SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

SERVICING THE TRACTOR or fuel oil under pressure can penetrate the skin caus-
ing serious injury. Unqualified persons should not re-
move or attempt to adjust a pump, injector, nozzle or
any other part of the fuel injection or hydraulic sys-
tems. Failure to follow these instructions can result in
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 con-


necting or disconnecting lines.

1. The cooling system operates under pressure


which is controlled by the radiator cap. It is dangerous
to remove the cap while the system is hot. Always turn
the cap slowly to the first stop and allow the pressure
to escape before removing the cap entirely.

IMPORTANT: The tractor should only be towed a
short distance, such as out of a building. Do not tow on
roadways or as a method of transport.

IMPORTANT: For transport purposes, haul the tractor


with all four wheels on a flat bed trailer or truck.

Use a strong chain when towing the tractor. Tow the


tractor from the rear using only the drawbar, rear tow
hitch or the three-point hitch. Tow the tractor from the
front using both tie down brackets (1) or the tow pin
(2) in the front weight support. Have an operator steer
and brake the tractor.

GENERAL INFORMATION

• Keep speed below 5 MPH (8 km/h)

• If possible, run the engine to provide lubrication,


power steering and power brakes.

CAUTION: Do not tow the tractor faster than


5 MPH (8 km/h). Steering is much slower and
steering wheel effort is much greater without the en-
gine running.

WARNING: Do not use cables or rope to tow


the tractor. If the cable or rope breaks or slips,
it may whip with sufficient force to cause serious inju-
ry.

such as ground speed or PTO speed. Driving the
tractor will cause the display to change automatically
to ground speed. The hour meter display may be
recalled at any time by touching switch (3) Figure 35.

With the engine running, the hour meter will accumu-


late hours in increments of 0.1 hours until 1999.9
hours are reached. After that time, the hour meter will
accumulate complete hours only, e.g. 2000, 2001
hours, etc. 33

18
SECTION 2

NOTE: Accumulated hours are stored in the comput-


er permanent memory which is not affected by
disconnecting the tractor batteries.

The hour meter may be programmed to remind the


operator when the next scheduled service is due.
When a Service is due, the word ‘SERVICE’ (3)
Figure 34, will flash along with the selected display.
See ‘Programming the Service Reminder Indicators’.

Ground Speed Display (Speedometer)


NOTE: The electronic instrument panel is set at the
factory to display either English (Imperial - MPH & 34
FT) or Metric (km/h & METERS). If required, the
display may be reprogrammed to show the desired
values by holding in the E/M switch (4) Figure 35, for
three seconds. The display will change and convert
the digits to the new values.

Touch the switch (1) Figure 35, to show the ground


speed in the main display. The MPH or km/h legend
(5) Figure 34, as appropriate, will also be displayed.

NOTE: The speedometer senses rotation of the rear


axle and may be subject to errors caused by the
effects of wheel slip, tyre pressures/condition, etc. If
the optional radar sensor is installed, the tractor
senses true ground speed for greater accuracy.

NOTE: The lower central display will automatically


show ground speed if the tractor is travelling at more
35
than 12.4 MPH (20 km/h). If required to display any

electrical circuits, a malfunction warning symbol
‘Read your Manual’ (4) will be displayed. Fault codes
can be reviewed using the procedure detailed in the
‘EIC-Programming’ section.
38

If the fault code indicator or fault codes are displayed,


refer to the ‘EIC Programming’ section for information
on retrieving and clearing the display.

SELECTABLE DISPLAY INFORMATION


The following information may be selected for display:

Area Per Hour Forecaster - Figure 39


Touch the AREA/HR switch (4). The ‘AREA/HOUR’
legend (1) will display, together with a forecast of the
area (2) that will be worked in one hour if the current
rate of work is continued.

This forecast is based on the last 5 seconds running


average. The forecast may be in acres (denoted by
FT) (3) or hectares (denoted by METERS). The unit
of measure, FT or METER, may be changed by
pressing the E/M switch for 3 seconds.

‘0’ will be displayed whenever the tractor is stopped.

NOTE: If the radar option is not installed, area per


hour calculations are based on axle speed and are
subject to inaccuracies caused by any wheel slip that
may occur. 39

21
Area Accumulator - Figure 40
Accumulated area (total area worked) (1) can be
displayed by depressing the AREA switch (2). Area is
displayed in acres or hectares. ‘AREA ON’ (6) will be
displayed. Touch the START/STOP switch (3) and the
word ‘OFF’ (5) will display indicating the area counter
is shut off. If the 3-point hitch is raised, the word ‘OFF’
should appear to stop area accumulation. Lower the
3-point hitch to again display ‘AREA ON’ and continue
accumulating area.

Imperial display (acres), designated by the ‘FT’


legend (4) starts to accumulate in increments of 0.1
40
acres. When 1000 acres are reached, area accu-
mulation continues in whole acres. When 9999 acres
are reached, the display will reset to zero.

Metric display (hectares), designated by the legend


METERS starts to accumulate in increments of .01
hectares. When 100.0 hectares are reached, area
accumulation continues in increments of 0.1 hectares
until 1000 is reached. The display will then accumu-
late whole hectares. When 9999 hectares are
reached, the display will reset to zero.

With AREA selected, area accumulation can be reset


to zero by holding down the START/STOP switch (3)
for three seconds until a ‘beep’ is heard from the
audible alarm.

NOTE: If the radar option is not installed, area


calculations are based on axle speed and are subject
to inaccuracies caused by anywheel slip that may
occur.

Wheel Slip (with radar option) - Figure 41


Touch the % SLIP selector switch (4). The ‘% SLIP’
legend (1) will display together with a two-digit slip
value (2) in the main TPM display. The slip value is
detected by the comparison of theoretical ground
speed (axle rotation sensor) with true ground speed
(radar sensor).

Slip zero calibration occurs automatically. However,


when widely differing soil conditions are encoun-
tered, it may be necessary to manually zero the wheel
slip ratio, as follows: 41

22
SECTION 2

Drive the tractor in the soil conditions to be worked,


with implement raised, at a constant speed of less
than 10 MPH (16 km/h). This will determine the
minimum wheel slip under light operating conditions
to be used as a 0% reference point. With % SLIP
function selected, hold down the START/STOP
switch (5) for at least three seconds.

A ‘beep’ from the alarm and ‘0’ in the display indicates


that the module has been calibrated to a minimum slip
condition.

WARNING: The radar ground speed sensor


emits a low intensity microwave signal which
will not cause any ill effects in normal use. Although
the signal intensity is low, do not look directly into the
face of the sensor while in operation so as to avoid
eye damage.

IMPORTANT: Before carrying out arc welding on the


tractor or on any equipment attached to the tractor,
disconnect all power and earth leads from the
batteries in order to avoid possible damage to
electronic components.

Slip Alarm (with radar option) - Figure 41


A slip alarm point may be entered - see ‘EIC
Programming’. When wheel slip exceeds the value
entered, the alarm will sound for 1 second. If wheel
slip is selected, the ‘% SLIP’ (1) legend will be

display to show the first Service Reminder (see
following text).

PROGRAMMING THE SERVICE REMINDERS


- Figures 51 to 54

Figure 51
During normal tractor operation, the hour meter will
reach preprogrammed service intervals. This causes
the word ‘SERVICE’ (1) to flash whenever the key is
on if a service is due. The symbol will flash for the next
10 hours of operation or until the specific service is
completed and the display is reset. 51

26
SECTION 2

The operator can programme 1, 2 or no Service


Reminders into the lower selectable LCD.

