sheet (page 8--3) is your copy of the service
performed. Ensure that you and the dealer sign
both copies.

caused by the use of ‘non--genuine’ parts and
accessories. Only genuine New Holland
replacement parts should be used. The use of
non-genuine parts may invalidate legal approvals

• 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.
1. The cooling system operates under pressure

which is controlled by the expansion tank 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. Never remove the cap
from the top of the radiator unless the expansion
tank pressure cap has first been removed.
2. Do not smoke while refuelling the tractor. Keep

any type of open flame away. • Tighten all connections before starting the
engine or pressurising lines.

DIESEL FUEL
1. Under no circumstances should gasoline,

alcohol or blended fuels be added to diesel fuel.
These combinations can create an increased fire
or explosive hazard. In a closed container such
as a fuel tank these blends are more explosive
than pure gasoline. Do not use these blends.
2. Never remove the fuel cap or refuel with the

engine running or hot.
3. Do not smoke while refuelling the tractor or when

standing near fuel. Keep any type of open flame
away.
4. Maintain control of the fuel filler pipe nozzle when

filling the tank.
5. Do not fill the fuel tank to capacity. Fill only to the

bottom of the filler neck to allow room for
expansion.
6. Wipe up spilled fuel immediately.
7. Always tighten the fuel tank cap securely.
8. If the original fuel tank cap is lost, replace it with

an approved cap. A non--approved cap may not
be safe.
9. Never use fuel for cleaning purposes.
10. Arrange fuel purchases so that summer grade

fuels are not held over and used in the winter.

OPERATOR PROTECTIVE STRUCTURE
WARNING
Your machine is equipped with an operator
Protective Structure, such as: a Roll Over Protective
Structure (ROPS) or Falling Object Protective
Structure (FOPS) or Cab with ROPS. A ROPS may
be a cab frame or a two--posted or four--posted
structure used for the protection of the operator to
minimise the possibility of serious injury.
The Protective Structure is a special safety
component of your machine.
DO NOT attach any device to the Protective
Structure for pulling purposes. DO NOT drill holes to
the Protective Structure.
The Protective Structure and interconnecting
components are a certified system. Any damage,
fire, corrosion or modification will weaken the
structure and reduce your protection. If this occurs,
the Protective Structure MUST be replaced so that
it will provide the same protection as a new Protective
Structure. Contact your dealer for Protective
Structure inspection and replacement.
After an accident, fire, tip or roll over, the following
MUST be performed by a qualified technician before
returning the machine to field or job site operation.
• The Protective Structure MUST be replaced.
• The mounting or suspension for the Protective

Structure, operator seat and suspension, seat
belts and mounting components and wiring
within the operator’s protective system MUST be
carefully inspected for damage.
• All damaged parts MUST be replaced.
DO NOT WELD, DRILL HOLES, ATTEMPT TO

STRAIGHTEN OR REPAIR THE PROTECTIVE

CAB
NOTE: The controls on tractors without a cab, from

the instrument console down, are very similar to
those with a cab. Even if your tractor does not have
a cab, you should still read the following text to gain
an understanding of the function and use of the
controls.
Introduction
The cab on your tractor has been designed to provide

operator protection, comfort and convenience.
Inside, the trim panels, roof, and floor are insulated
to reduce noise to a minimum.
Two wide opening doors permit entry to the cab from

either side, aided by convenient grab handles and
footsteps with anti-slip treads. The doors and rear
window are fitted with gas struts to hold them in the fully
open position. Additionally, the rear window may be
retained in the partially open position for increased
ventilation.
Standard Cab
Standard cab features include a fresh air

heater/defroster, high visibility roof panel, front and rear
wash/wipe, sun visor, tinted glass, interior light and
exterior courtesy lights, cigarette lighter, storage 5
facilities, interior/exterior rear view mirrors and a choice
of comfortable seats.
Options include air-conditioning, radio, opening front

windscreen and extending exterior rear view mirrors.
Low Profile Cab
When fitted with the optional low roof, the overall cab
height is considerably reduced allowing operation in
areas of restricted height. The standard specification
with low roof includes fixed high visibility roof panel,
air conditioning and a pre--wired disposition for the
optional radio/cassette/CD player.

switch off after 5 minutes.
21
2--12
Interior Light
(where fitted)
The interior light (2), has three operating positions.

Depress the front and the light will remain on,
depress the rear and the light will illuminate when
either of the doors are opened.
Where fitted, the courtesy light (1), operates in

conjunction with the interior light. This light provides
illumination of the step area when the door is opened.
When the switch is in the central position, the light is

off, irrespective of the position of the doors. 22
Console Light
(where fitted)
The light (1) provides a soft glow to the gear levers

and hydraulic console. The light is illuminated when
the tractor lights are turned on. On cabs with the
standard roof a second light is provided on the
left--hand side to illuminate the drinks holder and
storage box.
23
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. 24
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--13
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 25
then turn it, as required, to direct the air flow.
Air Conditioner Switch

(where fitted)
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. 26
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--14
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--15
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 32° C (90°
F).
The blower control switch (1) has five positions, off,

ATC and three blower speeds. With ATC selected
the speed of the blower fan is controlled
automatically.
To set the cab interior temperature, align the mark on 27

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.
Manual Control
To manually set the cab temperature, switch the

blower control to position I, II or III and select a
suitable setting on the temperature control. This will
disable the ATC function.
Although the in cab temperature will be maintained

within limits, it will not be as efficient as ATC.
Switching to ’LO’ will provide maximum air
conditioning output with temperature adjustment
through the blower control only.
2--16
Economy and Defrost Switch
The economy and defrost switch has three positions:

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

the air 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.
NOTE: The air conditioning compressor uses engine 28

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--17
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.
29
Cab Air Filters

1
When operating in conditions where chemical
vapours may be present, the external cab air filters
(1) 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.
30
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 31
wiped clean with a damp cloth on a regular basis.
2--18
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, during spray operations, the lower edge of the
yellow indicator enters the red section of the gauge,
carry out the checks below and follow the chemical 32
manufacturers recommendations for safe operation.
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--19

