slip to less than nine percent, the added weight
will consume more engine power due to the
increased rolling resistance caused by the tyres

REAR POWER TAKEOFF
See the Specifications Section in this manual for general specifications for the power takeoff on your
tractor.
When using power takeoff operated equipment the following rules MUST be followed:
1. On a tractor with a three point hitch, both lift links must be set as specified in the EQUIPMENT
OPERATORS MANUAL.
2. The check chains or stabilizers (as equipped) must be in the RIGID position to limit the lateral
movement of the equipment.
3. The Upper Limit for the hitch maximum lift must be set correctly, see page 116 for instruction on how
to adjust the lift height.
4. Always stop the engine before connecting an implement to the PTO shaft. This releases the tractor
PTO brake and allows the PTO shaft to be turned by hand so that the splines of the tractor and
implement PTO shafts can be aligned.
5. This tractor is equipped with a PTO brake which may be damaged by the continued rotation of high
inertia implements. To prevent damge to the PTO brake, only use implements with an Over-Run
mechanism to make sure that no implement rotation continues against the PTO brake when the PTO
has been switched OFF.
WARNING: This tractor is equipped with a 540, 750 or 1000 rpm PTO. Be sure the implements are
! matched to the tractor PTO SPEEDS. Lock the swinging drawbar in the centre position when using
the PTO.
WARNING: PTO driven implements may fail if operated over the rated speeds. Avoid injury. Limit rpm
! to 600 or less for 540 rpm PTO speed, 800 or less for 750 rpm PTO speed and 1100 or less for 1000
rpm PTO speed.

The PTO is engaged by the clutch lever, located on
the right side console. The PTO is independent of
the transmission and can be operated anytime the
engine is operating. The tractor motion can be
started or stopped in any of the forward or reverse
speeds without affecting the speed of the power

have a qualified tyre mechanic service the tyre.
NOTE: For best tyre life check tyre pressures as
regular intervals. Too low a pressure causes early
tyre wall failure. Too high a pressure causes higher
tread wear or damage.
Check the condition of the tyres and wheels for

wear or damage. Keep the tyres inflated to the
recommended pressures.
NOTE: Cross ply tyres can have the pressure

reduced to increase traction in field work. For
speeds below 16 km/h (10 mph), loads can be
increased by 20%.

12.4 = Nominal tyre width in inches

The performance of a Radial tyre is determined by the Load Index and Speed Code which have replaced
the Ply rating found on Crossply tyres.
The maximum load which can be carried by a tyre is dependant upon the Load Index quoted on the tyre
wall. Charts 1 and 2, on the following page, give a guide to the maximum load a tyre can carry and a
percentage (%) variation depending upon the speed code or travel speed.

ideal. To calculate the LEAD/LAG, use the
following formula:
(RCF xIR) - RCR x 100 = lead

RC

RCF = Rolling Circumference of Front Tyre (Refer

to the Tyre Manufacturers Hand book).
RCR = Rolling Circumference of Rear Tyre (Refer
to the Tyre Manufactures Hand book).
IR = Inter Axle Ratio.
IMPORTANT: To minimize tyre wear, MFD

tractors must have MFD disengaged if the
tractor is going to be run at high speeds and
low loads (roading). This procedure will also
reduce power loss, increase fuel economy and
ride stability.
IMPORTANT: NEVER exceed the load capacity

1. Select the chart corresponding to your transmission type, eg:
XtraShift Transmission
2 Speed Powershift Transmission
Synchromesh (Mechanical) Transmission
2. Using the speeds in the speed charts and the correction factor, (see page 236) calculate the correct speed
for the tyre size (RR = Rolling Radius*) fitted to your tractor.
* The rolling radius given in these speed charts has been taken from the European Tyre & Rim
Technical Organisation (ETRTO) Standards Manual. Due to tyre manufacturer, tyre pressure and
load capacities the rolling radius will vary. For a more accurate dimension carry out the dynamic
procedure found in this manual.
IMPORTANT: The speeds given in the following charts are only approximate and will vary according to make
of tyre, tyre pressure and tyre wear. No allowance has been made for wheel slip.

Speed Chart Adjustment For Alternative Tyres

To calculate the approximate tractor speeds for STEP 3
alternative rear tyre sizes, multiply the speeds in
the correct speed chart for your transmission option
by the correction factor in the chart on the next
page for tyres fitted on your tractor.
Example:
Your tractor (a XtraShift CX85, with a 40 km/h
transmission) is fitted with 16.9R30 rear tyres
and you wish to know what the lowest
possible creeper speed is.
STEP 1
DD98J114
Using the correction factor chart on the next page

find the correction factor for a 16.9R30 rear tyre
(0.90).
STEP 4
Multiply the creeper speed from page 235 by the

correction factor from page 237 to obtain the
correct speed for your tyre fitted.
ie,
DD98J113 0.33 km/h x 0.90 = 0.30 km/h
(0.18 mph)
Find the chart corresponding to your tractor
model and transmission type, (ie. XtraShift -
40km/h, see page 235).
STEP 2
DD98J113
Find the lowest possible creeper speed in this

chart, (0.33 km/h).