Example: The operator wants the hour meter to signal


for minor service every 50 hours and a major service
every 300 hours:

Figure 52
The letter ‘I’ (1) and the 3-digit number (2) in the
display corresponds to the ‘next service due’ interval
previously entered into the memory. If ‘I 025’ is
displayed, the hour meter will signal the operator
every 25 hours that service is due. A ‘I 000 52
programmed into the display will disable the Service
Reminder.

The left-hand digit of the display will be flashing. If the


digit is already reading ‘0’, there is no need to change
it. Touch the DIGIT SELECT switch (3) to select the
next digit to the right, which will flash.

Figure 53
Each touch of the DIGIT SET switch (6) will increase
the value of the flashing digit (1) by one. When the
digit value reaches ‘5’, touch the DIGIT SELECT
switch (5) which will cause the next digit (2) in the
display to flash. Change the value of this digit, if
necessary, using the DIGIT SET switch (6) as
previously described until it reaches ‘0’.

53
With ‘I 050’ displayed, touch the SET UP/SELECT
switch (4). The Service Reminder II can now be
programmed for the 300- hour service interval.

Every 50 hours of tractor operation the word ‘SER-


VICE’ will flash when the key is on. The display will
continue to flash until the START/STOP, RESET
switch (3) is used to cancel the flashing display after
re-entering the Service Reminder programming
mode.

Figure 54
To programme the Service Reminder II, the process
is the same as for Service Reminder I, but when the
SET UP/SELECT switch (3) is touched, the legend ‘I’
(1) will change to ‘II’. The next digit (2) will be flashing,
indicating that the operator can now programme the
300-hour Service Reminder Interval II. 54

27
OPERATION

CANCELLING THE SERVICE REMINDERS


- Figure 55
To identify which service is due and to cancel the
reminder after the service has been completed,
re-enter the service reminder programming menu. If
the word ‘SERVICE’ (1) is flashing and a single ‘I’ is
displayed, complete the 50-hour service as de-
scribed in the Lubrication and Maintenance section
and cancel the reminder by holding the START/STOP,
RESET switch (3) for three seconds.

The left digit will begin flashing, indicating that the


service hour interval can now be changed. If no
change is desired, touch the SET UP/SELECT switch
55
(4) to select the service reminder ‘II’. If the word
‘SERVICE’ (1) is flashing and ‘II’ (5) is displayed, the
300-hour service (2) is required.

To cancel the reminder after the service has been


completed, hold the START/STOP, RESET switch (3)
for three seconds.

NOTE: If the START/STOP, RESET switch (3) is held


for an additional three seconds, the previously stored
service reminder interval will be reset to 0. To
reprogramme a new interval, review the previous
programming steps.

After the service intervals have been entered, touch


the SET UP/SELECT switch (4) to view and change
the Ground Speed Calibration constant, as follows:

GROUND SPEED CALIBRATION (tractors with- 56


out radar sensor)
The ground speed in the display is calibrated in the
factory to suit the static radius of the rear tyres.
However, should tyres of a different size be installed,
weights or equipment permanently installed on the
tractor that would alter the static radius of the tyres by
more than 0.25 in. (6 mm), the EIC should be
recalibrated to display a more accurate ground speed
using the following method:

Ensure that the tyre pressures are correct for the load
being carried. See ‘Tyre Load/Inflation Tables’.

Figure 56
Park the tractor on a firm, level surface and carefully
measure the distance from the centre of the rear hub
to the ground (1). This is the actual static loaded
radius.

28
SECTION 2

Figure 57
While in the programming mode, ensure that the word
‘CAL’ (4) the ‘FT’ (3) or ‘METERS’ legend and the
previously entered calibration number (2) is dis-
played with the left-hand digit (1) flashing.

If required, change the value of the flashing digit using


the DIGIT SET switch (7) as described previously in
‘Programming the Service Reminders’.

Enter the actual static loaded radius of the tyre in


inches to the closest 0.1 in. (or to the closest mm if
using metric units). 57

NOTE: The lowest allowable number is 26 inches


(641 mm).

To select the next digit to the right, use the DIGIT


SELECT switch (6) and when that digit is flashing use
the DIGIT SET switch (7) to change the value. Repeat
for the remaining digits.

When the required calibration number is displayed,


enter it into the memory by holding the SET UP/SE-
LECT switch (5) for three seconds. Touch the switch
again to cycle to the next calibration step which is
Area Preset’.

GROUND SPEED CALIBRATION (tractors with 58


radar sensor)
The ground speed on tractors equipped with the

OPERATION

TRANSMISSION

POWERSHIFT TRANSMISSION - Figure 76


Thoroughly read the following information before
operating the transmission.

The Powershift transmission is operated by a single


control lever (1). Because the transmission has only
one control lever, it is extremely easy to use.

NOTE: The control lever is equipped with a neutral


lock button (2) The control lever may only be moved
to the forward or reverse positions if the neutral lock 76
button on the control lever knob is depressed. Neutral
may be selected without depressing the neutral lock
button.

In place of the usual clutch pedal is an inching pedal.

The powershift transmission control lever is used to


select forward or reverse travel and to change
transmission speeds. Move the lever forward for
forward travel and rearward for reverse travel.

NOTE: The transmission directional clutches require


calibration after the first 50 hours of use and thereafter
every 1200 hours (or every 300 hours if the tractor is
subjected to arduous use). If harsh changes are
noted, the transmission may require recalibration.

SECTION 2

DIGITAL DISPLAY - Figure 77


The function of the LCD display (1) is to indicate which
gear is selected and whether the transmission is in
forward (F), neutral (N), or reverse (R).

INCHING PEDAL - Figures 78 and 79

Figure 78
The inching pedal (1) is installed in place of the clutch
pedal found on tractors with a conventional trans-
mission. The inching pedal operates like a clutch, for
safe, accurate positioning of the tractor when hitching 77
up implements or operating in confined spaces, etc.
The inching pedal is not required for normal gear
changes.

Figure 79
Optimum inching control, particularly with heavy
loads, is achieved in the lowest ratios (F1 and R2).
The degree of inching control gradually diminishes as
higher gear ratios are selected up to 10th. speed. At
gear ratios higher than 10th., the electronic manage-
ment system takes over to protect the system from
misuse.

IMPORTANT: To ensure maximum transmission life,


avoid using the inching pedal as a footrest (‘riding’ the
pedal). Use of the inching pedal is only necessary if 78
the low gears are not slow enough at moderate/low
engine speeds to give precise control for operations
such as implement attachment, etc.

When using the inching pedal, particularly at high


engine speeds, avoid stalling the engine. Lubrication
of the transmission ceases under stall conditions and
is detrimental to the transmission.

The inching pedal may also be used to automatically


select a gear ratio to match load, engine speed and
road conditions. See ‘Speed Matching’ later in this
section.

To stop the tractor in an emergency, depress the


inching pedal and apply both foot brakes together. 79

OPERATION

STARTING THE ENGINE AND MOVING FOR-


WARD
There are two methods:

Method 1. - Preselect a Forward Gear Ratio Be-


fore Moving - Figures 80 and 81
Start the engine with the speed control lever in neutral
(the digital display will show ‘N5’).

Nudge or hold the control lever to the right and allow


the transmission to select any speed ratio between
5th. and 10th. as shown in the display. (10th. speed
is the highest available speed for moving from a
standstill). 80

To start in a speed ratio below 5th., nudge or hold the


control lever to the left and allow the display to change
sequentially from 5th. down to 1st.

Figure 81
After the desired gear ratio is selected, increase
engine speed, as required, by means of the throttle.
Depress the neutral lock button (2) Figure 76 and
move the control lever (1) forward.

To increase tractor speed, open the throttle further


and/or continue to nudge or hold the control lever to
the right to select a higher speed ratio.