Calibrating the Ground Speed Display
Should you wish to install alternative rear tyre

equipment that would provide a radius difference of
more than 13 mm (0.5 in), then the electronic control
module should be re--calibrated to display an
accurate ground speed figure. To re--calibrate use
one of the following methods:
IMPORTANT: If your tractor is equipped with the

optional slip control feature, then the ground speed
displayed is a true speed as sensed by a radar unit,
calibration is therefore not required.
• Ensure that the tyre pressures are correct for the

load being carried. (See Tyre Load/Inflation
tables in Section 3 of this manual).
• Select a stretch of dry, firm, level ground

(preferably concrete) and carefully measure out
a distance of exactly 100.0 m (328 feet). Mark the

ELECTRO COMMAND TRANSMISSION
This transmission offers 16 or 17 forward, and 16

reverse ratios. An optional reduction gear set
(creeper gears) offers a further 16 ratios, forward and
reverse.
In the following text, operational information is based

on the 16 x 16 transmission (30 and 40 Km/h).
However, the 17 x 16 transmission (50 Km/h)
functions in exactly the same way.
NOTE: When fitted with a 40 Km/h Economy

Transmission, maximum tractor speed is
electronically limited to 40 Km/h (24.85 MPH) in 17th
gear.
IMPORTANT: When travelling at high road speeds

with trailed or semi--mounted equipment attached to
the tractor, ensure the equipment is rated for 50K/mh
operation in respect to its construction, brakes and
tyres.
The transmission is controlled by means of a main

shift lever, two powershift buttons and a range
change button. A shuttle lever mounted to the left of
the steering wheel selects forward or reverse drive.
Transmission and throttle controls are colour-coded
orange.
This transmission provides four powershift gears in

each of the four intermediate ranges A (1--4), B
(5--8), C (9--12), and D (13--16). Clutchless shifts
between gears 4 and 5, 12 and 13 are made by using
the range button in conjunction with the powershift
buttons. Range shifts between Low and High (8th.
and 9th. gears), can only be made with the clutch
pedal fully depressed.
Main Shift Lever
The main shift lever (1), is used to select both range

gears and main gears. When selecting High or Low
ranges (moving the lever forwards or rearwards) the 118
clutch pedal must always be depressed.
With the shuttle lever in neutral and clutch pedal fully

depressed, move the main shift lever rearward into
the Low (field) range. In this range, powershift gears
1--4 or 5--8 can be selected. Move the lever fully
forward to select powershift gears 9--12 or 13--16 in
the High range. To engage neutral, move the lever to
the mid position.
2--65
NOTE: With the tractor stationary and the shuttle

lever in forward or reverse drive, moving the main
shift lever from neutral without first depressing the
clutch pedal will result in the drive not being engaged.
Error code ‘N’ will appear in the transmission display
and an audible alarm will sound. Depress the clutch
pedal and shift the shuttle lever to neutral to clear the
display and re-engage the drive.
NOTE: To avoid power losses due to internal friction,

place both gearshift lever and the shuttle lever in
neutral when performing stationary operations.
119
The shift lever (1), incorporates two electrical push

buttons that are used to make instantaneous up or
down powershifts. Button (2) is depressed to make
upward changes, button (4) for downward changes.
It is not necessary to use the clutch pedal to make a
powershift.
For convenience, a duplicate set of shift buttons are

located on the right--hand control panel, see
Figure 121.
To make an upward change between gears 4 and 5

hold in the intermediate range change button (3) and
depress the upshift button (2),. The change will be 120
indicated in the gear display. Use the same
procedure to change from gear 12 to 13.
Downward changes are made using the same

procedure but depressing the downshift button (4).
If preferred, the clutch pedal may be used instead of
the intermediate range change button.
NOTE: Attempting to shift from one range to another

without using the range change button or clutch
pedal will cause the audible alarm to sound.
When the main shift lever is moved forward from

neutral or from any gear within the 1--8 range, 9th.
gear will always be selected.
Conversely, if the lever is moved rearward from 121

neutral or from the 9--16 range with the tractor
moving, the speed matching function will select the
most suitable gear between 5th and 8th. To select an
alternative gear, maintain pressure on the clutch
pedal and use the powershift buttons to engage a
different gear, then release the clutch pedal.
2--66
Shuttle Lever
Selection of forward or reverse travel is by means of

an electrically operated shuttle lever (1), located to
the left of the steering wheel. The lever is
spring-loaded to prevent inadvertent movement, lift
toward the steering wheel before selecting forward or
reverse drive. It is not necessary to depress the
clutch pedal when operating the shuttle lever.
NOTE: Forward or reverse drive cannot be engaged

unless the operator is in the tractor seat. Additionally,
if the vehicle is moved in either direction with the
handbrake engaged, an audible alarm will be heard 122
and ’P’ will be displayed in the Dot Matrix and Digital
Gear Displays (where fitted).
NOTE: To avoid power losses due to internal friction,

place both gearshift lever and the shuttle lever in
neutral when performing stationary operations.
To reduce clutch damage caused by shuttle shifting

in too high a gear or at too high a speed, the tractor
will slow using engine braking and the transmission
will then downshift to the lowest gear within the
selected intermediate range before changing
direction.
Shuttle Mode
During normal shuttle operations the same gear is

used for both forward and reverse. However, if 13th
gear or above is selected, the shuttle gear will be 9th.
With Shuttle Mode selected, the electronic control

unit for the transmission is able to memorise shuttle
gear combinations within a range of gears. To
activate Shuttle Mode, carry out the following
procedure.
• With the key start off, move the shuttle lever to

the reverse position. Depress and hold the
transmission upshift button and turn the key start
on. Do not start the engine.
• The transmission symbol and DS H3 will appear

in the dot matrix display and the centre LCD will
show ’no’ or ’YES’. Release the upshift button.
• ’no’ indicates memory function is disabled, ’YES’

shows the memory function is activated.
• Use the upshift and downshift buttons to toggle

