch. This key is used to activate and
de--activate the recording mode.
2. Auto play--back switch. To activate the automatic
re--play function depress this key. Press again to
de--activate auto play--back.
3. Manual play--back switch. To engage manual
re--play of each HTS step, depress this key,
depress again to disengage manual re--play.
4. Step switch. The step switch is used to start, 23
pause or stop a sequence. The step switch can
also be used to insert pauses during a recording
or to pause a sequence during play--back.
NOTE: Each pause inserted during a recording will

be recognised as a sequence step by HTS.
3--24
Where HTS is used to create a recording, the

following actions or functions may, depending on
tractor specification, be included in the sequence.
 Regulate engine speed.

 Shift transmission gears up, and/or down
(Power Command).
 Raise and lower the rear three point hitch.
 Raise and lower the front three point hitch.*
 Operate electronic remote valves.
 Hydraulically adjust the top link and/or left--hand
lift rod.* 24
*Where fitted
NOTE: On tractors equipped with a factory fitted

front loader and mid--mount remote valves, the
operation of the mid--mount valves cannot be
included in a Headland Turn Sequence.
IMPORTANT: When operating with a Power

Command tractor in Field Auto Mode, activating HTS
will suspend the Auto Mode function. After
completing a headland manoeuvre sequence, HTS
will be suspended and the Field Auto Mode function
will be resumed.
In a similar way, ESM will also be disabled when HTS
is active and will be re--enabled when HTS is
suspended. However, the ESM light will still remain
illuminated while the programme is disabled.
When activated, a symbol will appear at the top of the

vertical HTS symbol bar (1).
The symbol will confirm whether HTS is in the record,

save or play--back mode.
When recording or re--playing a sequence, each

action or step will be represented by a new symbol
and description appearing in the HTS bar.
See page 3--27 for an explanation of HTS symbols

and their function. The list is comprehensive and
may include functions not available on your tractor.
25
3--25
As each step is recorded the accompanying symbol

will move down the display as the next step begins.
The symbol for the new step will appear immediately
below the record symbol. Active symbols will appear
with an orange background, recorded symbols will
have a red background.
During play--back, step symbols will scroll upwards

from the bottom of the display. When a symbol
reaches the top of the display (below the play--back
symbol) the corresponding function will begin to
operate.
A maximum of five step symbols may be displayed 26

in addition to the HTS mode symbol.
To view the full sequence select HTS Editor or

Manager screens and use the YB to scroll through
the symbols.
IMPORTANT: If a fault occurs and the error symbol

is displayed, exit and re--enter HTS to clear the fault.

Recording a Sequence
NOTE: For HTS to function, the engine speed must

be above 1000 e.r.p.m.
To start recording a Headland Turn Sequence,

depress and hold the record switch (1), for three
seconds, the light in the switch will start to flash. HTS
is now activated but remains in standby mode.
The HTS recording symbol will appear at the top of

the sequence bar and this will start to flash.
To start a recording, momentarily depress the step 27

switch (4). The recording symbol and switch light will
cease to flash indicating HTS is now recording.
NOTE: Only the controls linked to the HTS system

will be recorded. Controls not linked to HTS will be
ignored.
As each HTS linked function is activated, a new

symbol will appear in the orange section of the HTS
bar immediately below the recording symbol.
As each step is recorded the corresponding symbol

will move down the sequence bar into the red
section.
After the first HTS sequence has been completed, a

second (opposite headland) sequence may then be
recorded. It is possible to record 2 separate
sequences under one programme number providing
the total number of steps does not exceed 32.
Up to 30 sequences/programmes may be recorded

and stored in the database.
To record a second sequence within the current

programme i.e. for the opposite headland, depress
and hold the step switch (4) for three seconds. This
will suspend recording and put the system into
standby mode. 28
The recording symbol will start to flash and

’Recording Suspended’ will appear alongside the
symbol.
3--30
To begin a second sequence, momentarily depress

the step switch (4). The record symbol will cease to
flash as the second sequence commences.
NOTE: Power Command transmission shifts made

whilst the tractor is in reverse will not be recorded or
played back by HTS. A pause will be automatically
entered in the sequence at this point.
During a recording, pauses may be inserted into a

sequence by momentarily depressing the step
switch (4). Recording will be suspended and the
pause symbol will be inserted into the sequence,
depress the step switch again to resume recording.
To save a sequence, depress the record switch (1)

Figure 27. The save symbol will replace the record
symbol in the display and the sequence will be saved.
New HTS sequences are saved in the HTS controller

memory. If a new sequence with a different number
is saved, the first sequence will be moved from the
controller to the HTS database. Only the sequence
currently in play is held in the controller memory.
HTS will automatically generate a number for each

recorded sequence but this can be edited at any time
by the operator in the HTS Editor screen.
NOTE: If, during a recording sequence, the engine

is stopped (key--off) then all steps recorded up to that
point will be saved.
NOTE: Direction changes are not recorded but a

pause will be inserted into the sequence where this
occurs. A pause is counted as a sequence step.
IMPORTANT: At key--off (engine stop), any

adjustments to electronically stored settings made
during tractor operation are transferred from the
operating memory to the main memory. To allow
sufficient time for the data to transfer, pause for a
minimum of five seconds before turning the key on
again.
3--31
IMPORTANT: When including electronic remote

valve operation in a HTS sequence, it is important to
allow sufficient time for the movement of the control
lever to be recorded as it passes through R, N, L and
F positions (or vice versa). Pausing the lever in each
position for approximately 1/2 second will provide
sufficient time for the step to be recorded accurately.
Moving the lever too quickly may confuse data
transfer causing the implement to respond
incorrectly on play--back.
NOTE: The maximum time permitted for a single

step in an EHR valve sequence is 12 minutes.

HTS and Colour Display Screens
. HTS
The HTS system has three basic operating screens,
these are the main screen, the editor screen and the
manager screen. The editor and manager screens
have a number of sub screens and pop--ups which
can be used for editing, saving and downloading
sequences.
HTS main
NOTE: The function of this screen is to display a

sequence in the record and playback modes, they
cannot be edited or saved in the main screen.
. Main
The HTS main screen provides a visual reference of
each step in a sequence as it is recorded or played
back. The number and/or description of a sequence
appears at the top of the screen under the heading
’Current sequence’.
30
Where a new sequence is being recorded the
’Current sequence’ will be shown as ’Not available’.
When the sequence is saved, HTS will automatically
generate a reference number.
Each step is identified by a symbol and a short

description, a list of these can be found starting on
page 3--27.
Up to 32 steps may be recorded in one sequence.

Where a pause has been inserted during recording
it will be recognised as a step. If an operator attempts
to record more than 32 steps a pop--up screen will
appear informing them the current sequence is full
and no more steps are available.
Where it is necessary to record more than 32 steps

for one field operation, a second sequence with a
new number will have to be generated.
3--32
HTS Editor
The Editor screen allows the operator to review HTS

sequences, change the names, add pauses and
re--save the updated sequence. Pauses added by
the operator can be removed in Editor but steps and
pauses which were recorded by HTS cannot be
changed.
Editor can only access the sequence currently held

in the HTS controller memory, sequences in the
database will need to be recalled using the manager
screen.
31
. Editor
Each sequence number appears in the Editor screen

(2). This number is generated automatically when a
sequence is saved. However, the number may be
edited by the operator to create a new description
which relates to the work in hand or to a particular
field or area.

in the database.
Where an HTS sequence can be used for more than

one implement, such as a non reversible plough and
cultivator, then the same sequence can be saved
under different headings i.e. ’Plough’ and ’Cultivator’.
This can only be applied to implements working at
the same depth.

Playback a Sequence
CAUTION
Before commencing work, it is recommended that
HTS sequences are given a ’dry run’ to ensure all
sequence steps have been retained in the memory,
and any timed EHR sequences replay correctly.
To play--back a recorded sequence, press the switch

(1) for AUTO re--play, press the switch (2) for
MANUAL re--play. Play--back will be activated but will
remain in standby mode and the light in the switch will
flash.
If a second sequence was recorded within the same

programme, the operator may now cycle between
sequences 1 and 2 by pressing and holding the
AUTO or MANUAL play--back switch. The sequence
number will appear immeadiately below the
play--back symbol.
When the correct number appears, release the 34

switch.
Before reaching the point at which the sequence is

to start, depress and hold the step switch (4) until a
’beep’ is heard. When the start point is reached,
release the switch. Play--back will start as soon as
the switch is released and the first operating symbol
in the sequence will appear below the play--back
symbol.
NOTE: To initiate play--back, the engine speed must

be above 1000 e.r.p.m.
When play--back begins, the symbol will stop

flashing.
35
As each function comes into play, the corresponding
symbol will appear immediately below the play--back
symbol.
3--36
Subsequent symbols in the sequence will appear

below the one currently in play. As each step is
completed, the corresponding symbol will move
upwards and disappear from the display to be
replaced by the next one.
If play--back is activated in MANUAL mode,

depressing the step switch (4) will only play the first
step in the sequence. When the first step has been
completed the sequence will pause until the step
switch is pressed again to re--play the next step.
In play--back, each step is re--played exactly as it was

recorded.
NOTE: If necessary, the foot throttle may be used to

increase engine speed during HTS play--back.
If pauses were inserted into the sequence during

recording, play--back will automatically stop at each
pause point. To resume the sequence, depress and
hold the step 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 re--start a sequence in AUTO mode, adjustments
can be made to the time span of a sequence or to
extend the delay between individual steps.
In play--back mode, a sequence may be stopped at

any time by depressing the step switch (4). The
sequence will pause and play--back symbol will begin
to flash. 36
3--37
IMPORTANT: If the step switch is used to suspend

a function in play, all current HTS actions, including
timed electronic remote valve sequences, will be
aborted and it may be necessary to manually
complete the paused step before re--starting HTS
play--back.
To resume sequence play--back, depress and hold

the step switch until a ’beep’ is heard then release the
switch.
IMPORTANT: During play--back, one or more of the

following actions will cause HTS to be stopped and
all automated functions, including timed EHR
sequences, to be terminated:
 The operator leaves the seat for more than 2
seconds.
 Fender mounted 3--point hitch or P.T.O. controls
are operated.
 Hand throttle is set to idle.
 Operating one or more of the HTS linked tractor
controls to override the sequence.
NOTE: A control is not regarded as overridden by

HTS 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 HTS is halted

during play--back, electronic remote valves will not
return to float even if the relevant lever is in the float
position unless:
 The lever was in the float position when the HTS
system was activated.
 The last HTS step selected the valve float
function.
3--38
If an EHR function is in play and the step switch (4)

is used to cancel the action i.e. to stop a hydraulic
cylinder extending, then the cylinder will stop and
play--back will be suspended. The cancelled action
will be by--passed and the sequence will go to the
next step when play--back is re--started.
However, cancelled actions remain in the sequence
memory for subsequent re--plays.
To continue a sequence, depress and hold the step

switch until a ’beep’ is heard, then release the switch.
NOTE: Where an HTS sequence is suspended, the

play symbol will flash in the display until the step 37
switch is pressed to re--start the sequence.
IMPORTANT: If a sequence is halted by the operator

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

FAST STEER (where fitted)
The optional Fast Steer system is designed to

provide quick steering response when required i.e.
when operating with a front loader or carrying out a
headland manoeuvre.
From the straight ahead position, Fast Steer will

provide full right or left hand steering lock with less
than a 10 movement of the steering wheel.
The speed at which the front wheel angle changes is

dependent on how far the steering wheel is turned.
Turning the steering wheel 1 or 2 degrees will
produce a slow steering response although full lock
can still be achieved. Increasing the steering wheel
angle will produce a faster steering response.
Fast Steer Isolator Switch
IMPORTANT: Before travelling on the public

highway Fast Steer must be de--activated and
normal steering re--instated.
To check normal steering operation, turn the wheel
fully from lock to lock before starting your journey.
NOTE: Fast Steer will not operate if the tractor speed

is above 10 K/mh (6.2 MPH).
To activate the Fast Steer function, depress the top

of the isolator switch Figure 40.
40
A green warning light (3) Figure 41, in the instrument
panel will illuminate to confirm the system is in
standby mode.
NOTE: If Fast Steer is activated at engine key--off,

the system will not function at key--on. The green
warning light (3) will not illuminate and the yellow
indicator light (2) will flash when the centre ring is
depressed. To re--energise the system, depress the
Fast Steer button twice to de--activate and
re--activate the system.
41
3--41
Fast Steer Operation
To operate Fast Steer, depress and hold the centre

ring (4) on the steering wheel, to disengage, release
the ring. With the centre ring depressed, a yellow
indicator light (2) Figure 43 will illuminate on the
instrument panel. It will extinguish when the centre
ring is released.
Fast Steer can only be operated if the all the following

conditions are met. Attempting to use the Fast Steer
function without meeting these conditions, will cause
the yellow indicator light to flash.
1. The isolator switch is ON and the green warning 42
light is illuminated.
2. The speed of the tractor is below 10 K/mh
(6.2 MPH).
3. The transmission oil temperature is above 5 C
(41 F).
NOTE: Where the transmission oil temperature is

low and Fast Steer is to be used, it is recommended
to turn the steering wheel twice, from full lock to full
lock, before operating with Fast Steer.
NOTE: If tractor speed exceeds 10 K/mh (6.2 MPH)

with Fast Steer in operation, it will be disengage and
the green indicator light will flash.
Fast Steer will be disabled if a fault occurs. Should

the system become disabled, an audible warning will
sound and an error code will appear in the instrument
panel display. If the fault is of a critical nature, the
’STOP’ warning lamp will also flash on the instrument 43
panel, consult your authorised dealer.
To re--activate Fast Steer, depress the isolator switch

to turn the system ’OFF’, correct the fault, then
depress the switch again to re--energise the system.
IMPORTANT: To promote safe operation of Fast

Steer, it is advised that the operator become familiar
with the system before operating in the field.