To decrease speed, close the throttle and/or move the


control lever to the left to select a lower gear ratio.
81

Method 2. - Powershift Forward Gear Ratios


While Moving - Figure 82
With the engine running, depress the neutral lock
button and move the control lever forward (the digital
display will show ‘F5’ and the tractor will start to move
forward).

Increase engine speed and/or move the control lever


to the right and allow the transmission to run through
the gear ratios until the desired operating speed is
achieved.

To further increase tractor speed, open the throttle


more and/or continue to hold the control lever to the
right to select a higher ratio.

To decrease speed, close the throttle and/or hold the


control lever to the left to select a lower ratio. 82

40
SECTION 2

WARNING: Never move the control lever to


neutral when travelling at high speeds. This
could allow the transmission to speed match and it
may not be possible to reselect the original gear ratio,
particularly if travelling down a steep gradient. In any
event, actions such as coasting should never be
practiced, for safety reasons.

STARTING THE ENGINE AND MOVING IN RE-


VERSE
As with forward travel, there are two methods:

Method 1. - Preselect a Reverse Gear Ratio Be-


fore Moving - Figure 83
Start the engine with the control lever in neutral (the
digital display will show N5’).

Nudge or hold the control lever to the right and allow the
transmission to select any gear ratio between 5th. and
10th. as shown in the display. Nudge the lever to the left
to sequentially select ratios down to 2nd.

NOTE: There are nine reverse gears, the lowest


shown as R2 in the digital display, the highest shown
as R10. They are numbered R2 to R10 since the
ground speeds correspond approximately to the
forward speeds F2 to F10.

After the desired gear ratio is selected, depress the


neutral lock button and move the control lever
rearward. To increase speed, open the throttle further
83
and/or hold the control lever to the right to select a
higher gear ratio.

To decrease speed, close the throttle and/or hold the


control lever to the left to select a lower gear ratio.

NOTE: If the transmission has been pre- pro-


grammed to select a different reverse from forward
gear, the neutral gear selected may change when
reverse gear is selected. See ‘Programming Reverse
Gear Ratios’ later in this section.

41
Method 2. - Powershift Reverse Gear Ratios
While Moving - Figure 84
With the engine running, depress the neutral lock
button and move the control lever rearward. The
digital display will show ‘R5’, provided the transmis-
sion has not been preprogrammed (see ‘Program-
ming Reverse Gear Ratios’ later in this section).
Nudge or hold the lever to the right and allow the
transmission to run through the gear ratios until the
desired operating speed is achieved.

To further increase tractor speed, open the throttle


more and/or hold the control lever to the right to select 84
a higher ratio.

To decrease speed, close the throttle and/or move the


control lever to the left to select a lower ratio.

Shuttle Operations
To change from forward to reverse travel, simply
depress the neutral lock button and move the control
lever fully rearward. This may be done at any engine
speed and with any gear ratio selected.

WARNING: Gear ratios 1 and 11 - 18 inclu-


sive are not available in reverse. If travelling
forward in, for example, 1st. gear, the lowest reverse
gear (2nd.) will be automatically selected when the
control lever is moved to the reverse position. The op-
erator should be aware of this feature as there will be
a corresponding increase in tractor speed.

Conversely, if travelling forward in, for example, 15th.


gear, the highest reverse gear (10th.) will be automat-
ically selected when the control lever is moved to the
reverse position with, a corresponding reduction in
tractor speed.

SPEED MATCHING
When travelling on the road in 10th. gear or higher, the
transmission will automatically select a ratio to match
the engine speed to the road speed if the following is
performed: 85

42
SECTION 2

Up- Shift - Figure 85


Momentarily depress the inching pedal, then de-
crease engine speed with the foot throttle. Release
the inching pedal, then increase engine speed. The
transmission will automatically select a higher ratio
(provided 18th. speed is not already selected) to
match the lower engine speed and so maintain
approximately the same road speed.

NOTE: It is recommended that the hand throttle is set


to maintain a minimum engine speed of 1000 rev/min
and the foot throttle is used when higher engine
speeds are required.

Down- Shift - Figure 86


Decrease engine speed, then depress the inching
pedal, simultaneously increasing engine speed by
pressing the foot throttle further down, then release the
inching pedal. The transmission will automatically select
a lower gear (provided 10th. gear is not already
selected) to match the higher engine speed.

AUTO SHIFT - Figure 87


Auto shift controls automatic speed shifting through
forward gears 10 - 18.

Auto shift can be engaged by depressing, then

and above at engine speeds of 1600 RPM or more.

When AUTO shift is engaged, the LCD digital display


will display an ‘A’ for AUTO (2) and show the gear
selected (3).

When in AUTO shift, the tractor will automatically


select higher gears whenever the engine speed
exceeds exceeds a predetermined speed. It will
select lower gears when the engine speed drops
below a predetermined speed.

To disengage AUTO shift and return to normal


shifting, depress the AUTO switch, then shift up or 2- 83
down with the shift control lever. 87

OPERATION

PROGRAMMABLE UP- SHIFT/DOWN- SHIFT

Figure 88
The transmission can be programmed to up- shift or
down- shift 1, 2, or 3 gears when the switch (1) is
activated. This feature allows the operator to shift up
or down a predetermined number of gears on row
ends then return to the original gear when returning
to work.

The programmable down- shift should be used to


reduce speeds in the field for crossing rough terrain
or climbing steep inclines.
88
The up- shift/down- shift rocker switch (1) is located
beside the 3-point hitch fast raise/work switch (2).
See ‘3-Point Hitch Hydraulic Controls’. The use of
these features together allows quick turn around at
the end of the field.

Up- Shift - Figure 89


Up- shift is activated by depressing then releasing the
front of the switch. The transmission will automatically
shift up the preprogrammed number of gears. The
EIC dash Up- Shift lamp (1) will illuminate and the new
gear ratio will be displayed as shifts are completed.

To return to the original gear ratio, depress then


release the rear of the switch. The Up- Shift lamp will
go out and the tractor will shift down to the original
gear.
89

Down- Shift - Figure 89


Down- shift is activated by depressing then releasing
the rear of the switch. The transmission will auto-
matically shift down the predetermined number of
gears and the EIC Down Shift lamp (2) will illuminate
and the new gear ratio will be displayed as shifts are
completed.

To return to the original gear ratio, depress then


release the front of the switch. The Down- Shift lamp
will go out and the transmission will shift up to the
original gear.

NOTE: The programmable up- shift, down- shift fea-


ture only functions in forward gears. The pro-
grammed change in gear ratios will occur whenever
the front or rear of the rocker switch is depressed.

OPERATION

PROGRAMMING REVERSE GEAR RATIOS


When changing from forward to reverse, the trans-
mission will normally select the same ratio in reverse
as was selected for forward travel (when operating in
gears between 2nd. and 10th.). For special shuttle
shift applications, Powershift offers the advantage of
automatically changing the reverse gear ratio up to
three ratios higher or lower than the engaged forward
gear ratio. The transmission may also be pro-
grammed to always select the lowest reverse gear
(R2).

Figure 92
To programme an alternative reverse gear, proceed
as follows:

• Turn the key-start switch off.

• Move the control lever to the reverse position,


then hold the lever to the right.

• While holding the lever to the right, turn on the


key-start switch (but do not start the engine).
Release the control lever after 5 seconds. The
digital display should show ‘0’ (unless the
transmission has previously been programmed to
select a higher or lower reverse gear.)

Figure 93 92
To programme a higher ratio:

• From the reverse position, nudge the lever to the


right one, two or three times, as required. The
display will show ‘1’, ‘2’ or ‘3’. This indicates that
when reverse is selected the gear will be one, two
or three ratios higher than the forward gear ratio.