between ’no’ and ’YES’. With the appropriate 123
selection made, turn the key start off and return
the shuttle lever to neutral.
2--67
Setting the Forward/Reverse Shuttle Gear
Start the engine and, with the clutch pedal

depressed, place the shuttle lever (1) in the forward
position. Do not release the clutch pedal. Using the
upshift/downshift buttons, set the forward gear.
Move the shuttle lever into reverse and repeat the
procedure to set the reverse gear. With the forward
and reverse gears set, return the shuttle lever to
neutral and release the clutch pedal. Shuttle Mode is
now activated.
NOTE: Selecting the shuttle gear with the lever in

neutral will result in the same ratio being set for both 124
forward and reverse.
WARNING
To prevent inadvertent tractor movement, always
stop the engine, place the shuttle lever in neutral and
firmly apply the parking brake before leaving the
tractor. The transmission will not prevent the tractor
from rolling when the engine is shut off.
Auto Take Off
The Auto Take Off feature permits the operator to

engage drive without using the clutch pedal by simply
moving the shuttle lever from neutral to the forward
or reverse position.
The Auto Take Off function is automatically enabled
under normal starting conditions. i.e. operator in the
driving seat, clutch pedal depressed, shuttle lever in
neutral.
After selecting the appropriate gear ranges with the

main shift lever simply move the shuttle lever to the
forward or reverse position without depressing the 125
clutch pedal. The Auto Take Off function will provide
a controlled start from rest.
NOTE: The Auto Take Off function will be disabled

if the vehicle is at rest with the shuttle lever in the
neutral position and the operator leaves the seat.
Should Auto Take Off be disabled for any reason, the
operator should carry out the following procedure to
re--enable this function.
While sitting in the seat, release the handbrake and
cycle the clutch pedal. The vehicle will then move off
in the direction selected on the shuttle lever.
Once enabled, the Auto Take Off function will
continue to function as long as the operator remains
in the seat.
2--68
Gear Displays
Dependent upon tractor specification, two types of

gear display may be fitted.
LED Gear Display
An illuminated display (1), to the right of the main shift

lever indicates the gear selected.
As each gear is selected, the appropriate number (3)

will be illuminated in the display. With Auto Shift
engaged, the symbols for Active Road (2) and Active
Field (4) will also be illuminated. When changing the
Auto Shift point, symbol (5) will flash during the
programming procedure.
126
Digital Gear Display (where fitted)
The digital display provides a comprehensive range

of information that includes:
Headland Turn symbols (1). (where fitted)

Forward and reverse gears (2). The display
shows the current forward gear and the
corresponding reverse or ’shuttle’ gear.
Shuttle lever position. Forward, neutral and
reverse (3).
Gear span for each range (4).
127
Field and road Auto Shift (5) symbols.
Clutch Pedal
It is not necessary to use the clutch pedal (1) to make

a powershift or when shuttle shifting (changing
direction between forward and reverse). Use of the
clutch is recommended for positioning the tractor
when attaching equipment or operating in confined
spaces when the low gears are not slow enough, at
moderate/low engine speeds, to give precise control.
IMPORTANT: To avoid premature clutch wear, do

not use the clutch pedal as a footrest.
NOTE: There may be occasions when error codes 128

’N’ or ’CP’ flash in the Dot Matrix and Digital Gear
Displays (where fitted). Should this occur, move
shuttle lever to neutral (’N’) or cycle the clutch pedal
(’CP’) to clear the error.
2--69
Driving the Tractor
With the main shift and shuttle levers in neutral,

depress the clutch pedal and start the engine.
NOTE: A neutral start switch prevents operation of

the starting motor unless the shuttle lever is in neutral
and the clutch pedal is depressed.
For forward travel, with the engine idling, depress the

clutch pedal and move the range lever (1), forward
to the High range or rearward to the Low range, as
required.
129
When the tractor is initially started and the main shift
lever placed in gear, the electronic control will
automatically select the appropriate powershift ratio
for a smooth pull away, as follows:
Gear Lever Positions Ratio Selected

Field range (Low), 1 to 8 5th. gear
Road range (High), 9 to 16 9th. gear
For forward travel, with the engine idling, pull the
shuttle lever, toward the steering wheel, against light
spring-pressure, and move it up. It is not necessary
to depress the clutch pedal.
IMPORTANT: To select 14th gear or above, the

tractor must be travelling at a suitable speed before
the higher gears will engage. 14th gear or above
cannot be engaged when the tractor is stationery.
130
Once moving, press the upshift button (1), three

times and gears 6, 7 and 8 will be selected in
sequence. Alternatively, hold the button in and the
transmission will make sequential gear changes at
1.75 second intervals until the button is released or
8th. gear is reached. Use the downshift button (2) in
the same manner to make down shifts.
IMPORTANT: Downshifts of either one or more

gears, cannot be made if the tractor engine speed is
too high. To downshift, reduce tractor speed (and
therefore engine speed) before attempting to
downshift.
131
IMPORTANT: Always use the clutch pedal when
changing between ranges 8th and 9th gears.
NOTE: When operating in temperatures below --18°

C (0° F) with cold transmission oil, avoid excessive
shuttle operations until the oil has warmed up.
2--70
To reverse the direction of travel pull the shuttle lever

toward the steering wheel, then move it down.
Transmission output speed and clutch pack
engagement are automatically monitored to take up
the drive smoothly in the opposite direction. Control
tractor speed by means of the throttle.
NOTE: If, for example, 3rd. gear is selected in

forward travel, then the same ratio will be selected
when the shuttle lever is moved to the reverse travel
position.
If it is necessary to hillstart with a heavy trailer in low

range then, when 8th. speed is reached, change to 132
the high range, the transmission will automatically
select the lowest ratio (9th.) in the high range.
When starting off in the highest range, the

transmission will always try to set off in 9th. gear. If
required, this feature may be overridden and a higher
gear selected by partially releasing the clutch then
powershifting up to the required gear before the
clutch ‘bite’ point is reached.
IMPORTANT: A tractor with electronic transmission

cannot be tow-started and must not be towed other
than to remove it from a field or onto a trailer or truck.
Changing the Shuttle (reverse) Gear