REAR POWER TAKE--OFF
Description
The rear Power Take Off on your tractor is equipped

with a modulated clutch engagement system to
provide smooth transfer of power when operating
with heavy, high inertia, P.T.O. driven equipment.
Various combinations of rear P.T.O. speeds are

available, dependent upon tractor model and
country.
a) 540/1000 speeds with inter-changeable output

shafts and optional fender--mounted switches.
b) 540E/1000 speeds with inter-changeable output
shafts and optional fender--mounted switches.
c) 540E/1000 shiftable with inter--changeable
output shafts and optional fender--mounted
switches.
d) 1000E/1000 shiftable with inter-changeable
output shafts and optional fender-mounted
switches.
e) 540/540E/1000/1000E electronic shiftable with

inter--changeable output shafts and optional
fender--mounted switches.
3--43
P.T.O Switch Operation
The P.T.O. is engaged and disengaged by means of

a switch (1), on the right-hand console. The adjacent
warning light (2) will illuminate when the P.T.O. is
engaged.
To engage P.T.O. drive, depress the knob (1), lift the

collar (3), and then lift the switch upwards. P.T.O.
drive is disengaged by pushing the switch down. It is
not necessary to support the collar (3), when
disengaging P.T.O. drive.
If P.T.O. drive has been engaged using the fender 44

mounted switches, it can be stopped by either
operating the fender mounted switch again or by
depressing the top of the switch in the cab.
P.T.O. Switch Operation -- Anti--Stall Feature
If, when operating with high inertia equipment, the

P.T.O. is engaged at too low an engine speed, an
Auto Stall feature will automatically disable P.T.O.
start--up and a symbol will appear in the Dot Matrix
Display.
The system will be disabled until the P.T.O. control is

returned to the OFF position at which time the Auto
Stall symbol will be extinguished. Re--engage the
P.T.O. at a higher engine speed.
45
3--44
PTO Switch Operation -- Time--Out
To engage the PTO, depress the knob (1) then lift the
collar (3) 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:
 Depress and hold the knob (1) for more than 30
seconds.
 Depress and hold the knob and lift the collar (3)
for more than 10 seconds without engaging the 46
PTO.
 Operate the fender mounted and internal PTO
controls simultaneously or within 2 seconds of
each other.
Any or all of the above actions will cause the PTO to

become inoperable (Timed--Out) for 10 seconds and
a Time--Out symbol will appear in the Dot Matrix
Display.
Should this occur, the non--critical alarm will sound

for 4 seconds and the amber warning light on the
instrument panel will flash for 10 seconds.
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 Time--Out
period.
47
When the Time--Out period is complete and the
symbol disappears from the display, normal P.T.O.
operation is re--enabled.
3--45
P.T.O. Range Lever
With shiftable P.T.O., a range lever is provided to

select a suitable P.T.O. speed to match the
implement. The range lever is located at the rear of
the right-hand console. Ensure the selected speed
corresponds with the P.T.O. shaft currently installed.
With the tractor stationary and the P.T.O. switch in

the disengaged position, depress the button (1), lift
the spring loaded collar (2), and move the lever to
engage the desired P.T.O. speed.
IMPORTANT: The range lever cannot be moved until

the spring-loaded collar (2) is lifted.
48
Depressing button (1) automatically releases the
P.T.O. brake providing a smoother engagement of
P.T.O. ratio.
IMPORTANT: Although P.T.O. drive may be

engaged or disengaged with the tractor moving or
stationary, do not attempt to select a different range
unless the tractor is stationary and the P.T.O.
disengaged -- switch in the fully down position.
Electronic P.T.O. Range Shift (where fitted)
On tractors with electronic P.T.O. range shift, the

range lever is replaced by a rotary control (2) located
at the rear of the right--hand fender.
Depending on tractor specification, electronic range

shift will provide two or four P.T.O. speeds.
With the tractor stationary and the P.T.O. control

switch in the disengaged position, select the required
speed by means of the rotary control. When the
P.T.O. is subsequently engaged the shift will
automatically be made. The shift will be confirmed in 49
the P.T.O. display.
When selecting neutral from 540 or 1000 speeds, the

shift will be immediate as the control is rotated.
IMPORTANT: Attempting to shift between speeds,

or from neutral to a speed position while the P.T.O.
is engaged will disable the system. Disconnect
P.T.O. drive by moving the switch to the ’off’ position
and then re--select the required P.T.O. speed.
3--46
Electronic P.T.O. Displays
When operating the electronic P.T.O shift, a symbol

will appear in the display depending on the action
taken. The displays are as follows:
Shift to Neutral in Progress

Ratio Increase in Progress
Shift from Low to Neutral or High to
Shift from N to High or Low to High

*The P.T.O. error will appear inversed (grey on black)

in the upper display (Action Required).
P.T.O. Brake Operation
An automatic P.T.O. brake is installed to stop shaft

rotation quickly when the P.T.O. is disengaged. To
avoid overstressing the P.T.O. brake, slow down the
implement by reducing engine speed before
disengaging the P.T.O. This is particularly important
with implements having a high inertia.
Such implements should, ideally, be fitted with an

overrun clutch. To avoid damage to the brake when
operating high inertia implements, hold down the top
of the switch (2), to disengage the brake and allow
the implement to come to rest naturally. 50
DANGER
To avoid inadvertent movement of the implement,
disengage the P.T.O. after each use.

Setting the Auto P.T.O. Function
The Auto P.T.O. function provides automatic

engagement and disengagement of the rear P.T.O.
drive when using the EDC raise/lower switch (1).
Operating the switch to raise the implement will
automatically disengage P.T.O. drive. Lowering the
implement with the switch will re--engage P.T.O.
drive.
The height at which the P.T.O. is engaged or

disengaged can be set using the following method.
IMPORTANT: The tractor must be stationary and the 58

P.T.O. switched off before attempting this procedure.
Setting with the AUTO Switch
 With the engine running and the P.T.O. switched

off, operate the lift control to fully raise and lower
the hitch. This will ensure the hitch is
synchronised with the lift control.
 Depress and hold the AUTO P.T.O. switch (1) for

2 seconds. The central display will show ’u’
followed by two figures, for example, ’u38’. The
figure 38 representing the current height of the

FRONT P.T.O. AUTO OPERATION
The Auto P.T.O. function will automatically disen-

gage and re--engage front P.T.O. drive when raising
and lowering the front hitch.
Auto P.T.O. can be used in conjunction with the front

hitch height limiter. Raising the hitch will cause P.T.O.
drive to be dis--engaged at a predetermined point
and the hitch to continue lifting until it reaches the
maximum height set--ting.
The height at which the P.T.O. is engaged or

disengaged can be set using the following method.
76
NOTE: The tractor must be stationary and the P.T.O.
switched off before attempting this procedure.
 Depress and hold the front Auto P.T.O. switch for

with the 3 point hitch in the raised position for
more than 2 min.
 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 s with the front 3--
point hitch in the raised position.
 The P.T.O. is switched off.
 The operator leaves the seat for more than 2 s
with Auto P.T.O. activated and the 3 point hitch
in the raised position. 78
To reactivate Auto P.T.O., clear the error and re--
engage the function as previously described.
FRONT 3--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 retention of the 3--point hitch to the
implement.
79
The front hitch can be operated by a rear or

mid--mount remote valve (where fitted). The height
of the hitch (1) can be shown in the Central Display
as a percentage (%) ranging from 0 (fully lowered) to
100 (full raise).
A rotary control on the armrest console can be used

to set a limit on the operating height of the hitch
where necessary.
80
3--65
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 (2) with their additional

guides (3) should be installed on the implement lower
hitch pins.
81
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 adjustment is set by the rotary control (1)

on the EDC 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)

knob, 2, Figure 86. The maximum raising speed will
be fixed and NOT adjustable using EHR menus.
A front fast lower operation will bring the front linkage

to the position set by the lower limit control knob, 1,
Figure 86.
The maximum lowering speed will be defined by the

drop rate control knob setting.
The fast raise and fast lower operations can

enable/capture the front hitch. The initial movement
will be slow to allow the system to synchronize the
component settings.
IMPORTANT: Care should be taken when

attempting to activate a fast movement of the front
hitch, if the fast raise/lower switch is depressed prior
to operating the function switch, this will lead to
activating the rear hitch.
Height limit control
The height limit control knob, 2, Figure 86, limits the
height to which the hitch may be raised. Adjust this
knob to avoid the possibility of a large implement
damaging the tractor when fully raised.
NOTE: Front hitch management position control

only operates in reaction to deliberate adjustments of
the height limit potentiometer. The system will not
correct the position due to oil leakage.
86
3--68
Lower limit control

The lower limit control knob, 1, limits the minimum
working position in conjunction with the height limit
setting control.
NOTE: Ensure that the front hitch lower limit control,

1, is correctly set to avoid an implement dropping too
low and causing possible damage when the fast
lower switch is activated.
Drop rate setting

A drop rate control, 3, adjusts the speed at which the
front hitch drops during the lowering cycle. Position
87
1 selects the slowest drop and is denoted by the
tortoise symbol, position 9 provides the fastest rate
of drop.
Turning the knob fully counter clockwise, to the lock

symbol, turns off the front hitch management
system.

Color display (where fitted) will offer the possibility to
store optimum settings for a certain implement and
in certain working condition so that those settings
can be recalled any time and front hitch controls
adjusted so to match them. This capability is
provided through specific and dedicated screens.
94
3--71
Hitch Operation with Electronic Rear Remote

Valves:
Electronic rear remote valves may be used to

operate the front hitch using the control lever (1), or
the joystick, (where fitted).
As a factory fitted option, the default valve to operate

the hitch will always be valve number 1 whether rear
mount or mid mount valves are used.
With the front hitch connected to valve number 1,

move the lever rearwards (R) to raise the hitch. Move
the lever to (N) to stop hitch movement, the hitch will 95
remain at this height. Select (L) to lower the hitch.
Moving the lever to the float position (F), will permit
the hitch to ’float’ up and down allowing the
implement to follow the ground contours.
Valve number 1 is programmed to operate in

conjunction with the front hitch height limiter
previously described.
Hitch Operation With Joystick and Electronic

Rear or Mid Mount Remote Valves:
The joystick (1), 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,

the tractor will be fitted with a joystick and electronic
mid--mount remote valves. Valve number 1 will be
used to operate the hitch.
On tractors equipped with both mid and rear

mounted electronic valves, the joystick can be used 96
to control either valve assembly.
A selector switch on the console, Figure 97, allows

the operator to switch joystick control between the
rear and mid--mount remote valve assemblies.
Repeated pressing of the switch will cycle between

the mid--mount and rear mount valves. Lights in the
switch (1) and (2), will confirm which valves are
activated.
97

Joystick Functionality Screen
On tractors fitted with the colour display, the operator

can access the joystick screen which provides
details on joystick functionality.
. Remote Valves
Use YB to scroll the through the menu until

Joystick is displayed.
. Joystick
The joystick functionality screen identifies the

number of valves controlled by the joystick and the
corresponding movement required to operate each
valve. Valves marked with a black border can be
operated by simply moving the joystick, valves with
a red border require the button to be depressed
before moving the joystick, see page 3--75.
When the button is depressed a symbol will appear

in the screen on the lower right--hand side.
As a valve is operated the white background will 98

change to orange.
When joystick operation is transferred between rear

and mid--mount valves, the valve identification will
change from R1, R2 etc. to F1, F2.
If the tractor is fitted with a front hitch the joystick

functionality screen also identifies the valve used to
operate the front hitch.
Where tractors are equipped with a factory fitted

front loader, the functionality screen will show
joystick movement for loader arm raise/lower and
bucket roll out/roll back.
NOTE: Switching the joystick from mid--mount to

rear valve operation will automatically suspend lever
operation of the rear remote valves.
IMPORTANT: Before switching joystick operation

between mid and rear valve packs or vice versa,
ensure both remote valve levers and joystick are in
the neutral position.
99
3--73
At key--off, the joystick function is de--activated. The

joystick will be reactivated when the operator is in the
seat with the engine running for more than three
seconds.
When the joystick is de--activated, the warning lights

in the front/rear selector switch will flash.
NOTE: Operation of the joystick will be disabled if the

operator leaves the seat or the tractor engine is
stopped.
Where it is required to operate the front hitch using

the rear remote valves and joystick, depress the
switch and the rear remote valve indicator lamp(1),
will start to flash.
After five seconds the rear indicator lamp will stop

flashing and will remain on, confirming joystick 100
control of the rear remote valves has been activated.
Operation of the front hitch is now controlled by the

joystick through the rear remote valves.
Both mid--mount and rear mount electronic remote

valves offer the following functions when operated by
the joystick.
Remote valve 1: Move the joystick forwards or

backwards to select Raise, Neutral, Lower and Float
on the front hitch.
Remote Valve 2: Move the joystick left or right to
provide oil flow through the front couplers (where
fitted).
101
3--74
Where valves 3 and 4 are fitted, the joystick functions

as follows. This applies to both rear mount or
mid--mount valves.
Remote valve 3: Depress and hold the button (1)

and move the joystick forwards or backwards to
operate Raise, Neutral, Lower and Float.
Remote Valve 4: Depress and hold the button (1)
and move the joystick left or right to operate Raise,
Neutral and Lower.
NOTE: The two buttons at the side of the joystick

have no function when the joystick is used to operate
a front hitch. 102
NOTE: The joystick should not be used for hydraulic

motor operation.
Move the joystick rearwards (R) to raise the

implement. When the front hitch reaches the position
set by the height limit control the hitch will stop.
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 used to let the hitch lift cylinder extend
or retract freely allowing front mounted equipment to 103
follow ground contours.
NOTE: Always use the ’float’ position to lower a

single--acting cylinder. The ’lower’ position is for
double--acting cylinders only.
NOTE: With the joystick operating the rear electronic

remote valves, the float position for valves 2 and 4
(lateral movement of the joystick) is not available.
3--75
The joystick may also be moved laterally, (R) and (L),

to provide oil flow for equipment connected to the
optional front couplers.
By moving the joystick diagonally, two cylinders may

be operated simultaneously.
104
To reinstate lever control of the rear valves, depress

the selector switch to activate the mid--mount valves.
The rear indicator lamp will go out and the
mid--mount indicator lamp (1), will start to flash.
After two seconds the mid--mount lamp will stay on

confirming joystick operation has been switched
back to the mid--mount valves (where fitted).
The rear remote valves are now controlled by their

respective levers.
105
Mid Mount EHR Valve Adjustments
A number of settings and adjustments can be made

to the mid mount EHR valves. This can be done using
the rotary control or the colour display (where fitted).
Adjustments and settings will include:

1. Oil flow adjustment, retract and extend.
2. Timer period settings, retract and extend.

3. Timer on/off.
4. Valve lock or unlock. 106

5. EHR valve priority
Full details on mid mount EHR adjustments can be

found later in this section in the Electro--Hydraulic
Remote Valve section beginning on page 3--102.
3--76
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 joystick (left or right) will provide pressurised oil
at the couplings. See page 3--73 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 107
system.
Disconnecting Hydraulic Hoses from Front

Couplers
Before disconnecting hoses from the front couplers,

any residual pressure in the hydraulic lines must be
released. Depending on remote valve configuration,
pressure can be released by using one of the
following procedures.
NOTE: All procedures must commence with the

tractor engine running.
With Couplers Connected to Mechanical or

Electronic Rear Remote Valves:
Move the appropriate remote valve operating lever/s

to the float position and switch off the engine. Apply
the park brake and/or park lock before leaving the
tractor seat.
3--77
With Couplers Connected to Electronic Mid

Mount Remote Valves:
On tractors equipped with a joystick and 4 mid mount

remote valves, it is possible to release pressure at
the couplers in the following way. This procedure
places the valve in float so both raise and lower
couplers can be easily disconnected.
Valves 1 and 3 (where fitted):

With the engine running move the joystick forward
into the float position, then stop the engine (valve 1).
For valve 3, depress the button (2) Figure 109, and
move the joystick forward into float. Stop the engine.

With the engine running, depress and hold the button
(1), move the joystick fully to the raise position (R)
Figure 109, and then back to neutral (N). Switch off
the engine and disconnect the hydraulic hoses from
remote valve number 2.
To release the pressure in the hoses for valve

number 4 follow the same procedure but
depress/hold buttons (1) and (2) Figure 109, before
moving the joystick to the fully raise position (R).
NOTE: The above procedure can also be used to

select float on valves 2 and 4 during normal 108
operation.
WARNING
Make sure no one will be injured by moving
equipment when relieving pressure in the system.
Before disconnecting cylinders or equipment, make
sure the equipment or implement is supported
securely.
To disconnect a hose from the remote coupler, grip

the hose a short distance from the coupler and push
forward into the remote valve coupling, then quickly
pull on the hose to release from the coupler.
The above procedure can also be used to disconnect 109

hoses from rear electronic valves 2 and 4 when they
are being operated by the joystick.
To re--enable joystick operation, start the engine and

move the joystick to the raise position and back to
neutral. The joystick will now function normally.
3--78
Setting the Hitch Operating Mode
Located on the front of the hitch assembly, the two

selector levers permit the front hitch to be operated
in single--acting mode, double--acting mode, or to be
set at a fixed height.
110
Position P1:
Right--hand lever horizontal, left--hand lever vertical.
Front hitch operates in single--acting mode being

hydraulically raised but lowered using weight of
implement.
Position P2:
Both levers vertical.
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 111
using a front mounted scraper blade.
Lock Position:
Both levers horizontal.
With the levers in this position, both lift cylinders are

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--79
External Front 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. 112

controls:
 Move the shuttle lever to the neutral or park
brake position.

WARNING
Before using the external front 3--point hitch controls,
implement or 3-point hitch.
Never operate the external controls while standing:

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--80
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).
113
The lower links pivot 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.
114
To convert to the working position, remove the pin (3)

Figure 114 and manually lower the link down to the
operating position, as shown. Re--install the pin in
one of the holes (4) or (5), 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 (4), 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. 115
3--81
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.
IMPORTANT: When transporting heavy front

mounted implements at speed it is advisable to install
the pivot pin in the rear hole (5) (rigid position) to help
reduce implement bounce which may affect steering
control.
116
Coupling Implement to Tractor
Start the engine. Move the remote valve lever or

joystick (where fitted) from neutral (N) to lower (L)
until the link arms are just clear of the ground.
Position the tractor so that the open claw ends are
beneath the implement hitch pins.
117
Slowly move the remote valve lever or 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 (1) engage
the ball-bushings (2) 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.
118
3--82
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.
119
Uncoupling Implement from Tractor
Using the remote lever or 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.
Lift and rotate the release lever (1) fully rearwards on

both lower links. The lever will lock in position with the
latch retracted, as shown. This will allow the links to
clear the ball-bushings on the implement lower hitch 120
pins when the links are lowered fully.
Fully lower the lower links using the remote lever or

joystick and reverse the tractor clear of the
implement.
3--83
OPERATING WITH A FRONT LOADER AND

PROPORTIONAL JOYSTICK
Where a front loader is installed as a factory option,

an electronic joystick is provided to control the
electronic remote valves (EHR’s) used for operating
the loader and attachments. Up to three remote
valves may be operated simultaneously by the
joystick.
NOTE: Where a tractor is equipped with front loader

and rear EHR’s, the joystick is dedicated to operate
the loader mid--mount valves only, it is not possible
to control the rear EHR’s using the joystick. 121
Remote valve 1: Move the joystick forwards (L) or

backwards (R) to raise and lower the loader boom.
Pushing the joystick forward to the ‘lower’ position (L)

will allow the loader boom to lower to the ground at
a controlled rate of descent.
By moving the joystick fully forward into ‘float’ (F) the

loader boom will lower quickly under its own weight.
When float is engaged with the boom in the fully
lowered position, the bucket or attachment will follow
the ground contours.
IMPORTANT: When operating with a front loader

always lower the bucket to the ground before leaving
the tractor cab.
NOTE: The ’float’ position is not available on remote

valve numbes 2 and 3.
Remote Valve 2: Moving the joystick to (R) operates

bucket roll--back, moving the joystick to (L) to
operate bucket dump.
NOTE: By moving the joystick diagonally, both

loader boom and bucket actions can be operated
simultaneously.
3--84
Remote Valve 3 (where fitted): Where a third

hydraulic service is required to operate an
attachment such as a bale fork eject plate or 4 in 1
bucket jaw, switch (1) is used to control the third
valve.
The control for this valve is a progressive, self

centring rocker switch. This type of switch allows the
operator to control the speed at which a hydraulic
cylinder is extended or retracted.
By lightly depressing the switch, a minimal oil flow is

generated to provide a slow speed, depressing the
switch further will increase the flow and therefore the 122
speed.
NOTE: Switch (1) is only used in conjunction with the

advanced performance monitor (where fitted).
At key--off, the joystick function is de--activated. To

activate the joystick, the operator must be in the seat
with the engine running for more than five seconds.
When the joystick is de--activated, the warning light

(2) will flash.
NOTE: If the operator leaves the seat with the engine

running, joystick operation will be de--activated and
the warning light (1) Figure 123, will start to flash.
When the operator is re--seated, joystick operation
will be re--activated after two seconds. The warning
light will stop flashing and will remain illuminated.
IMPORTANT: Where a loader has been retro--fitted

to a tractor having the remote valves configured for
front hitch operation or front coupler operation, it is
most important the valves are re--configured by your 123
authorised dealer for loader operation.
This will provide the advanced features available
when the loader is used in conjunction with the colour
display, and will also disable the auto function so
joystick operation cannot be included in HTS
programmes.
The re--configuration procedure requires the use of
special tools and MUST be carried out by an
authorised dealer.
3--85
Hydraulic Master Switch
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

The switch on the cab ’C’ pillar has three positions
and provides the following functions.
Depress the top of the switch to energise electronic

rear and mid--mount* remote valves (3--point hitch
locked out).
Depress the bottom of the switch to energise

electronic rear and mid--mount* remote valves and
rear 3--point hitch.
Mid position. Electronic remote valves and 3--point 124

hitch locked out.
*(where fitted)
3--86
ELECTRONIC DRAFT CONTROL
Electronic Draft Control is an electronically controlled

hydraulic system that senses changes in the draft
loading via sensors in the lower link pins of the
3--point hitch. It also senses changes in the vertical
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 that operate above the ground. Once the
implement height has been set, the system will
maintain that height irrespective of any external
forces acting upon it.
Draft Control is designed for mounted or

semi-mounted implements operating in the ground.
Draft Control automatically compensates for
changes in soil resistance which cause the
implement draft loading to increase or decrease.
EDC Control Overview
1. The hitch position lever (1), is used to set

implement height, when operating in Position
Control and maximum implement depth when
operating in Draft Control.
2. The draft loading wheel (2), determines the draft

load and therefore implement working depth by
setting a force on the draft sensitivity pins. Rotate
fully forward (position 10) to provide maximum
load and therefore maximum implement depth.
125
3. Fast Raise and Lower switch. Once the 3--point

hitch has been set to the required working
position, this switch can be used to raise and
lower the hitch without affecting the draft or
position control settings. The switch also
provides for faster ground engagement, if
required. For detailed information, see text on
page 3--95.
126
3--87
4. The indicator lights (4), illuminate when the

Position Control lever is moved to raise or lower
the implement or when the incremental raise and
lower buttons are used. As draft corrections
occur during normal tractor operation, the lower
light will illuminate when the hitch lowers, the
upper light will illuminate when the hitch raises.
5. Incremental Raise and Lower buttons (5). Where

a small change in the height of the 3--point hitch
is required, depressing these button repeatedly
will alter the height of the hitch in small
increments.
6. The malfunction warning light (6), serves two 127

purposes:
 Flashing light indicates a malfunction in the

system circuits.
 Steady light, the light remains illuminated when
the hitch is not at the working height selected or
at the pre--set height set by the height limiter.
This may be caused by:
Operating the inching buttons (5), Figure 127.
3--point hitch is stopped during the raise cycle.
Operating the fender switches.
Moving the hitch controls after key--off.
The above lights will be accompanied by the hitch

error symbol appearing in the operational display. To
clear the error, cycle the hitch position lever slowly
through the full lift range.
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 appropriate keys on the
keypad.
128
3--88
EDC Panel
To gain access to the EDC controls, lift the pad on the

right--hand armrest.
The height limit control knob (1), limits the height to

which the hitch may be raised. Adjust this knob to
avoid the possibility of a large implement damaging
the tractor when fully raised.
A drop rate control (2), 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 129
rate of drop.
The draft sensitivity control (3), 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.
When equipped with the optional radar sensor unit,

the slip limit control (4), enables the operator to select
a wheel slip threshold, above which the implement
will raise until wheel slip returns to the set level.
Depress the slip control switch on the armrest to

activate. A slip limit ‘on’ indicator will illuminate when
the wheel slip limit control is activated.
130

Work Condition
Tractors with the colour display have the ability to

record operational settings made to the EDC system

1. Quadrant lever setting. The red line on the bar

graph identifies the position of the lower links as
set by the EDC Position Control lever (1)
Figure 133.
2. Draft loading wheel setting. The red line shows

the amount of draft load set by the draft loading
wheel (2) Figure 133. As the load increases or 132
decreases the black fill line will move to indicate
the change.
3. Drop rate setting. As set on the 3--point hitch drop

rate control (2) Figure 134. The red line indicates
the current setting on the drop rate control.
4. Draft sensitivity level. The red line identifies the

level of draft sensitivity set on the EDC sensitivity
control (3) Figure 134.
5. Height limit setting. Shown as a percentage of

total hitch travel, the red line indicates the height
at which the lower links will stop when the fast
raise button is used to lift the hitch. Rotate the
limit setting control (4) Figure 134, clockwise to
increase height.
133
6. Wheel slip limit. The red line shows the
percentage setting on the wheel slip control (1)
Figure 134. A low setting will provide a higher
correction rate to maintain traction. However,
this setting will result in more hitch corrections
and therefore a more uneven depth control.
A higher setting will result in less corrections and
therefore a more even depth of cultivation.