Figure 93
To programme a lower ratio:

• From the reverse position, nudge the lever to the


left one, two or three times, the display will show
‘- 1’, ‘- 2’ or ‘- 3’. This indicates that when reverse
is selected the gear will be one, two or three ratios
lower than the forward gear. 93

46
SECTION 2

Figure 93 (continued)
To programme the lowest gear:

• Nudge the lever to the left a fourth time, an ‘L’ will


be displayed. This means that whichever forward
ratio is engaged, when the lever is moved
rearward the lowest reverse ratio (2nd.) will
always be selected regardless of forward gear
ratio.

To cancel the programme:

From the reverse position, nudge the lever to the right


until ‘0’ is displayed.

NOTE: Remember that only reverse gears between


2nd. and 10th. are available.

To exit the programme:

• Turn the key-start switch off. The transmission is


now programmed.

REMOTE CONTROL VALVES

HYDRAULIC SYSTEMS INTRODUCTION


WARNING: Hydraulic oil escaping under
pressure can penetrate the skin causing
serious injury.

• Use a piece of cardboard or paper, instead of your


hand, to search for leaks.

• Stop the engine and relieve pressure before


connecting or disconnecting lines.

110
• 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.

Two different types of hydraulic remote control valve


systems are used:

STANDARD FLOW SYSTEM


The standard flow system consists of a single axial
piston pump which supplies fluid to a hydraulic
steering flow divider and remote control valve assem-
bly. The pump is rated at 26 Imp. galls/min (117
litres/min).

MEGAFLOW SYSTEM - Figure 110


The MegaFlow system consists of two axial piston
pumps which supply fluid to the high pressure
hydraulic system. The system has a total flow rating
of 46 Imp. galls/min (208 litres/min). The remote
control valve assembly is divided internally into two
separate systems.

The MegaFlow system offers increased flow and dual

OPERATION

REMOTE CONTROL VALVES - Figure 111


Remote control valves are available to operate
external hydraulic cylinders, motors, etc. Up to four
remote control valves may be installed. The valves
are located at the rear of the tractor.

Tractors with a standard hydraulic system can be


equipped with two, three or four remote valves.
MegaFlow tractors will be equipped with four remote
valves as standard.

The lower control valve (1) Figure 111, has priority


over the remaining valves. Load check-valves are
installed in the ‘extend’ port of the lower two control
valves. 111

Standard Flow System


After valve No. I has been satisfied, priority goes to
the 3- point hydraulic lift, then in a descending order
to valves, IV, III and II (where fitted).

Megaflow System
After valve No. I has been satisfied, priority goes to
valve II. The oil from the Megaflow pump satisfies the
3- point hydraulic lift, then in a descending order to
valves, IV and III. Priority is affected by the flow
control valve settings. See ‘Flow Control Adjustment’
later in this section.

NOTE: The total system flow is not available to


operate any one single hydraulic circuit. The maxi-
mum available flow from any one remote valve is 20.5
Imp. galls/min (93 litres/min). 112

CONTROL VALVE LEVERS - Figure 112


The valves are operated by levers on the right-hand
console. The number on each control lever shown in
Figure 112 corresponds to the number on the valve in
Figure 111 that each lever controls. In addition, each
lever and it’s corresponding valve are colour coded:

Lever/valve I Green
Lever/valve II Blue
Lever/valve III Brown
Lever/valve IV Grey

Rotary lockout gates (6) are provided for each lever.

Figure - 113
The remote control valve operating levers have four
positions: neutral, extend, retract, and float. 113

60
SECTION 2

Pull the lever back from the neutral position (1) to the
‘extend’ (raise) position (2). From neutral, push
forward to the ‘retract’ (lower) position (3). Push the
lever fully forward to the float position (4). Float will
permit the cylinder to extend or retract allowing
equipment such as scraper blades to ‘float’ or follow
the ground contour.

The ‘float’ position is also used for retracting a


single-acting cylinder and for the OFF position when
operating hydraulic motors.

The extend and retract positions are identified by


symbols on a decal adjacent to the control levers.
114
An adjustable pressure release detent will hold the
lever in the selected extend or retract position until the
remote cylinder reaches the end of its stroke, then the
control lever will automatically return to neutral. The
lever may also be returned to neutral manually. The
lever will not return automatically to neutral from the
float position.

NOTE: Do not hold or fasten the lever in the extend


or retract position after a remote cylinder has reached
the end of its stroke. This will overheat the oil and may
lead to failure of hydraulic and driveline components.

ROTARY LOCKOUT GATES


Each control lever has a lockout gate operated by a
thumbwheel. The gate can prevent or limit travel of
the control lever to:

• Prevent movement from neutral


115
• Lockout float

• Lockout raise and neutral (for hydraulic motor


operations).

Figure 114
With the gate (1) rotated full clockwise, the control
lever is locked in the neutral position (2).

Figure 115
Rotate the gate one notch anti-clockwise and the
lever can be positioned in the retract (1), neutral (2)
or extend (3) positions. Float is locked out.

Figure 116
Rotate the gate one more notch anti-clockwise and
the lever can travel through all positions. 116

61
OPERATION

Figure 117
Rotate the gate further anti-clockwise to the last notch
to lock out neutral and extend positions. This notch
allows operation of hydraulic motors.

NOTE: Do not manually restrain a lever to override


the detent release for continuous operation or
excessive noise and detent damage may occur.

FLOW CONTROL ADJUSTMENT - Figure 118


Each control valve has a flow control valve to meter
oil flow. The flow controls are mounted on the cab
frame at the rear window opening. Each control is 117
actuated by a knob and controls flow up to the
maximum output at any one valve of 20 Imp. galls/min
(91 litres/min).

Turn the flow control knob anti-clockwise, toward the


wider portion of the decal (5), to increase the rate of
oil flow. Turn the knob clockwise, toward the narrow
portion of the decal, to decrease rate of flow.

NOTE: The flow control valves become harder to turn


as the hydraulic system hydraulic pressure
increases. Move the control valve lever to neutral to
reduce the effort required to turn the flow control knob.

Each decal is colour coded for identification with the


valve it controls.

PRESSURE RELEASE DETENT ADJUSTMENT - 118


Figure 119
Each valve has a detent adjustment screw (1) that
may be adjusted to vary the system pressure required
to return the control lever automatically to the neutral
position.

The adjustment screws are located on the left-hand


side of each valve.

To adjust, loosen the lock nut (2) and turn the screw
(1) in (clockwise) to increase detent release
pressure. Turn the screw out (anti-clockwise) to
decrease pressure. A flow meter should be used to
slowly raise system pressure to accurately set each
detent. It is recommended that this adjustment be
carried out by your authorised dealer.

NOTE: The factory pressure release detent


adjustment setting is 2250 lbf. in 2 (155 bar). 119

62
SECTION 2

WARNING: Before connecting or discon-


necting hydraulic hoses at the remote cylin-
ders, stop the engine and relieve the pressure in the
circuit by moving the remote control valve lever(s) ful-
ly forward to the ‘float’ position. Make sure that oil con-
tained within the remote cylinders is clean and is of
the correct grade. Make sure no one will be injured by
moving equipment when relieving pressure in the
system. Before disconnecting cylinders or equip-
ment, make sure the equipment or implement is sup-
ported securely.

WARNING: Never work under equipment 120


supported by a hydraulic device because it
may drop if the control is actuated (even with the en-
gine stopped) or in the event of hose failure, etc. Al-
ways use a secure support for equipment which must
be serviced while in the raised position.

LOW PRESSURE RETURN CIRCUIT - Figure 120


A low pressure return circuit is available by removing
the 11/16- 12 threaded plug (1) and installing a coupler
(2). The low pressure return circuit will reduce back
pressure in the remote hydraulic return line which will
result in more efficient hydraulic motor operation. The
return circuit can also be used in applications where
low return oil pressure is desired to improve imple-
ment operation such as orbital motor case drain lines.