(Digital Gear Display Only)
For certain applications it may be beneficial to

change the reverse gear ratio from the one normally
selected when shuttling i.e. 4th forward gear will be
matched by 4th reverse gear. If required, a reverse
ratio up to three gears higher, or lower, may be set
providing they are within the same range.
To select an alternative reverse ratio to the default

gear i.e. 4th, move the shuttle lever into reverse and,
with the tractor moving select 2nd gear using the
downshift button. The transmission will now
automatically select 2nd gear when moving the 133
shuttle lever into reverse.
This procedure may be applied in gear ranges 1--4

and 5--8. When moving from one range to another,
either upwards or downwards, the default reverse
gear will always be selected until the operator
chooses an alternative ratio.
When operating in the higher ratios 13--16, the

default reverse gear will always be 9th unless a lower
ratio is selected by the operator.
2--71
Speed Matching
Speed matching will normally only permit a downshift

to a lower gear. It will however, select a higher gear
if the the engine attempts to overspeed.
When travelling on the road in High range, gears 13

to 16, the transmission will automatically select a
gear to match engine speed to road speed if the
following method is adopted:
To downshift: Decrease engine speed, depress the

clutch pedal while simultaneously increasing engine
speed by pressing the foot throttle further down.
When the clutch pedal is released, the transmission
will automatically select a lower gear (provided 13th.
speed is not already selected) matching engine
speed to road speed.
NOTE: When operating in Auto Shift high range, the

lowest downshift gear will become 9th, see text on
Auto Shift.
In high range, the operator can manually select

another gear without affecting the speed matching
function.
With the range lever placed in low, speed matching

will operate down to 5th gear.
NOTE: The speed matching function will be disabled

if the operator manually selects a gear when in the
low range.
2--72
Auto Shift Function

(Active Electro Command Only)
With Auto Shift engaged, the transmission on your

tractor is able to make automatic gearshifts, both up
and down, within a 4 gear span based on speed and
load. This can be extended to an 8 gear auto shift in
the high range for road use.
Auto Shifting in Active Field Gears
In Active Field, auto shifts can be made within gear

spans 1--4 or 5--8. With the main shift lever in the low
range (lever fully rearward), momentarily depress
the Auto Shift button. The Active Field symbol
(plough) will appear in the gear display and the Auto
switch will illuminate to confirm engagement.
Moving off in 1st gear, the transmission will

automatically upshift through gears 2 and 3 until 4th
gear is engaged. To Auto Shift through gears 5 to 8,
select 5th gear using the range change button and
depress the Auto Shift button again, the transmission
134
will now automatically upshift through gears 5 to 8.
As the tractor speed reduces, or the load on the

engine increases, the transmission will automatically
downshift to a lower gear.
If necessary, Active Field can be extended to include

gears 9 to 12. To engage, move the main shift lever
fully forward to select any gear in the 9 to 12 range,
then depress the Auto Shift button again. To confirm
engagement, both Active Field and Active Road
symbols will illuminate.
In ranges 1--4, 5--8 and 9--12, Auto Shift may be

linked to 3--point hitch operation. Raising the 3--point
hitch with the fast raise switch will put Auto Shift into
135
standby mode, lowering the hitch will re--activate the
Auto Shift function.
NOTE: If the 3--point hitch was in the raised position

when the Auto Shift function was activated and has
not been moved, then Auto Shift will operate without
lowering the hitch.
Auto Shift will also enter standby mode if the clutch

pedal is depressed or the shuttle lever is moved from
the forward drive position.
To cancel Auto Shift press and release the switch or

operate the upshift or downshift button.
NOTE: When using engine braking to slow the

tractor, operating the upshift or downshift buttons will
not disable Auto Shift unless the selected gear is
outside the Auto Shift range.
2--73
Changing the Active Field Auto Shift Gear

Span
In some field operations it may be beneficial to

reduce the number of Auto Shift gears in the span to
provide a more consistent tractor speed or engine
speed.
The Active Field Auto Shift function normally

operates within a four gear span, such as 1--4, 5--8
or 9--12. However, the number of auto shifts within a
selected range may be reduced from a 4 gear span
to a 3, or a 2 gear span as required.
NOTE: All adjustments to the Auto Shift span must

be made with the tractor moving and the relative Auto
Shift range selected.
NOTE: Changes made to the Auto Shift gear span

will not be retained at key--off.
Reducing the gear span upper limit: Increase

tractor speed until the current Auto Shift upper gear
is engaged then momentarily depress the downshift
button (2). The transmission will downshift one gear
which becomes the new upper limit Auto Shift gear.
To reduce the span further, depress the downshift
button again.
Raising the gear span upper limit: Increase

tractor speed until the upper gear is engaged then
momentarily depress the upshift button (1). 136
Providing the currently engaged gear is not the
highest in the range, the transmission will upshift to
the next gear. This becomes the new Auto Shift
upper limit gear.
Reducing the gear span lower limit: Slow the

tractor until the lowest Auto Shift gear is engaged and
depress the downshift button (2) once. Providing the
currently engaged gear is not the lowest in the range,
the transmission will downshift one gear. This
becomes the new lower limit Auto Shift gear.
Raising the gear span lower limit: Reduce tractor

speed until the lowest Auto Shift gear is engaged and
momentarily depress the upshift button (2). The
transmission will upshift one gear, this becomes the
new lower limit Auto Shift gear.
2--74
The Auto Shift gear span is shown in the

transmission display. Figures 137 and 138 show a 3
gear span of 6, 7 and 8. The currently selected gear
is 7th.
Digital Display: The span of gears will be

represented by flashing bars and the selected gear
by the solid block, see Figure 137.
LED Display: The span of gears will be identified by

flashing digits and the engaged gear by the
permanently lit digit, see Figure 138.
137
With Auto Shift in standby mode, the operator can

manually shift to any gear, even if it is outside the
current range of Auto Shift gears. Providing the
operator selects a gear within the current Auto Shift
range prior to exiting standby mode (i.e. lowering the
3--point hitch), then the Auto Shift function will be
resumed.
However, if the gear selected is outside the current

range when exiting standby, the Auto Shift function
will be cancelled.
If 8th gear is selected and the Auto Shift span is 5,