Malfunction Warning Light and Display
In the unlikely event that a fault occurs in the EDC,

the malfunction warning light (3) Figure 136, will start
to flash. The warning light will be accompanied by the
appearance of the rear hitch symbol (1) and error
code (2), in the dot matrix display.
The code indicates the tractor circuit or sensor in

which the fault lies and the type of fault, e.g. short
circuit, open circuit, sensor failure, etc. Should this
occur, your tractor will require the attention of your
authorised dealer.
135
A steady malfunction warning light (3) signifies that

the hitch has been disabled and the setting of the
Position Control lever does not correspond to the
height position of the lower links.
The ‘hitch disabled’ warning will display if:

 The Position Control lever has been moved with
the engine stopped.
 One of the external hitch controls has been

operated to raise or lower the three-point hitch.
See ’Malfunction Warning Light’ on page 3--88 or
‘External 3--Point Hitch Controls’ on page 3--99.
136
To re--phase the Position Control lever with the lower

links, start the engine and move the lever slowly in
either direction until the position of the lever matches
the height of the hitch. This will be confirmed by the
’hitch disabled’ warning light going out.
Alternatively, use the fast raise and lower switch (4),

to raise or lower the hitch until the hitch disabled light
goes out. During the re--phase sequence, the lower
links will raise slowly but once the Position Control
lever and hitch height are synchronised, the lower
links will operate normally.
137
3--92
PRE--OPERATION SETTINGS
Ensure the transport lock switch is in the off position

to allow the 3--point hitch to function, see page 3--101.
Attach the implement to the 3--point hitch.
Turn the draft loading wheel (2) fully forward (position

10), this is the Position Control setting.
Start the engine and, using the Position Control lever

(1), raise the implement in stages, ensuring there is
at least 100 mm (4 in.) clearance between the
implement and any part of the tractor. 138
Note the figure in the central display. If the reading is

less than ‘100’ it means that the implement is not fully
raised.
Adjust the height limit control knob (4) to prevent the

hitch being raised further and so avoid the possibility
of the implement damaging the tractor when fully
raised.
When the fast raise/lower switch or the Position

Control lever is used to raise the implement, it will
only raise to the height set by the 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 (2). Turn the knob clockwise to speed up
the drop rate or anti-clockwise to slow down the drop 139
rate.
IMPORTANT: When first setting the implement up

for work, keep the drop rate control knob in the slow
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--93
DRAFT CONTROL OPERATION
To ensure the best performance in the field it will be

necessary to adjust the Draft Control system to suit
the implement and ground conditions.
The position of the draft sensitivity knob (3),

determines the sensitivity of the system. Set the
knob to the mid-position before lowering the
implement into work.
The draft loading wheel (2) Figure 141, determines

implement depth by setting a required force on the
draft sensing pins. Set the wheel to the mid-position,
marked 5, prior to commencing work.
140
Drive the tractor into the field and lower the

implement into work by moving the Position Control
lever (1), forward.
Set the required implement working depth by

adjusting the setting on the draft loading wheel (2).
When the required depth has been achieved, move
the Position Control lever rearwards until the
implement starts to raise then move forward again in
small increments to set the maximum depth limit.
When adjusted correctly, the Position Control setting

will prevent the implement from ’diving’ or working
too deep if an area of soft or light soil is encountered. 141
Once the draft loading and maximum depth have

been set, raise and lower the implement using the
fast raise switch on the transmission lever or EDC
pod (3).
3--94
Observe the implement as it pulls through the soil

and adjust the draft sensitivity knob (3), until the
tendency for the hitch 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 (1) Figure 143. The
upper light will illuminate every time the system
raises the implement as normal draft corrections
occur. The lower light will illuminate as the implement
lowers.
142
Turn the draft sensitivity knob (3), Figure 142, 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 lever again until the work in hand is
completed.
143
Upon reaching the headland, momentarily depress

the top of the fast raise switch (1), to quickly lift the
implement to the position set by the height limit
control.
During the raise cycle, momentarily depressing the

fast raise switch will pause implement lift.
When re-entering the working area, momentarily

depress the bottom of the switch, the implement will
lower at the rate set by the drop rate control knob and
stop when it reaches the depth set by the draft
loading wheel.
144
NOTE: Depressing the fast raise switch during the lift
cycle will temporarily disable the hitch. Depressing
the switch again will re--enable hitch operation but
initial movement will be slow.
3--95
Where faster implement penetration is required, for

example, after turning at a narrow headland or where
the implement is reluctant to penetrate, press and
hold the bottom of the raise/lower switch (2). The
implement will lower at the rate set by the drop rate
control knob, until it contacts the ground.
Continue to depress the switch and the drop rate and

the Position Control settings will be overridden. The
implement will quickly penetrate the ground, rising to
the preset working depth when the switch is
released.
145
Rear Wheel Slip Limit Setting
Setting the Slip Limit with the Control Knob
The slip limit control knob (1), available only 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
preset level.
Slip limit temporarily overrides the normal Draft

Control sensing signals and reduces the working
depth of the implement. As soon as the wheel slip
falls below the operating limit the implement will 146
return to it’s original working depth.
Care must be taken not to select a wheel slip limit that

is either too high or too low.
Setting the slip limit to a very low level, unobtainable

in wet conditions, may have a detrimental effect on
the work rate and depth.
NOTE: The wheel slip function does not work in

Position Control.
3--96
The slip limit ‘on’ indicator (1) will illuminate when the
slip function is activated by depressing the switch on
the armrest unit. When the slip control is in operation,
the warning light (2) will also illuminate and the
implement will raise to reduce the slip rate.
Where the amount of wheel slip approaches the

pre--set limit, a warning will also appear in the display.
To disengage the slip function depress the switch on

the arm rest unit.

Use the Position Control lever (1) to raise and lower

the 3--point hitch. The implement will raise and stop
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 lever is
made then the lower links will respond by moving
rapidly. As the links approach the position set by the 149
Position Control lever, implement movement will be
slower.
If it is required to raise the implement at the headland,

momentarily depress the top of the raise switch on
the EDC pod or transmission lever (3), to lift the
implement to the position set by the height limit
control knob. When re-entering the work area,
momentarily depress the bottom of the switch and
the implement will return to the height originally set
by the Position Control lever (1).

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 1 1
object into the area near the 3-point hitch or
Never have an assistant working the opposite set of

controls. When moving to the opposite set of 152
controls, move around the tractor or implement. Do
not cross between the implement and tractor.
3--99
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 switch will cause the
hitch 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.
NOTE: Using the external lift control will cause the

hitch to become out of phase with the Position
Control lever in the cab.
153
To re--phase the Position Control lever with the lower
links, start the engine and move the lever (1) slowly
forward or rearward, as required, until the position of
the lever matches the height of the hitch. This will be
confirmed by the ’hitch disabled’ warning light going
out.
Alternatively, use the fast raise switch (3)

Figures 154 and 155, to raise or lower the hitch until
the hitch disabled light goes out. During the re--phase
sequence, the lower links will raise slowly but once
the lever and hitch are in phase, the lower links will
operate normally.
154
IMPORTANT: When control of the 3-point hitch is
transferred back to the lift control lever, an attached
implement may raise fully and damage the rear of the
cab. Operator’s should be aware of this and take
appropriate action to stop raising before full lift height
is reached. Adjust the height limit control knob as
described under Position Control Operation.
155
3--100
HYDRAULIC MASTER SWITCH
The 3--point hitch cannot be operated unless the

system is energised using the Master switch on the
cab ’C’ pillar. From the central position, depress the
top of the switch to energise the remote valve
electrical circuit, depress the bottom of the switch to
energise both remote valve and 3--point hitch
electrical circuits. Lights in the switch will confirm the
systems that are energised.
When transporting equipment on the 3-point hitch,
select the mid position on the switch. This will lock both
3--point hitch and remote valves preventing the
implement from accidentally lowering and damaging 156
the road surface. The lock symbol for the remote
valves will appear in the EHR screens.
DYNAMIC RIDE CONTROL
When transporting equipment on the 3-point hitch,

implement bounce can lead to lack of steering control
at transport speeds. With Dynamic 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 (3), fully anti-clockwise. Depress the top of the
raise/lower switch (4) Figure 158, to raise the 157
implement to the height set by the height limit control
(1).
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 kph

(5 MPH). When tractor speed exceeds 8 K/mh (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 K/mh (5
MPH) the implement will raise again to the height set
by the height limit control and ride control will become
inoperative.

3--101
ELECTRO--HYDRAULIC REMOTE VALVES

(where fitted)
NOTE: See page 3--133 for available oil quantities

when powering external hydraulic equipment.
When operating in manual mode, Electro--Hydraulic

Remote valves (EHR’s) perform in a similar manner
to mechanical valves providing Raise, Neutral,
Lower and Float functions selected by the operator.
However, where an implement requires repeated

hydraulic movements, such as extending and
retracting hydraulic cylinders, EHR’s allow the
operator to create an automated programme of
these movements.
Each programme is supported by visual displays in

the colour display screen.
159
Hydraulic Master Switch
EHR’s cannot be operated unless the electrical
circuit for the system is energised using the hydraulic
master switch.
The master switch has three positions and operates
in the following way.
Top depressed: EHR operation only, 3--point hitch
isolated.
Central Position: EHR’s and 3--point hitch isolated
(transport mode).
Bottom depressed: EHR’s and 3--point hitch
activated.
160
NOTE: Where a hydraulic service is locked out by
the master switch, a symbol will appear in the status
display on the top left side of the colour display. See
item (1) page 3--112.
NOTE: Where mid--mount EHR’s are installed, these

will also be locked out when the switch is in the
central position.
To prevent inadvertent movement of the implement

when travelling between fields or on the highway, it
is recommended that EHR and 3--point hitch
functions are disabled.
IMPORTANT:The hydraulic master switch may also

be used to quickly stop operation of the rear remote
valves. Place the switch in the central position to stop
and isolate remote valve and 3--point hitch operation.
3--102
When starting the tractor engine, all remote valve

levers and the joystick (where fitted) must be placed
in the neutral position. Any control not in neutral will
cause the corresponding valve to be disabled.
To reactivate a disabled valve, first ensure the

hydraulic master switch is in the ’ON’ position and
then manually shift the remote valve control to
neutral.
NOTE: Where a valve is not in neutral at start up, a

symbol and the corresponding valve number will
appear in the dot matrix display. Where more than
one valve is not in neutral, the display will scroll
sequentially through each valve number.
NOTE: At start up, EHR operation is disabled until

the engine speed has been detected to be over 500
rpm for approximately 3 seconds.
Should a remote valve become inoperable or stuck

in one position then that valve will be disabled until
the fault is rectified or the valve electronically
disconnected from the system. Should this occur,
consult your authorised dealer.
CAUTION
As Electro--Hydraulic Remote Control Valves have
detented lever positions, it is not recommended they
are used for front loader operation. Consult your
authorised dealer.
IMPORTANT: In the unlikely event that a remote

valve ceases to operate or respond correctly to lever
movements, the system will require the attention of
3--103
Control Lever Operation
Each remote valve lever has four positions, Raise,

Neutral, Lower and Float. In Raise and Lower
modes, the detented positions can be used for timed
remote valve functions.
In the following text lever positions may be described

as Raise, Neutral, Lower and Float or Extend,
Neutral, Retract and Float. The functionality
however, remains the same.
The ’float’ position is also used for retracting a
single-acting cylinder and is the OFF position for
operating hydraulic motors.
Pull the lever (1) back from the neutral position, (N),
to the raise position, (R). From neutral, push forward
to the lower position, (L). Push the lever fully forward
to the float position, (F). Float will permit a hydraulic
cylinder to extend or retract freely, allowing
equipment such as scraper blades to ’float’ or follow
the ground contour.
IMPORTANT: In the unlikely event that a remote

valve ceases to operate or respond correctly to lever
movements, the system will require the attention of
IMPORTANT:Care must be taken when operating in 161

the manual mode that the remote valve lever is not
left in the detented extend or retract positions when
using remote cylinders.
When the cylinder has reached the end of its stroke
the control lever must be returned to the neutral
position manually.
Failure to observe this procedure may cause
overheating of the hydraulic oil and may lead to
failure of hydraulic or driveline components.
IMPORTANT:Never use the neutral position from

the extend or retract position to stop a hydraulic
motor. Sudden hydraulic lock up of the system may
cause extensive damage to the motor. To operate
hydraulic motors ALWAYS use motor mode, see
page 3--123.
In manual mode, the oil flow through each valve can

be adjusted as described in Setting the Maximum
Flow Rate on page 3--112.
3--104
EHR Quad Switch
The Multi--Function lever incorporates a spring

centred toggle switch which can be used to operate
two Electro--Hydraulic Remote valves.
A number of hydraulic functions can be operated

using the Quad switch:
NOTE: The Quad switch operates only in the Raise,
Neutral and Lower modes. To select Float depress
the float button on the Multi--Function lever.
Option A 162
(with 3 or 4 rear valves only)
Vertical axis (1), Rear valve 1
Horizontal axis (2), Rear valve 2
Option B
(with 5th rear valve)
Option C
(with mid--mount and 3 or 4 rear mounted valves)
Horizontal axis (2), Mid valve 1
Option D
(with mid--mount and 5th rear valve)
Vertical axis (1), Mid valve 1
Option E
(with loader, mid--mount and 5 rear valves)
EHR Float Button
The float button operates in conjunction with the

Quad switch and provides a float facility for the
number 5 valve.
To engage the float facility, depress/hold the button

(1) and then depress/hold the lower (retract) side of
the Quad switch for the number 5 valve. Release the
float button.
If the float function has been activated on rear valve

number 5 (where fitted), it can be cancelled by
depressing the Quad switch twice. 163
3--105
Electronic Joystick Operation (where fitted)

IMPORTANT: The following descriptions of joystick
operating procedures refer to tractors not equipped
with a factory installed loader kit. For information on
loader functions consult the loader Operator’s
Manual.
NOTE: Where the mid--mount valves are used to

operate a factory fit front loader, it is not possible to
switch joystick operation between mid and rear
mounted valves.
The optional electronic joystick (1) can be used to

operate either mid--mounted or rear mounted EHR’s.
Where the joystick is being used to control the rear
mounted valves, the operation of the mid--mount
valves will be transferred to lever control.
With mid and rear mounted EHR’s, the switch on the

integrated control panel Figure 165, allows joystick
control of either mid--mounted or rear mounted 164
valves.
Indicator lights (1) and (2) confirm which valves are

controlled by the joystick.
NOTE: Where tractors are fitted with mid--mount

EHR’s and mechanical rear remote vales,
depressing the switch (1) will have no effect and the
light (2) will remain illuminated.
At key--on, assuming the joystick set to operate the

mid--mount valves, the indicator light (1) will be on.
To switch joystick control from mid--mount to rear
mount valves, depress and hold the switch for 2
seconds until light (1) is extinguished and light (2)
starts to flash. 165
Release the switch and light (2) will stop flashing and
will remain illuminated. Control is now transferred to
the rear mounted valves.
3--106
Before transferring joystick control between EHR’s,

it is important that all remote valves are in neutral.
Any valves not in neutral will be disabled and the dot
matrix display will identify the number and ’R’ (rear)
or ’FR’ (front). The indicator light for the new joystick
setting will continue flashing until the disabled EHR
has been reactivated.
To reactivate a valve, use the newly assigned EHR

control (lever or joystick) and cycle it through neutral
into raise or lower and back to neutral.
At key--off, the current joystick setting (mid or rear

mount control) will be retained in the EHR memory
for re--activation at key--on.
Where mid--mount valves are not fitted to the tractor,

the switch is used to select lever or joystick control
of the rear EHR’s only. Where no lights appear in the
switch, operation of the valves is by lever, when light
(2) is illuminated, operation is by joystick.
The joystick operates in two axis, forward/rearward

and side/side. Forward/rearward movement
provides Raise, Neutral, Lower and Float on valve 1,
moving the joystick sideways gives Raise, Neutral
and Lower on valve 2.
Two services can be operated simultaneously by

moving the joystick diagonally.
166
3--107
Where additional hydraulic services are required, the

joystick can offer optional functions activated by
depressing and holding the switches on the side of
the joystick.