SECTION 2

BLEEDING REMOTE CYLINDERS


When connecting a cylinder with trapped air, i.e., a
new cylinder, one that has been out of service or one
that has had the hoses disconnected, it will be
necessary to bleed the cylinder to remove the air.

With the hoses connected to the remote control valve


couplers at the rear of the tractor, position the cylinder
with the hose end uppermost and extend and retract
the cylinder seven or eight times using the remote
control valve operating lever. Check the rear axle oil
level before and after operating the remote cylinder.
122

WARNING: Do not operate the tractor until


you are thoroughly accustomed with the
location and operation of all controls.

THREE-POINT HITCH HYDRAULIC


CONTROLS

INTRODUCTION
The electro-hydraulic three-point hitch control
system employs electronic switches and a
microcomputer to control the hydraulic system which
123
raises and lowers the 3-point linkage.

CONTROLS - Figure 122


The electro-hydraulic three-point hitch control
system is operated from a console to the right of the
operator’s seat. The console houses the lift control
lever (1) and rotary control knobs (2) through (5)

An adjustable lift control lever stop (2) is located to the


right of the lift lever. The stop sets the lower or upper

OPERATION

POSITION/DRAFT SENSITIVITY CONTROL


KNOB - Figure 124
The position/draft sensitivity knob (1) is used to select
draft control, position control or a combination of the
two in order to make the system more or less sensitive
to changes in the draft loading. A decal encircling the
knob has six numbered positions to indicate the
degree of sensitivity selected. Turn the position/draft
sensitivity knob towards the full position control
setting (position 1) to decrease the system’s
response to a change in draft loading. The knob is
detented at the position control setting (knob fully
anti-clockwise).
124
Whenever draft control is selected, implement
operating depth will automatically vary to maintain a
constant load on the engine. If precise depth control
is required, use the full position control setting.

IMPORTANT: Always set the position/draft sensitivity


knob to the full position control setting (position 1) at
any time when not actually operating in draft control,
such as when attaching equipment, transporting
equipment or when no equipment is attached.

DROP RATE CONTROL KNOB - Figure 125


The drop rate control knob (1) controls the speed at
which the lower links and implement drop during a
lowering cycle. This knob also has a decal encircling 125
it with six numbered positions. Position 1 is the
slowest rate and is denoted by a ‘tortoise’ symbol.
Position 6 is the fastest setting, denoted by a ‘hare’
symbol.

HEIGHT LIMIT CONTROL KNOB - Figure 125


The height limit control knob (2) limits the height that
the linkage may be raised. Adjust this knob to avoid
the possibility of a large implement damaging the
tractor cab when fully raised.

Turning the knob fully anti-clockwise prevents the


3-point hitch from raising above mid height. Turning
the knob fully clockwise will allow the 3-point hitch to
raise to full height.

126
The status light (1) serves two purposes:

• A steady light signifies ‘hitch disabled’. The ‘hitch


disabled’ warning is also duplicated on the instru-
ment panel as an LCD symbol (1) Figure 127.

• A flashing light means that there is a malfunction


in the 3- point hitch system circuits.
126

Should a malfunction occur, consult your authorised


dealer.

HITCH STATUS LCD SYMBOLS - Figure 127


The ‘hitch disabled’ LCD symbol (1) and warning light,
signifies that the lift control lever position does not cor-
respond to the position of the lower links. The lower
link cannot be moved until the hitch is ‘captured’.

The ‘hitch disabled’ warning will display if:

• The lift control lever was inadvertently moved with


the engine stopped.

• When control of the hydraulic power lift has been


transferred to the external switches.

• The 3-point hitch arm position changed with the


engine stopped.

NOTE: To ‘capture the hitch’ and put the lift control le-
ver back in phase with the lower links, proceed as fol-
lows: 127

OPERATION

HITCH STATUS LCD SYMBOLS - Figure 128


1. Depress the front of the fast raise/work switch.

2. Pull the position control lever fully rearward.

3. Slowly move the position control lever forward


until the status light goes out and the ‘hitch
enabled’ symbol (3) appears.

The ‘hitch enabled’ symbol (3) is displayed to advise


the operator when the three- point linkage is in phase 128
with the lift control lever. In the event of the 3- point
linkage/lift control lever becoming out of phase with
one another, this symbol will disappear and the ‘hitch
disabled’ symbol (1) will display.

The digital display (2) on the instrument panel indi-


cates the position of the lower links over a scale of ‘0’
to ‘99’. A display of ‘0’ indicates that the links are fully
lowered and a display of ‘99’ indicates that they are
fully raised.

FAST RAISE/WORK SWITCH - Figure 129


The fast raise/work switch (1) allows the operator to
rapidly raise the implement to the position set by the
height limit control and to lower the implement back
down to the position set by the lift control lever, without
disturbing these settings.

This feature allows the operator to raise the


implement at the headland and return the implement
to the same operating conditions.

To raise the implement, press the rear of the switch.


Press the front of the switch to lower the implement to
the work position.

NOTE: The fast raise/work switch should be switched


to the raise position when transporting equipment.
The fast raise/work switch is also used to recapture
the hitch after using the external fender switches. 129

SECTION 2

SLIP LIMIT CONTROL KNOB (where fitted) - Fig-


ure 130
The slip limit control knob (1) is available only with the
optional radar sensor unit. It allows the operator to
select a wheel slip limit above which the implement
will raise until wheel slip is below the preset level. The
slip override lamp (2) is illuminated whenever the slip
exceeds the preset threshold and remains on until the
slip is reduced. The knob is detented at the ‘Off’
position (knob fully clockwise).

A digital display of wheel slip, and a slip alarm may be


programmed into the electronic instrument panel.
See ‘Electronic Instrument Cluster Programming’.
130
NOTE: Slip limit control will not operate below 0.5
MPH (0.8 km/h). Slip limit control will disengage when
the 3- point linkage is raised and re-engage when the
implement is lowered into the ground.

FIELD OPERATION - Figure 131


After attaching an implement to the three-point hitch,
adjust the height limit control knob (2) to prevent large
implements from damaging the tractor cab. Adjust the
drop rate control knob (3) to set the desired rate at
which the implement will drop when the hitch is
lowered.

To set the height limit control, proceed as follows:

• Turn the height limit control knob (2) fully


anti-clockwise which will allow the hitch to raise to
one-half its full height. 131

• Pull the lift control lever (1) fully to the rear.

• Slowly turn the height limit control knob (2)


clockwise to raise the implement until at least 4 in.
(100 mm) clearance remains between the tractor
and implement (or the maximum hitch height is
reached).

Adjust the rate of implement drop by rotating the drop


rate knob (3). Turn the knob clockwise to speed up the
drop rate or anti-clockwise to slow down the drop rate.

IMPORTANT: When first setting the implement up for


work, keep the drop rate control knob in the slow drop
position (‘tortoise’ symbol).

NOTE: The drop rate control only affects the lower


link/implement drop rate when the implement is not
engaging the ground.

69
OPERATION

POSITION CONTROL OPERATION - Figure 132


To operate in position control, use the 3-point hitch lift
control lever (1) Figure 132. Pull the lever rearward to
raise the 3-point hitch and push the lever forward to
lower the hitch. The EIC hitch position display (2) Fig-
ure 128, will show the hitch position.

NOTE: The full position control setting is not recom-


mended for soil-engaging implements.

132

Use the lift control lever (1) Figure 132, to set the re-
quired implement working height. Once the required im-
plement working height has been established, there is
no need to move the lift control lever again until the work
is completed. Upon reaching the headland, use the
raise/work switch to raise and lower the implement.