6 and 7, then the transmission will immediately 138
downshift to 7th gear on exiting standby mode.
If the Auto Shift span is 6, 7 and 8 and 5th gear is

selected on exiting the standby mode, then the
transmission will remain in 5th until conditions permit
a normal auto upshift to 6th gear. At this point the
original Auto Shift gear span of 6, 7, and 8 will be
re--instated.
2--75
Auto Shifting in Road Gears
In Active Road, Auto Shift will make upshifts or

downshifts through gears 9--12 or 13--16. With the
main shift lever moved fully forward, momentarily
depress the Auto Shift button (1), the Active Road
symbol (trailer) will illuminate in the gear display to
confirm engagement.
The transmission will now make automatic shifts
through gears 9 to 12 or 13 to 16 dependant on the
range selected.
By depressing the Auto Shift button twice, Active
Road can be programmed to automatically upshift or 139
downshift through gears 9 to 16 including the range
change from 12th to 13th gear.
The Electro Command transmission allows

automatic shifts to be made between 9th and 16th
gears when operating in extended Active Road. This
extended span of gears will require a range change
between 12th and 13th gears.
The duration of a shift between 12th and 13th gears

will, by necessity, be longer in duration than shifts not
requiring a range change. In most situations, the time
delay will not be noticeable and the shift will complete
as expected. However, in certain conditions, e.g.
accelerating uphill whilst pulling a fully laden trailer,
this delay may cause the tractor to lose momentum
resulting in a downshift rather than to upshift as
expected.
Where conditions of this type are encountered, it is

recommended to operate the tractor in Active Road
and manually shift between 12th and 13th gears. The
duration of the shift can be further reduced by
momentarily depressing and releasing the clutch
pedal instead of the using the range button.
Also, when operating on a downhill slope, a 13th --

12th downshift will promote a momentary loss of
drive as the range change occurs. As with any
vehicle, it is important to select the correct gear
before descending a steep gradient but if a downshift
between 13th to 12th gears is required, then it is
recommended to briefly apply the tractor footbrakes
during the shift.
2--76
Changing the Shift Point
To suit different applications, the point at which the

transmission makes an automatic gear shift may be
adjusted from the default setting of 20%. Auto Shift 1
gear changes are related to an increase or decrease
in engine speed which can be set at 5, 10, 15, 20 or
25 percent.
NOTE: For transport operations the shift point will
automatically default to 20% if a lower figure has
been set. If the shift point is set at 25%, it will remain
at that setting.
With the shift point set at 10%, a transmission upshift 140
will occur every time the engine speed increases by
10%. Consequently, as the engine speed decreases
by the same amount, the transmission will make a
downshift.
It is recommended that during field operations the
shift point is set at a low percentage, and for road
transport applications, set at a higher figure.
To change the shift point, depress and hold the Auto

Shift button for at least one second. The current shift
point figure appears in the Display of Gears and the
’ramp’ symbol (1) begins to flash. Depress the Auto
Shift button repeatedly to scroll through the shift 1
points.
With the new shift point selected, release the Auto

Shift button and pause for five seconds. The new
setting will be memorised and the display will return
to normal.
IMPORTANT: At key--off (engine stop), electronic

programme settings made during tractor operation
are transferred from the operating memory to the 141
main memory. To provide sufficient time for the data
to transfer, allow a minimum of five seconds delay
before turning the key on again.
2--77
Error Codes
In the unlikely event of a fault occurring in the

transmission controls or electronic circuitry, the 1
malfunction symbol (1) and a four-digit error code
(2), will appear in the Dot Matrix Display on the
instrument panel.
The code indicates the faulty circuit or sensor and the 2

type of fault, e.g., open circuit, short circuit, etc. In
this event, the tractor will require the attention of your
authorised dealer. Error codes for the transmission
will start with the figure ’2’.
142
Should a fault occur causing the tractor to become
disabled, contact your authorised dealer and report
the error code displayed.
There are a number of ’action reqired’ error codes

that may appear in the Dot Matrix Display, these are
listed below.
Error
Code Action Required
P Park brake on, release brake lever.
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--78
Creeper Gears (where fitted)
For operations requiring extra low ground speeds,

reduction gear sets (creeper gears) are available.
The reduction gear set is installed within the rear axle
assembly.
As the name implies, the reduction gear set has the

effect of reducing all the ratios within the main
transmission to provide an additional sixteen gears
in forward and reverse.
The creeper gears are selected by means of a rocker

switch located on the right-hand control console. 143
With the engine running, clutch depressed and the

shuttle lever in neutral, apply and hold down the
tractor footbrakes. Momentarily depress the upper
part of the selector switch Figure 143, to engage the
creeper gears.
The creep speed symbol (1), will appear flashing in

the transmission display. When the creep gears are
fully engaged the symbol will cease to flash and
become steady.
To disengage creeper gears, repeat the above

procedure and depress the selector switch again.
The creep speed symbol will cease to illuminate. 144
IMPORTANT: The creeper gears offer very low

ground speeds. Do not use the low gearing
advantage to apply excessive draft loads to the
tractor.