Joystick Float Switch
Where it is necessary to exhaust hydraulic pressure

from valves 2 and 4, i.e. before disconnecting a
hydraulic hose from the tractor, a float switch is
provided on the armrest. The following procedure
must be carried out with the engine running.

With the engine running move the joystick forward
into the float position, then stop the engine (valve 1).
For valve 3, depress the button (2) Figure 170, and
move the joystick forward into float. Stop the engine.

With the engine running, depress and hold the button
(1), move the joystick fully to the raise position (R)
Figure 170, and then back to neutral (N). Switch off
the engine and disconnect the hydraulic hoses from
remote valve number 2.
To release the pressure in the hoses for valve

number 4 follow the same procedure but
depress/hold buttons (1) and (2) Figure 170, before
moving the joystick to the fully raise position (R).
NOTE: The above procedure can also be used to

select float on valves 2 and 4 during normal 169
operation.
To cancel float mode, move the joystick in any

direction to the Raise or Lower position and then
back to Neutral.
WARNING
Make sure no one will be injured by moving
equipment when relieving pressure in the system.
Before disconnecting cylinders or equipment, make
sure the equipment or implement is supported
securely.

External EHR Control
The rear fender switches (1), control valve number

3 and can be used to operate double or single acting
services. In double acting mode, depress/hold the
lower switch to extend the cylinder, depress/hold the
upper switch to retract the cylinder.
NOTE: External EHR switches are linked to remote

valve 3 only and cannot be reconfigured to operate
through a different valve.
When operating a single acting service, the lower

switch can be used to extend the cylinder but the 171
remote valve lever in the cab must be used to retract
the cylinder (float position).
The fender switches will only operate when the

tractor speed is below 0.5 km/h (0.3 MPH) and will
provide a maximum flow rate of 20 litres/min. (5.2 US
gal.min.) through the valve.
WARNING
The operator must only activate the external EHR
switches (1) while standing to the side of the tractor
(outboard of the rear tyres). Ensure there are no
other personnel in the proximity of the implement
before operating the external switches.

NOTE: Where a tractor is equipped with both
mid--mount and rear mounted EHR;s, only one valve
can be proritised.
Where the total flow demanded by the implement

exceeds the output of the hydraulic pump at the
current engine speed, then the system will balance
the available flow between all valves currently in
operation.
However, where a valve has oil flow priority, this

valve will continue to receive maximum flow.
Should a situation arise where the demand for oil flow

through the priority valve exceeds system capacity,
then non prioritised valve/s will be electronically shut
down by placing them in neutral.
Should this occur, N will appear against the relevant

valve/s in EHR display indicating they have been
shut down. When flow demand reduces, the valve/s
which have been placed into neutral by the system
will resume their function.

3--119
CREATING TIMER PROGRAMMES
Timer operation is primarily designed for use with

hydraulic cylinders although it can be used for any
timed hydraulic operation.
NOTE: Timer operation can be disabled at any time

by moving the appropriate lever or by accessing the
performance screen and de--actvating the timer.
Timed programmes using Electro--Hydraulic

Remote valves can be created automatically or
manually.
Where a hydraulic cylinder is repeatedly used to

operate an implement function i.e., ejecting a bale
from a round baler, the timer feature allows the
operator to create a timed sequence for this action.
Once created, the sequence (or programme) can be
repeated by simply moving the EHR lever or joystick
into the appropriate extend or retract position.
Using the EHR Levers
To operate the electronic remote valves in

programmed mode, depress/hold the timer button
(2), for one second. When the the timer light (1) starts
to flash, release the button. The system is now in
standby mode ready to accept a programme
sequence.
The light will flash for ten seconds allowing the

operator sufficient time to begin the programme
sequence. If a timed programme is not started within
this period, the system will automatically
de--activate. Depress/hold the timer button again to
re--start the sequence. 188
3--120
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/or
retract. Any change in engine speed may have an
effect on hydraulic flow and therefore the time taken
for the cylinder to extend and/or retract.
The timed period for control lever operation remains

the same regardless of oil flow, therefore consistent
operation in respect to engine speed and travel
speed is required for the system to function correctly.
Depress the timer button (2), and the corresponding

timer light will begin to flash. While the light is flashing
move control lever (1) to extend the cylinder (R). As
the lever is operated, the light will stop flashing and
will remain illuminated.
Hold the lever until the cylinder is extended to the

desired position and then return the lever to the
neutral position. When the lever is returned to the
neutral position the timer light will start to flash again
indicating the retract phase of the timed cycle can be
programmed.
Operate the control lever (1) to retract the cylinder

(L), the timer light (2), will cease to flash and remain 189
on. Hold the lever until the cylinder has completed
the retract cycle and then return it to the neutral
position. After the second phase of the programme
has been completed the light will remain on and the
programme will be saved.
3--121
Repeat the above sequence to programme the

remaining control levers if required.
The timer programme can be made to provide varied

sequences of operation i.e. extend/retract,
retract/extend or for one movement only, extend or
retract. The maximum allowable time span for any
timed operation is 60 seconds.
At key--off, the last timed sequence is retained in the

memory and can be recalled by momentarily
depressing the appropriate timer button at key--on.
190
Programming a Single Acting Service
To programme a single acting service carry out the

same set--up procedure as previously described for
a double acting service.
With the timer light flashing (2), move the remote

valve lever (1) from neutral to the extend position (R).
When the cylinder has extended to the desired
position, manually return the lever to the neutral
position.
The timer light will flash for 10 seconds and providing

the lever is not moved from neutral within this time, 191
the timer for the second phase of the programme will
default to ’0’ seconds.
When the timer light stops flashing and remains on,

the programme has been 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 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.

Programming Motor Mode
Motor mode is available on valves one to four

inclusive and can be operated using the remote valve
lever or joystick (where fitted).
NOTE: With motor mode selected, it is not possible

to change between lever and joystick operation of the
valve. To switch control from lever to joystick (or vice
versa), cancel motor mode, change control method
and re--select motor mode.
To select motor mode, move the appropriate lever to

the float position and depress/hold the
corresponding timer button (1) for one second. The
light (2) and display will confirm motor mode is active
on the selected valve.
With motor mode selected, lever functions are as

follows.
Lower Position. Motor is powered up.
Float Position. Motor slows and stops.
NOTE: If the control lever is inadvertantly moved to

the neutral or raise positions, the EHR control
system will treat these positions as float and the 192
motor will slow and stop.
If an error occurs in the EHR operating system with

motor mode engaged, the valve will automatically
default to float and the motor will slow and stop.
NOTE: Motor speed can be controlled by adjusting

the EHR flow setting.
IMPORTANT: Do not use the joystick to operate

hydraulic motors as damage may occur to the motor
or hydraulic system if the joystick is inadvertently
moved to the neutral position.
To exit motor mode, depress the timer button (1) with

the remote valve lever in the retract or float position.
3--123
Replaying a Timed Programme
NOTE: Timed programmes can only be applied to

remote valves R1 to R4 or F1 to F4. Remote valve
R5 (where fitted) does not have a timer facility.
With Levers
Depress the timer switch for the appropriate valve

and with the timer light illuminated move the lever to
the extend or retract detent position. The timer
sequence begins as soon as the lever is moved.
On reaching the end of a timed sequence, oil flowing

through the remote valve will be halted, the remote
valve lever should now be returned to the neutral
position ready for the next operation. Throughout the
replay sequence, the timer light will remain
illuminated.
With Colour Display
A timer sequence can also be activated through the

colour display. Select the front or rear timer screen
and touch the timer symbol (3).
This will arm the timer function and the timer light will
start to flash, move the appropriate lever, joystick or
quad switch to initiate oil flow.
To disable the timer function touch the screen again.

A cross on the timer symbol will indicate the timer has
been disarmed.
193
With Joystick
Depress the timer switch on the EHR lever panel to

activate the system and, with the timer light
illuminated, move the joystick in the direction
required.
The joystick must be moved at least 90% of travel to

initiate flow, release the joystick and allow to return
to neutral. When the timed period ends, the oil flow
will stop. Move the joystick in the opposite direction
to initiate a second timed period if one has been
programmed.
The timer sequence can be cancelled at any time by

moving the joystick approximately 30% of travel in
the currently selected direction.

Connecting Single-Acting Cylinders
Connect the hose (2) from a single-acting cylinder to

the lower coupler (1) Figure 195, on the remote
control valve.
To extend a single-acting cylinder, pull the control

lever (1) back to the extend position (R).
Manually return the lever to the neutral (N) position

to stop the cylinder when it has reached the desired
position.
To retract a single-acting cylinder, move the lever

fully forward to the float (F) position. 194
NOTE: In single acting timer mode the remote lever

will lock in the extend position and will not
automatically return to the neutral position.
IMPORTANT: Always use the “float” position to

retract a single-acting cylinder. The lower or “retract”
position is for double-acting cylinders only.
195
3--126
Connecting Double-Acting Cylinders
To extend a double-acting cylinder, pull the control

lever rearwards, to the raise (R) position.
To retract a double-acting cylinder, push the control

lever forward, past neutral (N) to the lower (L)
position.
Place the lever in the neutral (N) position to stop all

cylinder movement.
Further forward movement of the lever will select

float (F) which will allow the cylinder to extend or 196

3--127
Operating Continuous Flow Hydraulic

Equipment
IMPORTANT: When operating continuous flow

equipment, the remote control valve lever must not
be moved rearward to the neutral (N) or raise (R)
positions as damage to the equipment may result.
Always select the motor mode function when
operating with hydraulic motors.
Continuous flow hydraulic equipment (e.g. hydraulic

motors) should be connected to the valve couplers
with the pressure hose (1) connected to the upper
coupler (3) and the return hose (2) connected to the 198
lower coupler (4) of the same valve. Alternatively, the
return hose may connected to the low pressure
return circuit (see page 3--130, ’Return Oil Line’).
The oil flow should be adjusted to regulate the motor

speed. If the flow is too high, the 3-point hitch and
other remote valves may slow down or stop.
Controlling the flow in this way will ensure that the
hydraulic system will only supply the oil required by
the motor.
With the remote control valve lever (1) fully forward

in the float (F) position, the motor will be stationary.
The hydraulic motor will operate if the lever is pulled
back to the retract position (L). To stop the motor,
move the lever from the retract position to the float
(F) position. In the float position the motor will come
to a stop slowly, which will prevent possible damage
the motor.
To further protect the tractor and equipment observe

the following:
 Do not open any bypass valve in the equipment
or motor. Adjust the oil flow through the valve to
regulate the rate of flow or speed of the motor. 199
 To ensure optimum hydraulic oil cooling, operate
continuous flow equipment at the highest flow
setting and lowest engine speed that will give the
required machine performance and speed.
3--128
 It is recommended that a temperature gauge, Bleeding Remote Cylinders

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--116.
3--129
HYDRAULIC POWER BEYOND PORT for

EXTERNAL SERVICES
NOTE: See page 3--133 for available oil quantities

when powering external hydraulic equipment.
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: 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.
Power Beyond Ports
Return Oil Line (1)

The return oil line from the implement control valves
should be connected to the M27 x 2/19 (ISO 6149)
port (1) using a ’T’ connector available from your
authorised dealer. This will permit the oil to return
directly back into the tractor hydraulic system.
200
Alternative Return Oil Line (4)

Where access is difficult to port (1) and it is not
possible to utilise a ’T’ connector, the return oil line
from the implement control valves should be
connected to port (4) using a straight connector with
a 3/4 x 14 (B) thread and O--ring seal available from
Where the return line has been disconnected, the

port should be sealed using a cap nut and O--ring
available from your authorised dealer.
IMPORTANT: When returning oil into the

transmission it is important the correct ports are 201
used. This will avoid the possibility of oil being blown
out of the transmission breather.
3--130
Pressure Line (2)

To connect the implement pressure line, remove the
plug (2) 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.
NOTE: Ensure the hoses have a suitable capacity to

accommodate the required oil flow, and that both the
sensing line and hoses are sufficiently long enough 202
to allow for implement movement or articulation
when in work.
Load Sensing Line (3)

Connect the sensing line from the M12 x 1.5/11.5
(ISO 6149) port (3), 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 (3), 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.
IMPORTANT: To ensure correct operation of the

system, the implement control valve, when in
neutral, must be capable of directing the pressure
from the load sensing line back to sump through the
return oil line.
3--131
ISO Power Beyond Couplings
Where an oil supply from the Power Beyond ports is

required on a frequent basis, it is recommended that
dedicated ISO Power Beyond couplings are fitted to
your tractor. These are available from your
authorised dealer as an accessory.
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
203
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
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 disconnecting
hydraulic hoses.
3--132
REAR AXLE and HYDRAULIC OIL LEVELS

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 in
the sight glass with the tractor parked on level ground
and the three--point hitch in the fully raised position.
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.
NOTE: Before connecting remote cylinders, stop the
engine and thoroughly clean the connections to
prevent oil contamination.
With the rear axle oil level at the Normal,
Intermediate or Extra marks in the sight glass, 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 Parameters
a) Operating while driving in normal conditions,

including long periods of use.
b) Operating while driving in normal conditions

(flat fields) for short periods only.
c) Operating stationary equipment on level ground.
Maximum Oil Volumes, All Transmissions

b) 12 litres (12.6 U.S. qts.)
3--133
Addititional Oil Reserves

Conversely, the maximum amount of oil that may be
added to the rear axle above the level indicators is 7
litres (7.3 U.S. qts.). With this quantity added to the
rear axle, the quantities stated may be increased by
the same amount, 7 litres (7.3 U.S. qts.), but no
more.
WARNING
Hydraulic fluid or diesel oil escaping under pressure
can penetrate the skin causing serious injury.
 Do not use your hand to check for leaks. Use a
piece of cardboard or paper to search for leaks.
 Stop the engine and relieve pressure before
connecting or disconnecting lines by moving the
remote control valve lever(s) fully forward to the
‘float’ position then back to neutral.
 Tighten all connections before starting the
engine or pressurising lines.
If any fluid is injected into the skin, obtain medical
attention immediately or gangrene may result.
WARNING
Never work under or allow anyone near raised
equipment as it will drop when relieving pressure in
the system or in the event of hose failure, etc. Before
disconnecting cylinders or equipment ensure the
equipment or implement is supported securely.
Always use a secure support for equipment which
must be serviced while in the raised position.