When the required implement height has been


established, loosen the knob on the adjustable lift
control lever stop (5) Figure 132 and move it so that
it is against the front edge of the lift control lever.
Re-tighten the knob. Whenever the lift control lever is
pulled rearwards to raise the implement, the

OPERATION

EXTERNAL 3-POINT HITCH CONTROLS Fig-


ure 133
WARNING: Before using the external 3-point
hitch control switches, ensure that no person
or object is in the area of the implement or three-point
linkage. Never operate the external switches while
standing:

• Directly behind the tractor.

• Between the lower links.

• On or near the implement.


133
Only operate switches while standing in the hatched
areas shown in Figure 133.

An external push-button switch (1) is provided on


each rear fender. The switches are spring-loaded to
return to the off position.

EXTERNAL SWITCHES - Figure 134


Before leaving the tractor to operate the external
switches:

1. Apply the parking brake.

NOTE: The external switches can only function if the


handbrake is applied.

2. Move the powershift control lever to neutral. 134

3. Disengage the PTO.

4. Move the hand throttle lever to the low idle position


(fully rearwards). Get out of the cab and press the
upper part (1) or lower part (2) of the external switch.
This will transfer control of the hydraulic power lift to
the rear fenders switches. The lift disabled symbol will
be displayed and the hitch status light will be
illuminated.

WARNING: Never extend arms, legs, any


part of the body or any object into the area
near the three-point linkage or implement while oper-
ating the external switch. Never have an assistant
working the opposite set of controls. When moving to
the opposite set of controls, move around the tractor
or implement. Do not cross between the implement
and tractor.

72
SECTION 2

Only activate the external switches while standing to


the side of the tractor as shown in, Figure 133.

Pressing the upper part of the switch (1) Figure 134,


causes the lift linkage to raise. Pressing the lower part
(2) causes the linkage to lower. Operate the switch
until the lower links align with the implement then re-
lease the switch and attach the implement to the three
point linkage in the normal manner.

NOTE: Operation of fender switches causes the hitch


to move at a slower, controlled rate.
135

FAST RAISE/WORK SWITCH - Figure 135


To transfer control back to the lift control lever:

1. Press the rear of the fast raise/work switch (1)


Figure 135, then press the front of the switch.

2. Push the lift control lever fully forward then move


the lever slowly rearwards to ‘capture’ the hitch. The
hitch enabled symbol will display, indicating that the

LIFT RODS - Figure 137


WARNING: Before disconnecting a lift rod
from the lower link. Lower attached equip-
ment to the ground and make sure the hydraulic con-
trol lever is fully down.

Stop the engine. Make sure attached equipment is


correctly supported before removing the lift rod
securing pin.

To adjust either lift rod (1) raise the adjusting handle


(2) and rotate it to lengthen or shorten the lift rod 137
assembly. To prevent rotation of the adjusting handle,
slip it down to engage on the locking pin (3) on the lift
rod end. For most implements adjust both lift rods so
the centres of the lower link balls are 10 in. (254 mm)
above the ground when the hitch is fully lowered.
Adjust the lift rods to level the equipment in the
operating position.

LOWER LINK FLOAT - Figure 138

Rigid Position
Both lift rods (3) have a lock plate (3) installed in the
clevis (1). If the lock plate is installed horizontally, the
3-point hitch will not have vertical float.
138

Float Position - Figure 139


If the lock plates are rotated to the vertical position (3),
the lower links (4) will be allowed to float up and down
by 1.5in (40 mm). This will allow an implement vertical
movement independent of the tractor.

139

74
SECTION 2

TOP LINK - Figure 140


The top link is adjusted by turning the sleeve (2) after
raising the handle/locking latch (3). To prevent further
rotation of the sleeve, push the handle/latch down to
engage in either of the two slots (1) in the threaded
end of the top link assembly.

Most equipment will operate at the proper height


when the link is adjusted to 28.5 in. (724 mm) mea-
sured between the centre of the attaching points. Re-
adjust to level the equipment, as required.
140

When not in use, the top link can be removed and


stored, or left in a vertical position and retained by the
transport hanger (3) Figure 136.

FLEXIBLE LINK ENDS (where fitted) - Figure 141

Attaching Position
Pull the lock pin (1) to release the link end (2) from the
lower link (3). Extend the link ends to make connect-
ing to the implement easier.

141

Operating Position - Figure 142


Secure the link ends to the equipment, then carefully
inch the tractor rearwards until the flexible link ends
(1) lock in the closed position and the lock pins (2)
lock in place.

Attach the top link after flexible ends are locked in the
lower links.

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. 142

75
OPERATION

SWAY BLOCKS (where fitted) - Figures 143 and


144
The sway blocks control lower link sideways
movement in both the transport and operating
position to prevent the equipment swaying from side
to side. This is especially important when operating
on slopes or near fences, walls or ditches.

The sway blocks can be mounted in a rigid or sway


position.

The sway blocks (1) Figure 143, are pivoted at the top
and locked in one of two positions by means of the 143
pins (2) that pass through one of a pair of holes in the
drawbar hanger. The pins are secured by ‘R’ clips (3).

NOTE: The pins must always be installed so that the


clips are on the inside of the drawbar support.

Rigid Position - Figure 143


To prevent side movement of the equipment in both
the operating and transport positions, remove the ‘R’
clips (3) and pins (2) and swivel the sway blocks (1)
forward to the ‘rigid’ position. Secure in the ‘rigid’ posi-
tion (forward hole) by means of the pins and ‘R’ clips.

Sway Position - Figure 144


When it is desirable to have sideways movement of
the equipment in the operating position, but remain
rigid in the transport position, swivel the sway blocks
(1) rearward to the ‘sway’ position. Secure in the
‘sway’ position (rear hole) by means of the pins (2)
and ‘R’ clips (3).

IMPORTANT: When setting the sway blocks to


provide side-to-side movement, ensure that there is
no possibility of the rear tyres contacting the sway
blocks, lower links or implement.

WARNING: Never operate steerable


equipment unless the sway blocks are
installed and correctly adjusted to prevent excessive
lateral movement. 144

76
SECTION 2

GUIDE BLOCKS, SPACERS AND SHIMS


The guide blocks and spacers can be positioned so
the 3-point hitch will accept category II, category III N
or category III implements.

Shims are available to adjust the amount of lateral


movement between the sway blocks and the lower
links when the hitch is in the raised (transport) posi-
tion or when the sway blocks are in the rigid position.
See Figure 145 and Figure 146 for shim locations.

Category II or Category III N Position - Figure 145


Install the guide blocks (1) on the inside of the lower
links.

If necessary, adjust by placing an equal amount of


shims (2) on each lower link. Shim so the linkage can
be fully raised and lowered without binding when an
implement is attached. The adjustment must be made
with the sway blocks in the rigid position.

Category III Position - Figure 146


Position the guide blocks (1) and spacer (2) on the in-
side of the lower links. 145

If necessary, adjust by placing an equal amount of


shims (3) on each lower link. Shim so the linkage can
be fully raised and lowered without binding when an
implement is attached. The adjustment must be made
with the sway blocks in the rigid position.

LINKAGE CATEGORY CONVERSION


Tractors are equipped with Category III linkage. To
convert from Category III to Category II, bushings
may be inserted into the top link and lower link
implement connections. The guide blocks and
spacers must be repositioned, as previously
described. 146

77
OPERATION

WALTERSCHEID STABILISERS (where fitted) -


Figures 147 and 148
Walterscheid telescopic stabilisers may be fitted in
place of the sway blocks described previously.

WARNING: Never operate steerable equip-


ment unless the stabilisers are installed and
correctly adjusted to prevent excessive lateral move-
ment.

The stabilisers will control the sway of the lower links


and attached equipment when in work or when being
transported. This is especially important when
operating on slopes or near fences, walls or ditches
147
and with certain implements. Check your Implement
Operator’s Manual.