DIFFERENTIAL LOCK
Four wheel drive tractors have a differential lock

installed in the front and rear axles to lock all four
wheels together in conditions where wheel slip may
occur. Two wheel drive tractors have a differential
lock in the rear axle only.
The differential locks are controlled by a spring

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

mode or automatic mode. To confirm mode selected, 145
the appropriate symbol on the switch will illuminate
when engaged.
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.
Operating in Manual Mode (all models)
In slippery conditions, momentarily depress the

bottom of the switch Figure 145 , to lock both wheels

with a steering angle sensor.
• Wheel speed falls below 10 Km/h (6.2 MPH) and

steering angle exceeds 30° (21° with
SuperSteer). Four wheel drive will re--engage
when the steering angle is reduced.
• Wheel speed is between 10 and 20 Km/h (6.2

and 12.4 MPH) and steering angle exceeds 25°
(17° with SuperSteeer). Four wheel drive will
re--engage when the steering angle is reduced.
NOTE: The above steering angles are set during 151

manufacture, if an alternative angle setting is
required, consult your authorised dealer.
The indicator light (1) Figure 151 on the instrument

panel will also illuminate but will only remain lit when
four wheel drive is engaged.
NOTE: To avoid excessive tyre wear when travelling

on the public highway or any hard surface, it is
recommended that four wheel drive be disengaged.
WARNING
Tractors with four wheel drive engaged or
disengaged should not be allowed to overspeed by
towing or coasting downhill with clutch depressed or
transmission in neutral. This may cause loss of
control, personal injury to the operator or bystanders
or failure of the drive shaft.
NOTE: Keep the tractor in the same gear going

downhill as would be used when going uphill.
WARNING
Your tractor is equipped with very efficient,
hydraulically actuated rear wheel brakes. On four
wheel drive tractors the drive to the front axle is
automatically engaged, at speeds above 8.5 km/h
(5.2 MPH), when the brakes are applied, to provide
four wheel braking. Owners should be aware of the
effectiveness of four wheel braking which greatly
enhances braking performance. Care should be
taken during heavy braking, particularly if the rear of
the tractor is unballasted.
2--85
TERRAGLIDE™ FRONT AXLE

SUSPENSION (where fitted)
The optional, self-levelling, front axle suspension will

provide improved stability, control, comfort and
traction. Terraglide 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. A warning light in the switch will indicate
lock out is engaged.
152
To lock out the suspension, press the top of the
switch on the right-hand control panel. Press the top
of the switch again to reactivate the suspension
facility.
At speeds above 12 k/mh (7.4 MPH), the suspension

will automatically re--engage, overriding axle lock
out. In this situation the warning light will remain on.
NOTE: Should the lock out switch warning light begin

to flash, this would indicate a malfunction of the
suspension system. Consult your authorised dealer.
IMPORTANT: See Ballasting and Tyres, page

3--149, regarding the use of front end weights with
front axle suspension.
WARNING
Hydraulic oil in the front axle suspension system
operates under very high pressure. Escaping
hydraulic oil under pressure can penetrate the skin
causing serious injury. Unqualified persons should
not attempt to disconnect any pipework in the front
axle hydraulic system. Failure to follow these
instructions can result in serious injury.
WARNING
If a transmission ratio is engaged, with the engine
running and the tractor supported on axle stands, the
self-levelling function of the suspension may cause
the axle to make corrections (move up and down).
The suspension should be locked out to maintain
stability.

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).

negative, (--), terminal of auxiliary battery.
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--7
Turn off all electrical equipment not required 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 that all gearshift levers are in neutral.

• Ensure the shuttle lever is in neutral.
• Ensure that the P.T.O. knob is in the ‘off’ position.

• Place the remote control valve levers in the
neutral position.
• Move the hydraulic lift 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.
• 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--8
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.

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--10
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

electronic engine controller (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

electronic 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--11
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.
10
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 ECU controlled
system will continue to function in the normal way.
3--12
ENGINE POWER MANAGEMENT

(where fitted)
Engine Power Management is an automatic system

designed to boost engine power levels where tractor
performance may be compromised due to increased
loads.
Once activated, EPM will monitor and respond to

increased power demands by gradually raising the
level of horsepower available.
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
Before EPM will operate the following must apply:

Engine sped above 1300 e.r.p.m.
Tractor forward speed above 0.5 Km/h (0.3 MPH).
PTO power output is above 27 kW (36.2 hp.).
PTO driveline torque is above 250 Nm.
NOTE: Engine Power Management will operate at all

P.T.O. speeds, i.e. 540, 540E and 1000 r.p.m.
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. As the torque and load on the 11
PTO reaches or exceeds the above levels, the
warning light (1) will illuminate and Engine Power
Management will be activated.
When the power requirement is reduced, the amount

of boost is also reduced until the system reverts to
standby.
Road Transport Applications
Before EPM will operate the following must apply:

16th gear or above must be selected.
Auto Transport mode selected.
Engine speed between 1800 and 2200 e.r.p.m.
Engine Power Management will only function when

Auto Shift is selected and the tractor is operating in
16th gear or above. EPM will be de--activated if one
or more of the following occurs:
Downshifting below 16th gear.
Engine speed falls below 1800 e.r.p.m.
Auto Shift is disengaged.
3--13
ENGINE SPEED MANAGEMENT

(where fitted)
With Engine Speed Management, the operator may

pre--set one or two fixed engine speeds appropriate
to the work in hand.
With ESM engaged the indicator light on the

instrument panel (1), will illuminate to confirm
operation.
When in operation ESM constantly monitors engine

load and speed for any change. If engine load
increases and the r.p.m. drops, ESM will adjust the 12
engine speed control unit to compensate, thereby
maintaining a constant engine r.p.m.
Setting Engine Speed Management
With the engine running, set the hand throttle to 1000

r.p.m. To activate Speed Management, momentarily
depress the top of the switch (2) on the right--hand
console. To deactivate, depress the top of the switch
again.
Select programme 1 by momentarily depressing the

bottom of switch (2) and then, using the speed
control switch (1), increase the engine speed to the
desired level. When the speed for programme 1 has
been entered, programme 2 can then be selected (if
required) by momentarily depressing the bottom of 13
switch (2) again. Repeat the above procedure to set
the second speed.
NOTE: Momentarily depressing the speed

adjustment switch will increase or decrease the
speed in 10 rpm increments. Maintaining pressure
on the switch will permit the speed to ramp up or
down at 100 rpm/second, providing there is no load
on the engine.
IMPORTANT: At key--off (engine stop), electronic

programme settings made during tractor operation
are transferred from the operating memory to the
main memory. To provide sufficient time for the data
to transfer, allow a minimum of five seconds delay
before turning the key on again.
3--14
Operating with Engine Speed Management
The Engine Speed Management function can be

engaged at any time providing the engine is running
above 1000 r.p.m. Momentarily depress the Speed
Control switch (2) to activate ESM. The system will