LIFT RODS, LOWER LINKS AND TOP LINK

(mechanical adjust)
CAUTION
Before attempting to adjust a mechanically operated
lift rod or the top link, lower attached equipment to the
ground, apply the parking brake and stop the engine.
Before removing any securing pin, ensure that
attached equipment is correctly supported and that
no residual pressure remains in the hydraulic
system.
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.
205
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.
206
3--137
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 handle to disengage it from the lock (2)
Figure 208, on the lower section of the lift rod. Rotate
the turnbuckle to lengthen or shorten the lift rod
assembly.
When adjustment is satisfactory, allow the

turnbuckle to lower into position. Ensure that the 207
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.
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.
208
Hitch Float
The float facility allows a limited amount of vertical
movement on the lower link when operating with
wide implements or equipment which requires to
move independently of the lower links.
Remove the lower link retaining clip and lock plate

(1). Withdraw the pin (2) Figure 209, 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 travelling on the road with a 209
heavy implement mounted on the 3--point hitch,
ensure that both lift rods are connected to the lower
links in the FIXED position to prevent excessive
implement bounce.
3--138
TOP LINK AND RIGHT-HAND LIFT ROD

(hydraulic adjust)
The hydraulic adjust top link (1) is available for your

tractor. This may be fitted in conjunction with a
hydraulic adjust right-hand lift rod (2). Both the top
link and the lift rod incorporate a double--acting ram

TOP LINK BRACKET

(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 212
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

pick--up hitch, the pin may foul the hitch lift rods
during removal. If necessary, raise or lower the hitch
until the pin can be easily withdrawn.
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 213
rearwards until the latches lock in the detent (3) on
each link arm. Stop the engine and apply the
handbrake.
Attach the top link and adjust accordingly.
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--140
QUICK HITCH
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.
An adjustable spacer spring is available as an

accessory. The spacer spring can be adjusted to set
the width of the lower links to match that of the 214
implement hitch points.
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 (2) with their
detachable guides (3) should be installed on the
implement lower hitch pins.
215
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.
Place the top link in the transport position. With the

link arms fully lowered and the self-locking latches in
the operating position (1), reverse the tractor until the
link ends are beneath the implement hitch pins. The
combination of large claw openings and the guides
on the implement ball-bushings make precise
alignment of tractor to implement unnecessary. 216
3--141
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 217
lowered fully. Fully lower the lower links and drive the
tractor forward, clear of the implement.
NOTE: Ensure the release cables do not foul 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.
3--142
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
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.
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--143
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. 219
NOTE: When using an Automatic Pick--Up Hitch,

ensure the stabilisers are adjusted to provide
adequate clearance between the lower links and the
hitch.
3--144
AUTOMATIC STABILISERS
Automatic telescopic stabilisers may be fitted in

place of the standard telescopic stabilisers,
described previously.
WARNING
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 cab support 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 220
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
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--145
Adjusting the Stabilisers

In practice, the implement should be attached to the
3--point hitch 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.
221
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
is lowered into work.
IMPORTANT: When setting the stabiliser length to

provide sideways movement, ensure that there is no
possibility of the rear tyres fouling the stabilisers or
lower links.

hitch.
3--146
SWAY BLOCK STABILISERS
Sway block stabilisers may be installed as an

alternative to telescopic stabilisers and will 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
WARNING
stabilisers are installed and correctly adjusted to
prevent excessive lateral movement.
Sway blocks consist of reversible blocks (1) bolted to

either side of the drawbar hanger. A steel wear pad 1 1
(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.
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.
222
Shim/Wear Pad Position
The left-hand side of Figure 222 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 right-hand side of Figure 222 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.
3--147
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 right-hand side of Figure 223.
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 223
left-hand side of Figure 223.
This will allow the implement to sway when the lower

links are lowered into the working position but
become rigid when raised.
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.

SWINGING DRAWBARS
Two types of swinging drawbar are available. The

sliding type is illustrated in Figure 225. This drawbar
may be installed as part of a tow hitch or as an
independent unit.
The roller type, shown in Figure 228, is

recommended when heavy draft, trailed equipment
is used for extended periods. This drawbar is
mounted on rollers and offers additional turning ease
when compared with the sliding type.
Sliding Type Swinging Drawbar
The drawbar (2) pivots about a single pin at the front

end so as to allow the rear of the drawbar to swing
the full width of the hanger. By inserting the swing
limiter pins (1) in the appropriate holes, restricted
movement of the drawbar is permitted.
Alternatively, the drawbar can be pinned in any one

of three positions by insertion of the pins in the
appropriate holes. In Figure 225, the drawbar is
shown pinned in the central position to prevent
swinging.
225
Pin the drawbar to prevent swinging when pulling
equipment which requires accurate positioning and
when transporting equipment.
Allow the drawbar to swing when pulling ground

engaging equipment which does not require
accurate positioning. This will make steering and
turning easier.
WARNING
When transporting equipment or when operating
ground engaging equipment, always secure the
drawbar to prevent swinging.
The drawbar is adjustable for height and projection

relative to the end of the P.T.O. shaft. To vary the
height of the drawbar/implement hitch point, remove
the drawbar and invert it.

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.
230
Check the implement operator’s manual for
implement weight and attaching hardware
specifications.
Safety chains, attaching hardware and chain guide

are available from your authorised dealer.
3--155
REAR TOW HITCH
Description
Various rear tow hitch options are available. All

versions consist of a fabricated steel frame bolted to
the rear axle centre housing. A tow pin or ball is
provided, adjustable for height.
The slider type frame is is equipped with rotating pins

that engage in notches in the frame to secure the
hitch at the required height.
With this type of frame, a second, fixed tow pin (piton)

is available as an option. The piton is installed at the
bottom of the assembly.
Four types of hitch assembly are available :--
 Heavy duty non-swivelling tow pin.

See Figure 231.
 Swivelling tow pin -- auto operation.

See Figure 233.
 Swivelling tow pin -- manual operation.

See Figure 235.
 K 80 ball.
See Figure 239 .
A swinging drawbar may also be provided as part of

the assembly. See ‘Sliding Type Swinging Drawbar’
on page 3--151 for details of drawbar operation.
NOTE: The tow hitch is designed primarily for use

with four wheel trailers which do not place a heavy
downward load on the tow pin. Observe the
maximum static downward loads quoted in the text.
3--156
Slider Frame with non-swivelling Tow Pins

(where fitted)
The tow hitch shown is equipped with a height

adjustable, non-swivelling, tow pin assembly.
Remove the securing clip (1) and lift the handle (5) to
the vertical position. Lifting the handle will rotate the
pins and disengage them from the notches in the
frame. Using both hands on the handle (5) lift or lower
the tow pin assembly (4), as required.
When at the required height, support the tow pin with

one hand and lower the handle to the horizontal 231
position. The pins will rotate and re-engage the notches
in the frame. Lower the P.T.O. guard (6).
To attach a trailer drawbar to the tow pin, remove the

‘R’ clip (3) from the tow pin and lift out using the
handle (2). Re-insert the tow pin so that it passes
through the eye of the trailer drawbar. Replace the ‘R’
clip.
NOTE: The static downward load on the tow pin must

not exceed the rear tyre load capacity or the following
values, whichever is lower. (See Tyre Pressures and
Permissible Loads at the end of Section 3).

assembly must not rest on the P.T.O. guard or on the
bolt heads at the end of the slider guides.
3--158
Swivelling Tow Pin -- Auto Engagement
The tow pin (2) Figure 233, is spring-loaded in the

engaged (down) position, as shown. To attach a trailer
to the tow pin, lift the release lever (1) to the vertical
position to retract the tow pin up into it’s housing.
The release lever is connected by the cable (4) to a

handle in the cab. This will permit trailer attachment
without leaving the cab. Pull up the handle (1) Figure
234 to actuate the cable release and retract the tow
pin up into it’s housing.
233
The pin will stay in the raised position until the trailer
drawbar is located beneath it. The eye of the drawbar
will contact the trip lever (3) Figure 233 and cause
the pin to drop down into the engaged position.
Alternatively, the tow pin will drop down into the
engaged position if the lever (1) is pulled down.
WARNING
Do not attempt to trip the lever by hand as the fingers
may be trapped by the action of the spring-loaded
tow pin.
234
Swivelling Tow Pin -- Manual Engagement
To attach a trailer drawbar to the tow pin, remove the

‘R’ clip (1) Figure 235, from the tow pin and lift out
using the handle (2). Re-insert the tow pin so that it
passes through the eye of the trailer drawbar.
Replace the ‘R’ clip.
NOTE: The static downward load on the tow pin must

not exceed 2000 kg (4400 lb.) or the rear tyre load
capacity, whichever is lower. (See Tyre Pressures
and Permissible Loads at the end of Section 3).
235
3--159
Swivel Lock
The tow pin may be allowed to swivel after loosening

the socket-headed screw (1) Figure 236 on the
underside of the tow pin assembly. This feature will
permit a trailer with a non-swivelling drawbar to
articulate relative to the towing tractor.
IMPORTANT: Do not allow the tractor tow pin to

swivel if the trailed equipment is equipped with a
swivelling tow pin connector.
236
Fixed Tow Pin (Piton)
An optional fixed tow pin (piton) may be provided at

the bottom of the assembly.
To attach a trailer to the piton, remove the lynch pin

(2) and withdraw the retaining pin (4). Lift the security
latch (1) and lower the eye of the trailer drawbar over
the piton (3). Drop the security latch down, re-insert
the retaining pin and secure with the lynch pin. The
security latch will ensure that the trailer cannot
become accidentally detached from the piton
237
NOTE: The static downward load on the piton must

not exceed 3000 kg (6600 lb.) or the rear tyre load
capacity, whichever is lower. (See Tyre Pressures
and Permissible Loads at the end of Section 3).
238
3--160
Slider Frame with K 80 Ball
The tow hitch shown is equipped with a height

adjustable, 80 mm ball assembly.
Remove the securing clip (2) and lift the handle (1) to
the vertical position. Lifting the handle will rotate the
pins and disengage them from the notches in the
frame.
Using both hands on the handle, lift or lower the tow ball
assembly as required. When at the required height,
support the tow ball with one hand and allow the handle
to lower to the horizontal position. The pins will rotate 239
and re-engage the notches in the frame. Lower the
P.T.O. guard.
NOTE: When setting the height of the tow ball, it

should be adjusted to the lowest position relative to
the correct operating height of the implement
drawbar.
To attach a trailer, lift up the retaining catch (2) and

pull out the locking pin (3). This will allow the security
latch (1) to pivot upwards toward the tractor. When
the implement drawbar has been securely attached,
replace the locking pin so it passes through the
security latch and re--insert the ’R’ clip.
NOTE: The static downward load on the tow ball in

its lowest operable position must not exceed 3000 kg
(6600 lb.) or the rear tyre load capacity, whichever is
lower. (See Tyre Pressures and Permissible Loads
at the end of Section 3).
240
3--161
AUTOMATIC PICK--UP HITCH AND DRAWBAR

(where fitted)
The automatic pick--up hitch on your tractor is a

hydraulically extending, drop down type which is
raised and lowered using the 3--point lift. It is fully
self-supporting when locked in the operating (raised)
position. .
The pick--up hitch is equipped with interchangeable

hook and clevis drawbars.
241
Raising and Lowering the Hitch
Rotate the thumb wheel (2) fully forward to position

10. Move the Position Control lever (1) fully
rearwards until the 3-point lift is supporting the weight
of the hitch.
To unlock the hitch, pull up and hold the release

handle (1) Figure 241. Move the Position Control
lever forward to lower the hitch. When the hitch has
cleared the locking latches, allow the release handle
to lower.
The extendible pick--up hitch can be hydraulically 242

extended to aid visibility when attaching towed
equipment.
Operated through one of the rear remote valves, the

hitch is extended or retracted using the remote valve
lever. The hoses should be connected in such a way
that moving the remote valve lever to E (Extend) will
extend the hitch, moving the lever to R (Retract) will
retract the hitch.
Lower the hitch until it is clear of the locking latches

and then extend the hook or clevis rearwards by
moving the remote valve lever to (E). With the
drawbar extended continue to lower the hitch until it
is just above the ground.
243
3--162
Position the tractor so that the hitch hook (2) is

beneath the eye of the implement drawbar and, using
the Position Control lever, raise the hitch until the
implement drawbar is just clear of the ground.
Fully retract the pick--up hitch by moving the remote

valve lever to (R). To assist in retracting the hitch
release the tractor brakes to allow movement of the
tractor towards the implement.
With the hitch in the fully retracted position raise it

slowly until an audible click indicates the locking
latches (1) have engaged the cross tubes (3).
Re--apply the handbrake before leaving the tractor 244
seat.
IMPORTANT: The hitch must be fully retracted

before it will latch correctly. If difficulty is experienced
in latching or unlatching the hitch, refer to Section 4
for adjustments to the latching mechanism.
Push the position control lever forward so that the

weight of the pick--up hitch (and attached implement)
is supported by the locking latches.
CAUTION
Before operating the tractor, visually check to ensure
the locking latches fully support the pick--up hitch by
slightly lowering the 3--point hitch.
NOTE: The maximum static downward load on the

hitch hook must not exceed 3000 kg (6610 lb.)
1
To change from the hook to drawbar, lower the
pick--up hitch, extract the securing pin (2) and
withdraw the hook assembly.
IMPORTANT: Do not remove the front pin (1) as this

retains the hydraulic cylinder inside the hitch slider
frame. 2
Install the clevis drawbar assembly and secure with

pin (2).