Figure 147
Each stabiliser consists of a telescopic tube
assembly internally threaded at the rear end. The
tube assembly is attached to a mounting bracket
bolted to the outer ends of the rear axle housing.

An externally threaded rod (3) is attached to the lower


links. The threaded rod engages with the screwed
thread in the tube assembly and the overall length of
the assembly is determined by screwing the rod in or
out, as required.

An adjustable chain (4) is attached, at one end, to


the rear fender and at the other end, via a spring, to
a hinged cover (1) on the telescopic part of the
stabiliser. A lug (2) on the telescopic part of the 148
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 swaying.

However, when the 3- point hitch is lowered into the Adjusting the Stabilisers
work position, the chain becomes taut and lifts the
cover from the stabiliser allowing it to telescope freely. Figure 148
The stabilisers (and implement) will then sway when In practice, the implement should be attached to the

78
SECTION 2

Lift the locking/adjusting lever (2) up over the peg (1)


so that the lever is at right-angles to the stabiliser.
Turn the telescopic section, by means of the lever, so
that the threaded section (3) screws into or out of the
stabiliser. When the length is satisfactory, i.e., the
notch in the cover aligns with the lug on the stabiliser,
lower the lever back down over the peg and close the
cover.

The chain should then be adjusted, by placing the


appropriate link over the attaching hook, so that the
cover on the stabiliser is lifted when the implement is
lowered into work.

IMPORTANT: When setting the stabiliser length to


provide sway, ensure that there is no possibility of the
rear tyres fouling the stabilisers or lower links.

WALTERSCHEID HITCH (where fitted)


The Walterscheid hitch consists of a pair of lower links
and an adjustable top link, all of which 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 tractor
linkage to the implement.

The stabilisers maintain the lower links at the width


setting required for the implement to be coupled.

Figure 149
149
The ball- bushings supplied with the quick- coupler kit
should be installed on the implement. The ball-
bushings with guide cones (2) should be installed on the
lower hitch pins. The plain ball- bushing (1) should be
installed on the upper hitch pin.

Coupling Implement to Tractor - Figure 150


Using the stabilisers or sway blocks, set the tractor
lower links the correct distance apart to align with the
two lower ball- bushings installed on the implement.

With the lower links fully lowered, the self- locking


latches closed and the top link raised, reverse the
tractor until the lower link claw couplers (2) are
beneath the implement hitch pins. The combination of
large claw openings and guide cones on the
implement ball- bushes make accurate alignment of
tractor to implement unnecessary. 150

79
OPERATION

Raise the lower links using the hydraulic lift lever 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 (1) onto the upper implement
ball- bush and press down until the latch is heard to
engage. If necessary, turn the sleeve on the top link
to increase or decrease top link length to suit.

pins, move the tow pin assembly to the required
height within the frame, re-insert the retaining pins
and secure with the linch pins.

To attach a trailer drawbar to the tow pin, remove the


securing clip from the lower end of the tow pin (2) and
lift out the pin. Re-insert the tow pin so that it passes
153
through the eye of the trailer drawbar.

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. The static downward
load on the tow pin must not exceed the rating shown
on the plate affixed to the tow hitch frame or the rear
tyre load capacity, whichever is lower. (See Rear Tyre
Pressures and Loads in Section 5).

Fixed Tow Pin (Piton) - Figure 154


An optional fixed, central tow pin (piton) may be
provided at the bottom of the assembly in some
versions.

To prevent the trailer drawbar eye from lifting off the


tow pin, an ‘L’-shaped, pivoting lock bar is installed.

To attach a trailer to the piton, extract the linch pin (4)


from the horizontal securing pin (1) and remove the
securing pin. Pivot the lock bar (2) upwards and lower
the eye of the trailer drawbar over the piton (3). Lower
the lock bar over the piton and replace the securing
pin and linch pin. The lock bar will ensure that the
trailer cannot become accidentally detached from the
piton.

NOTE: The static downward load on the lower, fixed


tow pin (piton) must not exceed the rating shown on
the plate affixed to the tow hitch frame or the rear tyre
load capacity, whichever is lower. (See Rear Tyre
Pressures and Loads in Section 5). 154

OPERATION

Height Adjustable Tow Pin - Figures 155 and 156


The two tow hitches shown are both equipped with a
height adjustable tow pin, adjustable as follows:

To raise or lower the tow pin assembly, grasp the


handles (1) and squeeze them together to release the
locking mechanism. Lift or lower the complete tow pin
assembly (2). When at the required height, release the
handles to lock the assembly in the nearest notch in the
carrier (3).

To attach a trailer drawbar to the upper tow pin shown


in Figure 155, remove the securing clip from the tow 155
pin (4) and lift out. Re-insert the tow pin so that it
passes through the eye of the trailer drawbar.
Replace the securing clip.

Swivelling Tow Pin - Figure 157


A swivelling, upper tow pin is available in certain
countries.

The tow pin (3) 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
spring-loaded tow pin up into it’s housing.

NOTE: The levers (1) and (5) are connected. A cable


may be attached to the lever (5) to permit trailer
attachment without the operator leaving the cab. 156

The pin will stay in the raised position until the trailer
drawbar is located beneath it. The eye of the drawbar
will contact a trip lever which will cause the pin to drop
down into the engaged position. Alternatively, the tow
pin will drop down into the engaged position if the
lever (2) is pushed forward.

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.

The tow pin may be allowed to swivel after loosening


the socket-headed screw (4) on the left-hand side of
the tow pin housing. This feature will permit a trailer
with a non-swivelling drawbar to articulate relative to
the towing tractor. 157

84
SECTION 2

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. The static downward
load on the tow pin must not exceed the rating shown
on the plate affixed to the tow hitch frame or the rear
tyre load capacity, whichever is lower. (See Rear Tyre
Pressures and Loads in Section 5).

SWINGING DRAWBAR - Figure 158


The swinging drawbar may be fixed in any one of five
positions (three positions, if the drawbar is part of the
158
rear tow hitch assembly) or allowed to swing the full
width of the hanger.

Fasten the drawbar (1) in position using the swing


limiter pins (2) when pulling equipment which requires
accurate positioning and when transporting equipment.

Allow the drawbar to swing when pulling ground engag-


ing equipment which does not require accurate posi-
tioning. This will make steering and turning easier.

DRAWBAR HITCH PIN RETAINER - Figure159


The drawbar is equipped with a hitch pin retainer.
When the retainer is in position (1) the hitch pin is
latched in place.
159

To remove or install the hitch pin, pull the front of the


retainer up to the unlatched position (2) and remove
or install the hitch pin. Release the retainer and en-
sure it returns to the latched position when the pin is
installed.

WARNING: Always secure the drawbar to

When using ground engaging equipment, the wide
swinging roller drawbar offers additional turning ease
as compared to the swinging drawbar.

Secure the drawbar (1) with the swing limiter pins (2)
when using equipment which requires accurate
positioning and when transporting equipment.

Insert the swing limiter pins in alternative holes (or


remove altogether) to allow the drawbar to swing when
pulling ground engaging equipment that does not 164
require accurate positioning. This will make steering
and turning easier.

NOTE: When the tractor is equipped with the wide


swinging drawbar, the hydraulic 3-point lift linkage
must be removed.

WARNING: Always secure the drawbar to


prevent swinging when transporting
equipment or when operating any equipment except
ground engaging equipment. Always use the drawbar
or lower links in the lowered position for pull-type
work.

NOTE: When supporting equipment on the roller


drawbar, the static downward load on the drawbar
must not exceed 4050 lb. (1837 kg) or the rear tyre
load capacity, whichever is the lower. See ‘Rear Tyre

Clean the outer element when the restriction indicator
light on the instrument console illuminates. Perform
service within one hour of operation after the indicator
lights.