HEADLAND TURN SEQUENCE

(where fitted)
Quick Guide to Headland Turn Sequence (HTS)
Where there is a need to repeat a sequence of

actions, such as those made during a headland turn,
HTS can be used to create, store and play--back a
programme of these actions.
The following text is provided as a quick guide to the

operation of Headland Turn Sequence. A more
comprehensive guide to the operation of HTS can be
found beginning on page 3--18.
NOTE: For HTS to function, the hand throttle must

be set above 900 e.r.p.m. and the tractor travelling
at a speed above 0.5 K/mh (0.3 MPH).

The programme number will be replaced by a flashing
play--back symbol.
3. To begin play--back, depress and hold the step switch until a

’beep’ is heard. The play--back symbol will stop flashing and
will remain on.
NOTE: In MANUAL re--play the programme will pause after
each step is completed, momentarily depress the step switch
to re--play the next step.
3. During play--back, the function symbols will scroll upwards

towards the top of the HTS display.
4. After the current sequence has been re--played, the next

sequence will be held in standby mode (play--back symbol
flashing). Depress and hold the step switch until a ’beep’ is
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 record switch. To re--enter HTS, start at
paragraph 1 above.
See page 3--20 for an explanation of HTS symbols.
3--17
Headland Turn Sequence Operation (HTS)
In the recording mode a sequence of actions or

’steps’ are recorded to create a programme. In
play--back mode, HTS will re--play the sequence
exactly as recorded.
Programmes 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.
HTS permits up to 28 individual steps to be recorded

as one or two separate programmes.
Three switches control the operation of HTS:

1. Play--back switch. To re--play a programme
momentarily depress the top of this switch (A) for
AUTO re--play, depress the bottom of the switch
for MANUAL re--play.
2. Record switch. This switch is used to activate or
de--activate the system and to select the record
mode.
3. Step switch. The step switch is used to start,
pause or stop a programme. The step switch can 16
also be used to insert pauses during a recording
or to pause a programme during play--back.
NOTE: Each pause inserted during a recording will

be recognised as a programme step by HTS.
Where HTS is used to create a recording, the

following actions or functions may be included in the
3
programme.
• Regulate engine speed.

• Shift transmission gears up, and/or down.
• Raise and lower the rear three point hitch.*
• Raise and lower the front three point hitch.*
• Operate rear electronic remote valves.
• Hydraulically adjustable top link and left--hand lift
rod.
17
3--18
IMPORTANT: When operating In Field Auto Mode,

activating HTS will suspend the Auto Mode function.
After completing a headland manoeuvre
programme, HTS will be suspended and the Field
Auto Mode programme 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 HTS is activated, the symbol (1), will appear

in the Display of Gears.
The symbol at (2), Figure 19, will show whether HTS

is in record or play--back mode.
When recording or re--playing a programme, each

action or step will be represented by the appropriate
symbol, i.e. a gear change or series of gear changes
will be accompanied by a transmission symbol.
See page 3--20 for an explanation of HTS symbols.
As each step is recorded the accompanying symbol 18

will move down the display as the next step begins.
The symbol for the new step will appear immediately
below the record symbol.
During play--back, 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 seven symbols may be displayed at

one time.
IMPORTANT: If a programme fault occurs and the

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

3--21
Recording a Programme
NOTE: For HTS to function, the hand throttle must

be set to provide an engine speed above 900 e.r.p.m.
To record a Headland Turn Sequence, depress and

hold the top of the record switch (2), for three
seconds. This will activate HTS but the system will
remain in standby mode.
The HTS symbol will appear in the upper part of the

display accompanied by the recording symbol which
will start to flash.
20
To start recording, momentarily depress the step

switch (3). As each HTS linked control is operated,
3
a grey coloured symbol will appear in the display
immediately below the recording symbol.
As each symbol moves down the display to be

replaced by the next one, the colour will change from
grey to black.
NOTE: Symbols relating to the function in current

use, either in record or play--back mode, will always
appear inversed (grey symbol on black background).
After the first HTS sequence has been completed, a 21

second (opposite headland) sequence may be
recorded.
Depress and hold the step switch (3) for three

seconds to end the first recording and enter standby
mode. The recording symbol will start to flash.
To start recording a second sequence, momentarily

depress the step switch (3).
NOTE: 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
programme at this point.
3--22
During a recording, pauses may be inserted into the

programme by momentarily depressing the step
3
switch (3). HTS recording will pause at this point and
a pause symbol will be inserted in the sequence,
depress the step switch again to resume recording.
To store a recorded sequence, depress the the top

of the record switch (2) Figure 20. This will
de--activate the HTS function and no further
recording will occur.
IMPORTANT: If, during a recording sequence, the

engine is stopped (key--off) then all steps recorded
up to that point will be saved. 22
NOTE: Shuttling actions are not recorded but a

pause is automatically inserted into the sequence
when the shuttle lever is operated.
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.
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.
23
3--23
Playback a Programme
CAUTION
Before commencing work, it is recommended that
HTS programmes are given a ’dry run’ to ensure all
programme steps have been retained in the memory,
and any timed EHR sequences replay correctly.
To replay a recorded sequence, momentarily

depress the top of the play--back switch (1) for AUTO
re--play, depress the bottom of the switch for
MANUAL re--play. Play--back will be activated but will
remain in standby mode.
If the suspend/resume function (step switch) was

used to record a second programme, the operator
may now cycle between programmes 1 and 2 by
holding down the AUTO or MANUAL side of the
play--back switch.
When the correct number appears at the top of the

transmission display, release the switch. The 24
programme number will be replaced by a flashing
play--back symbol.
When reaching the point at which the programme is

to start, depress and hold the step switch (3) until a
3
’beep’ is heard. When the programme start point is
reached, release the switch. Play--back will start as
soon as the switch is released and the first symbol in
the sequence will appear below the play--back
symbol.
NOTE: To initiate playback, the engine speed must

be above 900 e.r.p.m. and the groundspeed must be
above 0.5 K/mh (0.31 MPH).
When play--back begins, the symbol will stop

flashing and will remain displayed. 25
As each function comes into play, the corresponding

symbol will appear immediately below the play--back
symbol. At this point it will change from black on grey
to grey on black (inversed).
3--24
Subsequent symbols in the programme sequence