Drawbar Hitch Point Downward Load
406 mm (16 in.) 1500 kg (3300 lb.)
IMPORTANT: When supporting equipment on the

drawbar or pick-up hitch 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 Rear Tyre Pressures and
Loads at the end of Section 3).
Storing the Drawbar
When not in use, the hook or clevis drawbar may be

stored in a bracket which is located at the rear of the
tractor or on the right--hand step support. Ensure the
clamp screw is fully tightened to retain the drawbar
in the bracket.
If the hydraulic hitch pressure lines are disconnected

from the remote valve, ensure the male couplings
are protected from contamination and the pressure
lines secured to the tractor to avoid possible
damage.

TRAILER BRAKING SYSTEMS

(where fitted)
HYDRAULIC TRAILER BRAKES

(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.
246
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 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 (2) 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--165
HYDRAULIC TRAILER BRAKES

(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.
247
IMPORTANT: It is essential that the brake pedals 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).
To release hydraulic pressure and free the trailer

brakes, start the engine, depress both brake pedals
and release the tractor parking brake.
NOTE: Always keep the dust--cap (2) 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.
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. 248

pipework.
A filter/dryer unit in the braking system extracts

moisture from the pressurised air helping to avoid

IMPORTANT: In extremely humid conditions, or

where the filter/drier unit has not been serviced
correctly, the air brake reservoirs should be manually
drained on a daily basis. To drain the reservoirs,
grasp the ring on the drain valve below the tank and
move laterally. This will allow any accumulated water
to be exhausted from the reservoir.
3--167
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 249, 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,
Figure 250. To select the air pressure bargraph, use
the CAL/SEL switch or, where fitted, the enhanced
keypad.
249
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, signifying that the unload valve
has opened to allow excess pressure to escape to
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 250
with the trailer brake warning light on.
IMPORTANT: When the footbrakes are applied ,with

the parking brake off, ensure that the front wheel
drive indicator light (1) Figure 251 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. 251
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--168
Dual Line System
For a trailer with a dual line braking system, connect

the supply line hose to the red coupler (2) and the
control line hose to the yellow coupler (1).
IMPORTANT: The dual line system will only operate

if both the red and yellow lines are connected.
Yellow line (control line) -- (1): 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 252
pressure applied to the tractor brake pedals.
Red line (brake supply line) -- (2): 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.
253
Single Line System
(where fitted)
If the trailer has a single line system an additional

coupler is supplied. Connect the hose to the black
coupler.
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.
3--169
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).
254
Connections
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.
255
3--170
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 256

upwards. After adjustment, push the knob
downwards to lock the setting. The adjuster must be
reset to the fully clockwise position when a different
trailer is used.
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.
257
3--171
FRONT WHEEL TRACK ADJUSTMENT

1
IMPORTANT: Fitment of dual wheels to the front
axle is not permitted. Damage to the front axle or
axle components caused by the use of dual wheels
will not be covered under warranty.
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 258
travelling on the highway, ensure that the overall
2
tractor width does not exceed the maximum
permitted in your country.
Front 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 wheels.
CAUTION
Tractor wheels are very heavy. Handle with care and
ensure, when stored, that they cannot topple and
cause injury. 259
3
There are three 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)
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 260
tractor wheels, then refer to the following table and
Figure 275 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.
3--172
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 A
stand. Wheels should always be supported such that
the tyres are only just clear of the ground.
Front wheel drive tractors have fixed axle

assemblies. However the track width is fully
adjustable by changing the wheel rim relative to the B
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 C
track settings. The track widths available are as
follows:
Track Settings
Adjustable Rim (Types 1 and 2)

H 2269 mm (89.3 in.)
F
NOTE: The track widths in Figure 261, are nominal
and may vary by up to 25 mm (1 in.) dependent upon
tyre size.
WARNING
Never operate the tractor with a loose wheel rim or
disc. Always tighten nuts to the specified torque and G
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.
261
3--173
Track Setting -- 50 Km/h Models
Tractors equipped with a 50 Km/h (31 MPH)

transmission will have fixed front wheels offering a
choice of two track settings. To alter the track width, A
interchange both front wheels to provide a narrow (A)
or wide (B) track setting as required.
NOTE: When interchanging left and right--hand

wheel assemblies, ensure the “V” of the tread at the
top of the tyre remains pointing in the direction of
forward travel.

SuperSteer -- min/max. setting A/B 1854mm (73.0 in.) / 2057mm (81.0 in.)
Refitting the Front Wheels
When refitting or adjusting a wheel, tighten the bolts

to the following torques then re-check after driving
the tractor for 200 m (200 yards), after 1 hour and 10
hours operation.
Disc to hub nuts 210 Nm (155 lbf.ft.)

Disc to rim nuts 250 Nm (184 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: At the narrower 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--174
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 1
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.).
2
Should it be necessary to adjust the front wheel
alignment, proceed as follows:
NOTE: Before loosening or removing the track rod

(1), note the position of the offset on the centre
section in relation to the front axle and axle support.
This position must be maintained to ensure adequate 263
clearance between track rod and axle when turning.
Loosen the lock nut (1) on the left--hand track rod

end, then remove and discard the self-locking nut (2)
securing the track rod end in the steering arm.
Extract the track rod end from the steering arm.
Screw the track rod end into or out of the track rod (3)
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 264

nut (2) (3)
All 118Nm 196Nm

(87 lbf. ft.) (145 lbf. ft.)
3--175
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.).
IMPORTANT: After adjusting both steering stops, 265

recheck clearance between the tyres and any part of
the tractor with the front wheels on full lock and the
axle fully articulated.
IMPORTANT: On tractors equipped with Dynamic

Front fenders, the adjustment of the fender stops
must be checked to ensure excessive force is not
applied to them when the steering is at full lock. See
page 3--179.
FRONT AXLE OSCILLATION STOPS

(Standard Axle Only)
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.
266
IMPORTANT: 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.
NOTE: Where front fenders are fitted, ensure

adequate clearance is maintained between front
fender and the tractor chassis or hood with the
steering on full lock and the axle at maximum
oscillation. See front fender adjustment on page
3--177.
3--176
DYNAMIC FRONT FENDERS

(where fitted)
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 steerable 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 centered 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.
IMPORTANT: With certain options and/or tyre sizes,

the smaller track settings may not be attainable due
to minimal clearance between tyre or rim and any
part of the fender or attaching hardware.
Where a combination of narrow track settings and
maximum turn angles are required, it may be
necessary to adjust the fender stops or remove the
fenders to prevent damage to the fenders or tractor.
Steerable fenders are available in four widths, 420,

480, 540 and 620 mm.
FRONT FENDER ADJUSTMENT
A fender may be moved laterally, towards or away

from the tractor, vertically up or down, and may be
tilted forwards or rearwards.
Lateral Adjustment, Fender Support
To move the complete fender assembly laterally,

loosen the two clamp bolts securing the fender
support, (1) to the mounting bracket, (3). Move the
support to the desired position and re--tighten the
bolts.
267
3--177
Vertical Adjustment
The fender may be moved vertically by relocating the

bolts, (2) in the appropriate holes in the fender
support. A number of the holes are elongated
allowing the fender to be tilted forward or rearward.
268
Lateral Adjustment, Fender

The fender support bolt, (1) and bracket attachment
points, (2) beneath the fender, provide further lateral
adjustment allowing the fender to be centered over
the tyre.
NOTE: A second fender support bolt (not shown) is

located on the opposite end of the support bracket.
269
3--178
Fender Turn Stop Adjustment
An adjustable stop bolt, (4) is fitted to both fender

mounting brackets. When turning, the bolt contacts
a fixed stop on the axle housing restricting the angle
at which the fender will turn while allowing the wheels
to continue turning beneath the fender. The stop
bolts may require adjusting if the track width or tyre
size is changed.
Where the axle steering stops are to be adjusted to

provide more lock, the fender stops should also be
reset to prevent excessive force being applied to
them on full lock. 270
 With the front wheels in the straight ahead

position, loosen the fender stop bolts and screw
fully inwards.
 Adjust the axle steering stops to provide the

required steering angle as described on page
3--176.
 With the axle stops adjusted, carefully turn the

steering wheel until the front wheels are on full
RH lock and the axle stop bolt is in contact with
the pad on the front axle.
NOTE: During this procedure the fender may come

into contact with the tractor. Do not move the tractor.
 Adjust the fender stop bolt outwards until there is

sufficient clearance between the fender and the
tractor. Tighten the lock nut. Re--check the
clearance with the axle on full lock and full
oscillation. If necessary re--adjust to provide
adequate clearance.
Repeat the above procedure on the left--hand fender.
3--179
REAR WHEEL TRACK ADJUSTMENT

provides an infinite range of adjustment between the
narrowest and widest settings.
CAUTION
the initial factory position then you may be required
to reposition the lights or fit auxiliary lighting to

Tractors equipped with a bar axle may have a steel

or cast centre disc (2) Figure 277 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.
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 increased to 735 mm (29 in.)
and with the 119 inch axle, 914 mm (36 in.) overall.
277
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.
NOTE: Variable track wheels are not available on

tractors with 50 Km/h transmission.
Tractor wheels are very heavy so 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.
3--183
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 278,

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 (1) Figure 279. 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.
IMPORTANT: Do not use a torque greater than

407Nm (300 lbf.ft)) on the jack bolts. The use of 278
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, including the use of safety
glasses, against the possibility of flying metal
particles.
Set the wheel to the desired position on the shaft.

Remove the jack bolts and replace them in the
original holes (2) Figure 278.
279
3--184
Tighten all six wedge retaining bolts in increments of

68 Nm (50 ft.-lbs.) until the final torque setting is
achieved.
6 x M20 Bolts (Cast centre) 300Nm (221 ft.lbs.)

6 x M22 Bolts Steel centre) 500Nm (369 ft.lbs)
IMPORTANT: The wedge bolts must be tightened

evenly.
Repeat the procedure on the other wheel, making

sure that both rear wheels are the same distance
from the ends of the axle shafts.
NOTE: Check the torque of all wedge retaining bolts

on each wheel hub after driving the tractor for 200 m
(200 yards), after 1 hour and 10 hours operation.

Moving the Outer Wheel on the Axle Shaft
Each wedge is retained in the hub by two M22 bolts

which pass through the hub and screw into the
wedge on the inside of the wheel. To loosen the
wedges, remove the bolts from their clamp position
(1) and replace in the threaded holes (2). Tighten the
bolts evenly until the wedges are loosened enough
to allow the wheel to be moved on the axle shaft.
After moving the wheel, replace the bolts in their
original positions (1) and re--tighten to clamp the
wheel to the axle shaft.
Tighten all wedge retaining bolts in increments of 287

68Nm (50 ft.-lbs.) until a final torque of 500Nm (369
lbf.ft.) is achieved.
Repeat the procedure on the other wheel, making
sure that both wheels are the same distance from the
outer ends of the axle shaft.
NOTE: Check the torque of all wedge retaining bolts

on each wheel hub after driving the tractor for 200m
(200 yards), after 1 hour and 10 hours operation.

BALLASTING AND TYRES
GENERAL Factors Affecting Tyre Performance
Maximum tractor performance is dependent upon  Correct air pressure for the load
proper ballasting and tyre selection. Maximum
efficiency will be achieved when tractor weight is  Correct wheel slip

 Correct tyre size for expected load
The tyres selected for your tractor must be able to
support the weight of the tractor and equipment and
 Correct fill of liquid ballast
must also be able to provide adequate traction to
utilize the tractor horsepower and turn it into useful
drawbar horsepower.  Maintaining equal tyre pressure in both tyres on
a given axle.
Always maintain the correct air pressure in the tyre
to carry the load. Do not over inflate tyres. Selecting Ballast

and tow hook.
Installing Front Weights
The weights are clamped together by means of the

long through bolts (1) and (3) and secured to the
carrier by the clamp bolts (2).
The weights may be removed as a complete set with

the aid of suitable lifting gear. Loosen the clamp bolts
(2) and slide the clamp assembly sideways out of the
weight pack. With a lifting bar passed through the
central hole in the weights, the complete weight set
may now be lifted off the carrier.
Alternatively, the weights can be removed 290

individually after loosening the clamp bolts and
removing all four through bolts (1) and (3).
CAUTION
The tractor must not be operated unless all four
through bolts and the clamp bolts are in position with
the bolts tightened to 125 lbf.ft. (169 Nm). Recheck
the bolt torques after 50 hours of operation if the bolts
have been disturbed for any reason.
3--196
A towing facility is built into the weight carrier.