IMPORTANT: Clean the outer element only when the


restriction light illuminates. Cleaning the filter too fre- 10
quently will decrease the service life of the filter.

To service the filter:

1. Unscrew the wing nut (1) and remove the outer


cover (2). The wing nut is attached to the cover.
See Figure 10.

2. Unscrew the wing nut (1) and remove the outer


filter element (2). See Figure 11.

IMPORTANT: Do not remove or disturb the inner ele-


ment (3).

3. Examine the inside of the outer element. If dust is


present, the outer element is defective and must
be replaced.
11

4. Clean the outer element using either method A, B,


or C, depending on the element’s condition

Methods A or B should be used for dry dust.

Method C should be used if the element is sooty, oily


or heavily contaminated, or after cleaning the element
six times using methods A or B.

Method A
Lightly tap the ends of the element against the palm
of the hand. See Figure 12.

IMPORTANT: Do not tap the element against a hard


surface as this damages the element. 12

SECTION 3

Method B
Use compressed air, not exceeding 30 lbf/in2 (2 bar).
Insert the air line nozzle inside the element. Hold the
nozzle 6 in. (150 mm) from the element and blow the
dust from the inside through the element to the
outside. See Figure 13.

WARNING: Wear eye protection and a face


mask when carrying out this operation.

13

Method C
Immerse the element in warm water containing a
small amount of non-sudsing detergent. Allow to soak
for at least 15 minutes. Keep the open end of the
element above the water line. See Figure 14.

IMPORTANT: Never use fuel oil, gasoline, solvent or


water hotter than the hand can stand, otherwise the
filter element may be damaged.

After soaking, agitate the element in the water, taking 14


care not to allow dirty water outside the element to
splash over to the inside.

Rinse the element with clean, running water. Rinse


from the inside of the element through to the outside
until the water is free of dirt. If a hose is used, do not
exceed 30 lbf/in2 (2 bar). A gentle trickle of water is
sufficient and will ensure that the element is not

LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE

NOTE: It usually takes one to three days for a filter


element to dry.

IMPORTANT: Do not attempt to dry the element with


heat or compressed air and do not install until thor-
oughly dry as it may rupture. It is recommended that
a new or previously cleaned element be installed at
this service and the washed element put aside for
installation at the next service. The spare element
should be stored in a dry place and wrapped to pre-
vent dust contamination or damage.

16
NOTE: An outer filter element may be washed up to
six times.

5. Examine the element for damage by placing a


light inside the element. See Figure 16. Discard
the element if pin pricks of light can be seen or if
there are areas where the paper appears thin.

6. Check the element material for bunching; the


metal casing for distortion and the rubber gasket
for damage. Discard the filter element if it is
damaged.

7. Clean the inside of the air cleaner housing using a


damp, lint-free cloth on a probe. Do not damage
the inner filter element.

8. Install a cleaned or a new outer element. Tighten


the wing nut.

NOTE: Replace the wing nut seal if it is damaged.

CHANGE ENGINE COOLANT FILTER/-


CONDITIONER - Figure 79
A replaceable coolant filter/conditioner is installed on
the tractor. The filter/conditioner canister contains a
filter element and a conditioner in the form of a paste.
As coolant flows through the filter, the paste dissolves
and mixes with the coolant to provide optimum engine
corrosion protection.

The conditioner in the filter will:

• Increase rust prevention. 79

• Reduce scale formation.

• Minimise cylinder wall erosion (pitting).

• Reduce foaming of the coolant.

As the conditioner works and protects the system, it


gradually loses its strength and must be replenished.
Replacing the filter at the specified interval ensures
maximum protection.

PREPARATION FOR TRACTOR STORAGE


PREPARING THE TRACTOR FOR USE AFTER
Before storing the tractor at the end of the season or STORAGE
for an extended period, the following precautions
Before placing the tractor in service after an extended
should be taken:
storage period, perform the following:

1. Clean the tractor.


1. Inflate the tyres to the correct pressure and lower
the tractor to the ground.
2. Drain the engine and transmission/rear axle and
refill with clean oil.

2. Refill the fuel tanks.


3. Drain the fuel tanks and pour approximately two
gallons of special calibrating fuel into the tank.
Run the engine for at least 10 minutes to ensure 3. Check the radiator coolant level.

to disperse the coolant throughout the system.

6. Remove the exhaust pipe covering.


5. Using the tractor hydraulic system in Position
Control, raise the lift linkage and support the lift
arms in the raised position.
7. Prime the engine oil system as detailed in steps 9
through 12 of Operation 25.
6. Lubricate all grease fittings and lightly coat all
exposed hydraulic piston rods with petroleum
jelly, e.g., power steering cylinder rams, lift rams,
spool valves, etc. IMPORTANT: Priming the engine oil system provides
lubrication to the turbocharger and engine before
starting which will extend engine life.

monitor (TPM) if a fault has occurred. Fault codes
(2) can be retrieved and view using the procedure
detailed in ‘Electronic Instrument Cluster - Operator
Calibration’ section.

1. Read Your Manual symbol


2. Fault code

Fault codes will be displayed as a flashing three dig- 2


it number preceded by the letter ‘F’. The code will
identify the circuit in which the malfunction has oc-
curred, along with the type of malfunction such as
short circuit, open circuit, etc.

The following chart identifies the system that corre-


sponds to the range of fault code numbers.

NOTE: When operating remote cylinders, the rear axle oil level will be affected. When topping up the rear axle
to accommodate the oil requirement of remote cylinders, no more than 8.4 Imp. gallons (38 litres) should be added
to bring the oil level up to the full mark on the dipstick when all rams are fully extended.

Remote cylinders with a total oil capacity of up to 5 Imp. gallons (23 litres) may be connected to the tractor hydraulic
system without adding oil, provided the tractor is being operated on level ground.

GROUND SPEED
The following charts show the ground speeds in MPH and km/h for all models with 40 km/h transmissions, fitted
with 20.8- 42 tyres. If the rear tyres of your tractor are of a different size, multiply the road speeds shown in the
printed charts by the following conversion factors:

Conversion Factor 0.948 0.938 0.947 1.000 0.943 1.000

Example:
From the following table for the 170 h.p. model with 20.8- 42 tyres - locate the speed for gear ratio F18 at 2100
engine rev/min. - A forward speed of 25.20 MPH is listed.

To calculate the speed with 20.8- 38 rear tyre for the same gear ratio and engine speed use the following formula:

25.20 (MPH) x 0.948 (conversion factor) = 23.89 MPH.

30 km/h Models
Where local regulations restrict the maximum road speed to 30 km/h, the following road speed charts are
applicable up to F16. The tractor will automatically downshift from F17 or F18 if 30 km/h is exceeded.

FOUR WHEEL DRIVE TYRE COMBINATIONS

The tyres fitted to tractors with optional four wheel drive have been carefully selected to match the gearing of the
transmission and axles. When replacing worn or damaged tyres, always install tyres of the same make, model
and size as those removed. The installation of other tyre combinations may result in excessive tyre wear, loss of
useable power or severe damage to driveline components. If in doubt, consult your authorised dealer.

RADIAL TYRE PRESSURES AND PERMISSIBLE LOADS (front and rear tyres)

Radial tyre performance is denoted by a Load Index


and Speed Symbol replacing the Ply Rating
commonly found on cross ply tyres. Figure 1 shows
typical markings to be found on the side wall of radial
ply tyres.

NOTE: All tyres fitted have a Speed symbol ‘A8’ and


are therefore suitable for speeds up to 40km/h (25
MPH).

The maximum load that may be carried by the tyre


is dependent upon the Load Index shown on the 358- 110
side wall. In the following charts the loads given are 1