However, if the weights are installed a tow pin (1) is
available that clamps onto the front of the weight
pack.
Front tow hook adds 7.0 kg (15 lbs.) to the total

weight
291
In addition to the wafer weights, a 450 kg (992 lb.)
chassis weight may be fitted below the front of the
tractor behind the wafer weights.
The chassis weight is not compatible with

SuperSteer models.
292
Where front weights or weight carrier are not

installed, a tow pin is available for bolting directly to
the front axle support.
Front tow hook adds 5.0 kg (11 lbs.) to the total

weight

3--197
LIQUID BALLAST
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.

could lead to severe damage to both the engine and
the fuel injection equipment.
The main concerns related to operation with
biodiesel fuels are:
 Filters and injector blockage caused by poor fuel

quality.
 Wear and corrosion of internal components due
to water content, which affects lubricity.
 Deterioration of some rubber sealing com-
pounds in the fuel system.
 Biodiesel oxidation, which can lead to the
formation of deposits that can harm the fuel
injection system.
NOTICE: Any problem in the engine fuel injection
equipment associated with non--compliance to the
following conditions for biodiesel fuel handling and
maintenance will not be covered by Warranty.
Purchase biodiesel fuel from a trusted supplier who

understands the product and maintains acceptable
fuel quality.

FUEL STORAGE
Take the following precautions to ensure that stored
fuel is kept free of dirt, water and other contaminants.
 Store fuel in black iron tanks, not galvanized
tanks, as the zinc coating will react with the fuel
and form compounds that will contaminate the
injection pump and injectors.
 Install bulk storage tanks away from direct
sunlight and angle them slightly so sediment in
the tanks will settle away from the outlet pipe.
 To facilitate moisture and sediment removal,
provide a drain plug at the lowest point at the end
opposite the outlet pipe.
 If fuel is not filtered from the storage tank, put a
funnel with a fine mesh screen in the fuel tank
filler neck when refuelling.
 Arrange fuel purchases so summer grade fuels
are not held over and used in winter.
Storage, handling, and transport

NOTICE: Storage temperatures above 30C (86F) greatly reduce the shelf life of DEF/AdBlue.
DEF/AdBlue has a typical shelf life of 6--12 months. Refer to the SHELF LIFE table below. In order for
DEF/AdBlue to remain in a useable condition, storage requirements need to be met.
 Store between --11C (12F) and 30C (86F).

 Use only an approved DEF/AdBlue container. Contact your dealer to obtain proper storage container(s).
 Keep container tightly closed.
 Keep container in a cool, well--ventilated area.
 Keep away from heat and direct sunlight.
Thawing
 Your machine is equipped with an internal tank heater to thaw frozen DEF/AdBlue. Your machine will still
function until the DEF/AdBlue begins to flow. The SCR system will then function normally.
 Do not heat DEF/AdBlue for long periods of time at temperatures above 30C (86F). This causes the
solution to decompose, which very slowly decreases the expected shelf life.
NOTICE: Do not use an anti--gelling or freeze point improver in your DEF/AdBlue. The 32.5 % solution is
specifically designed to provide the optimum NOx reduction properties. Any further blending or adjusting of the
DEF/AdBlue mixture will lessen its ability to perform correctly and may cause damage to the SCR components.
Handling and supply of additives, if any.

 Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is not required under normal conditions. If splashing is likely, wear eye
protection. For prolonged or repeated contact, impervious gloves are recommended. Follow the precautions
listed in the SAFETY INFORMATION chapter when handling any service fluid.
 No additives are required.
NOTICE: Contaminated DEF/AdBlue can affect the performance of your machine. Follow all instructions in
this manual when handling DEF/AdBlue.

Shelf life
Constant ambient storage temperature Maximum shelf life
Less than or equal to 10C (50F) 36 months
Less than or equal to 25C (77F) 1 18 months
Greater than 35C (95F) -- 2
1To prevent decomposition of DEF/AdBlue, prolonged transportation or storage above 25C (77F) should
be avoided.
2 Significant loss of shelf life: check every batch before use. See your dealer for more information on
testing.
NOTE: The main factors taken into account to define the shelf life in the table above are the ambient storage
temperature and the initial alkalinity of DEF/AdBlue. The difference in evaporation between vented and
non--vented storage containers is an additional factor.
NOTE: The information in this table is for reference only and has been provided by the International Organization
for Standardization, Document number ISO 22241--3 Diesel engines -- NOx reduction agent AUS 32 -- Part 3:
Handling, transportation and storage.
Disposal
 Dispose of DEF/AdBlue and any filter accumulations in accordance with all applicable Federal, State, and
local laws governing waste disposal.
Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF)/AdBlue refilling

The DEF/AdBlue tank is located on the left--hand
side of the machine, next to the diesel filling port (1).
The DEF/AdBlue tank cap (2) can be identified by

the “blue” color of the cap. A fitting under the cap
prevents the insertion of a diesel fill nozzle.
NOTICE: If any DEF/AdBlue spills or contacts any

surface other than the storage tanks, immediately
clean the affected surface with clear water.
DEF/AdBlue will cause corrosion on painted and
unpainted metallic surfaces, and may distort some
2
plastic and rubber components.
It is recommended that DEF/AdBlue filling equipment should be used having a fill nozzle/pump with the correct
length and diameter, triggered by the magnet in the tank filler neck and with overfill flow cut out.
This will ensure that:
 The screen in the filler neck will not be damaged.

 Impurities are not entering the DEF/AdBlue tank. The standardized DEF/AdBlue nozzle matches the filler
neck diameter.
 The DEF/AdBlue tank is not overfilled, as the DEF/AdBlue pump will stop when the DEF/AdBlue tank
is full.
4--9
 DEF/AdBlue is not pumped in the fuel tank, as the DEF/AdBlue nozzle cannot pump when the magnet
is not sensed.
NOTICE: Refilling with a funnel is not recommended as this may lead to damage of the screen in the filler neck.
NOTE: The information above has been provided by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO),
Document number ISO 22241--4 Diesel engines -- NOx reduction agent AUS 32 -- Part 4: Refilling interface.
FILLING THE FUEL TANK

1. Clean the area around the fuel cap, 1, to prevent
dirt from entering tank and contaminating the
fuel.
2. Remove the cap and place in a clean area during
refuelling. The cap is attached to the fuel tank by
a chain to prevent loss.
3. After filling the tank, replace and tighten the fuel
cap.

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 4
at the front of the hood. All routine maintenance
operations may be performed with the hood raised to
this position.
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. 5
NOTE: Depending on the day of manufacture the

described hood opening mechanism could be
replaced already by a new mechanism which
requires unlocking by the use of a standard tool.
4--11
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.
Right--Hand Footsteps
The right-hand footsteps on your tractor are secured

by six retaining bolts and cover the battery.
For access to the battery, remove the six retaining

bolts.
When replacing the steps, ensure the six retaining

bolts are tightened securely.

and Water Trap.
4--19
EVERY 10 HOURS OF OPERATION OR DAILY

(whichever occurs first)
OPERATION 3
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--13 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 14
escape before fully removing the cap. 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.

OPERATION 32
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:

 Increase rust prevention.
 Reduce scale formation.
 Minimise cylinder wall erosion (pitting).
 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 Ambra
Agriflu 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 108
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. Never remove the cap from the top of
the radiator unless the expansion tank pressure cap
(1) Figure 109 has first been removed.
When cold the coolant level in the recovery tank (2)

should be above the bottom line (3).
IMPORTANT: It is essential that an approved

pressure cap is used. If the cap is mislaid or
damaged, obtain a replacement from your dealer. 109

operator to reverse the air flow through the
radiator/coolers and front grille to remove dust and
debris.
Operation of the reversible fan may be included in a

Headland Turn Sequence programme.
Depress the switch to rotate the fan blades through

180 on the hub. This will reverse the flow of air
through the radiator and cooler cores.
The complete process takes approximately 30

seconds and during that time the light will illuminate 125
in the switch.
NOTE: As the engine fan generates a considerable

air flow, it is recommended the engine speed be
reduced when reversing the fan. This will prevent
unnecessary strain on the Poly--V belt as the air flow
is reveresed.
At the end of the process the fan blades will

automatically return to their normal working position
and the light will extinguish.
The process can be stopped at any time by

depressing the fan switch again.

FUEL SYSTEM PRE--FILTER AND WATER
TRAP
The fuel system on your tractor is protected by a
pre--filter and water trap. If water appears in the
glass bowl of the pre--filter (1), stop the engine and
clean out the filter bowl. To remove the bowl, loosen
the knurled clamp screw (2), and swing the retaining
clip out of the way.
With the retaining clip out of the way, the glass bowl
and filter can be removed by pulling downwards.
Empty the contents of the bowl into a suitable
container and dispose of properly.
Clean the glass bowl and wash the filter gauze in

clean fuel to remove the contaminants. Check the
sealing ring in the filter head for damage and replace 126
if necessary. Refit the filter into the glass bowl and
re--attach the assembly to the filter head ensuring the
raised boss on the filter is correctly located in the
housing.
Re--tighten the knurled clamp screw.
After this operation, should it be necessary to prime

the system see Operation 41.

OPERATION 41
BLEEDING THE FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM
To Bleed the Fuel System
It may be necessary after carrying out maintenance

work on the fuel injection system or, after running out
of fuel, to purge the system of air to allow the engine
to start.
If the engine fails to start after several turns, after one

of the above situations has occurred, bleed the
system using the following procedure:
1. Ensure the tractor has adequate fuel and the

battery is fully charged.
2. Unscrew the primer pump knob and proceed to

pump until a high resistance is felt when pushing
the pump downwards.
3. Slowly push the plunger down against the

resistance until the pump knob can be screwed
fully home into the filter head.
The fuel injectors and fuel injection pump are of the

self bleed type and therefore any air remaining in the
system will be purged as the engine is cranked to
start.

clutch packs that may require periodic calibration to
compensate for wear. Calibration of the clutches
should be performed at the 50 Hour Service and
thereafter only if a deterioration in gear shift quality
is noted.
NOTE: During the calibration procedure the

electronic management system detects precisely the
point at which the clutches start to engage. The
engagement is detected by a reduction in engine
speed. During calibration it is essential that no action
is taken to to cause the engine speed to vary. Be sure
that the air conditioner and all electrical equipment is

Loosen the locknuts (3) and turn the adjuster (2) on

each lift rod equally. Ensure that both hitch lift arms
are supporting the hitch equally at the start of the
raise.
Check the hitch latches fully support the hitch at (4)

when the hitch is in the working position. Latch and
unlatch the hitch to make sure of smooth operation.
NOTE: On hydraulically extending hitches (as

shown) ensure the drawbar is fully retracted before
carrying out any adjustment procedures.
When fully raised ensure that the hydraulic system 137

relief valve does not blow or that the hitch lift rods are
not under tension. Both these symptoms indicate
that the hitch lift rods are too short.
Tighten the locknuts to 100 Nm (72 lbf. ft.).
With the hitch latched in the raised position, adjust

the operating cable by means of the adjuster nuts (1)
to remove all slack from the inner cable.
To check operation of the pick--up hitch, place a load

on the hook, a trailer or implement is suggested, and
check the hitch will latch and unlatch satisfactorily.
If adjustment of the latching mechanism is required,

the calibration of the 3--point hitch should also be
checked to ensure maximum height of lift is being
achieved on the pick--up hitch. See Section 3,
Electronic Draft Control.

CAB SUSPENSION ADJUSTMENT
(where fitted)
On tractors with a suspended cab the pre--load on

the suspension unit (1) Figure 139, may be adjusted
to suit heavier or lighter weights carried in the cab.
NOTE: Depending on track setting, the tractor rear
wheel may need to be removed for easy access to
the cab suspension adjuster.
Suspension Setting
The pre--load adjuster is used to set the cab

suspension so it operates in the optimum comfort
zone for normal driving conditions. Position II
provides the ideal setting for a 68kg (150 lbs.)
operator plus additional equipment weighing 22kg 139
(48 lbs.) carried in the cab.
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.
140
IMPORTANT: For correct suspension operation it is
vital that both suspension units are adjusted to the
same setting. An imbalance in adjustment will 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.
NOTE: Use only the special tool provided to carry out

any pre--load adjustment, using alternative
equipment may damage the adjuster components.

SECTION 6 -- ACCESSORIES
ISO CONNECTOR
Implements equipped with an ISO standard

electronic control unit/s can be connected to the
monitor via one of the multi--pin ISO connectors.
AUTO GUIDANCE CONTROL
Where a tractor is equipped with Auto Guidance, the

master switch to energise the system is on the
right--hand cab ’C’ pillar.
The switch has two positions, central (as shown) will

disconnect power from the system, depressing the
top of the switch will energise the system and a light
in the switch will illuminate to confirm activation.
When the system is not in use, it is recommended the

master switch is turned off.
3
With the system energised, depressing the

activation switch on the armrest unit will engage Auto
Guidance. A light in the switch will illuminate to
confirm engagement.
To disengage the Auto Guidance function depress

the switch again or manually turn the steering wheel.
6--2
ROTATING BEACON
The beacon switch is located in the control panel in

the roof. Press in the button identified with the
beacon symbol to provide power to the rotating
beacon socket outlet.
NOTE: Less cab models will have the beacon switch

located on the main switch panel on the right--hand
control console.
The roof beacon kit consists of a rotating beacon,

support bracket and fitting hardware to attach to the
roof of the tractor. 5
A socket connected to the tractor electrical circuit (1),

is provided each side of the cab at the rear of the
tractor. When not in use, ensure the socket cover is
replaced to prevent water ingress.
AUXILIARY HEADLIGHTS
A set of additional dipping headlights are available for

use with front mounted equipment. Located on the
upper right and left--hand grab rails, the headlight
beams pass over front mounted equipment to
illuminate the road ahead.
To turn on the auxiliary headlights, depress the

switch on the left--hand ’C’ pillar in the cab. When
switched on the auxiliary headlight beams may be
dipped using the multi--function switch on the left of
the steering column.

6--3
BATTERY ISOLATOR SWITCH
Before disconnecting battery power with the isolator,

ensure the key--start and any other electrical
switches are turned OFF.
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.
The solenoid operated battery isolator is controlled

by a switch (1) located on the left--hand cab ’C’ pillar.
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. 8
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.

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. See page 3--133 for further details.