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

depressing the step switch will only play the first step
in the sequence. When the first step is completed the
programme will pause until the step switch is
depressed again to start the next action in the
sequence.
In play--back, each step will be 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
3
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 programme in AUTOMATIC mode,
adjustments can be made to the time span of a
sequence or to extend the delay between individual
steps. This only applies to pauses inserted at the
recording stage.
In play--back mode, the programme may be stopped

at any time by depressing the step switch (3). The 26
programme will pause and play--back symbol will
begin to flash.
3--25
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 programme play--back, depress and hold

the step switch until a ’beep’ is heard, 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:
• Tractor speed drops below 0.5 Km/h (0.3 MPH),

or is stationary for more than 10 seconds.
• 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 programme.
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 command step selected the valve
float function.
3--26
If an EHR function is in play and the step switch (3)

is used to cancel the action i.e. to stop a hydraulic
3
cylinder extending, then the cylinder will stop and
play--back will be suspended. The cancelled action
will be by--passed and the programme will move on
to the next step when play--back is re--started.
However, the cancelled action will remain in the
programme memory for subsequent re--plays.
To continue the programme, depress and hold the
step switch until a ’beep’ is heard, then release the
switch.
NOTE: When a HTS programme is suspended, the 27

symbols will flash in the display until the step switch
is depressed to re--start the programme.
IMPORTANT: If an HTS programme is halted by the

operator leaving the seat for more than 2 seconds,
the current engine speed will be maintained until the
operator returns to the seat or the throttle setting is
changed.
Before leaving the seat, always deactivate HTS
and apply the tractor parking brake.
3--27
FAST STEER (where fitted)
The optional Fast Steer system is designed to

provide a 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.
IMPORTANT: Before travelling on the public

highway Fast Steer must be de--activated and
normal steering re--instated. To check normal 28
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

isolator switch Figure 28. A warning light in the
switch will illuminate to confirm activation.
To operate Fast Steer, depress and hold the centre

ring (3) on the steering wheel, to disengage, release
the ring. With the centre ring depressed, the indicator
light (2) will illuminate on the instrument panel. It will
extinguish when the centre ring is released.
29
NOTE: If the isolator switch is left in the ’ON’ position

at engine key--off, then Fast Steer will be
de--activated at key--on. The isolator switch warning
light will not illuminate and the indicator light (2) will
flash if the centre ring is depressed. To re--activate
Fast Steer turn the isolator switch ’OFF’ and then
’ON’.
30
3--28
Fast Steer can only be operated if the following three

conditions are met.
1. The isolator switch is in the ON position and the
switch warning 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.
NOTE: Attempting to use the Fast Steer function

without meeting all the above conditions, will cause
the indicator light (2) to flash.
NOTE: If tractor speed exceeds 10 K/mh (6.2 MPH)

with Fast Steer in operation, it will be disengaged and
the indicator light (2) will flash.
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 commencing Fast Steer operation.
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 Dot Matrix
Display. If the fault is of a critical nature, the ’STOP’
warning lamp will also flash on the instrument panel, 31
consult your authorised dealer.
To re--activate Fast Steer, turn the isolator switch

’OFF’, correct the fault, and then turn the isolator
switch ’ON’.
IMPORTANT: To promote safe operation of Fast

Steer, it is advised that the operator become familiar
with the system before operating in the field.
3--29
REAR POWER TAKE--OFF
Description
The P.T.O. is engaged and disengaged by means of

a knob (1) on the right-hand console. The adjacent
warning light (2) will illuminate when the P.T.O. is
engaged.
Four types of rear P.T.O. system are available,

dependent upon tractor model and country.
a) Two--speed P.T.O. with inter-changeable output

shafts.
b) Two--speed, shiftable P.T.O. with

inter--changeable output shafts and the option of
fender--mounted switches for stationary P.T.O. 32
work.
c) Three--speed, shiftable P.T.O. with

inter-changeable output shafts and the option of
fender-mounted switches for stationary P.T.O.
work.
d) Three--speed ground drive P.T.O., available in

conjunction with three speed shiftable P.T.O.
above.
An automatic ‘soft start’ facility is provided on all

models to permit easy start up of heavy, high inertia,
P.T.O.--driven equipment.
Soft start modulates P.T.O. clutch torque over the

first 5 seconds of engagement to provide a slower,
gradual take up of the drive.
NOTE: Soft start only operates at engine speeds of

1800 rev/min and below. Above this speed, normal
P.T.O. engagement will occur.
3--30
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 33
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.
34
When the Time--Out period is complete and the
symbol disappears from the display, normal P.T.O.
operation is re--enabled.
3--31
P.T.O. Range Lever
With shiftable P.T.O., a range lever is provided. The

lever is used to select one of two or three P.T.O.
speed ranges to provide power or economy. The
range lever is located at the rear of the right-hand
console.
Depending on country and vehicle specification, your

tractor may be fitted with a P.T.O. range lever as
shown in Figure 35 or the alternative ’T’ handle lever
featured in Figure 36.
Conventional Lever
With the tractor stationary and the P.T.O. control

knob in the disengaged position, select the required
speed by means of the range lever. Lift the
spring-loaded collar (2) beneath the knob (1) and
move the lever to engage the required P.T.O. speed.
To aid smooth shifting between P.T.O. speeds,

depress and hold the P.T.O. brake release switch (3)
while selecting an alternate range.
35
’T’ Handle Lever
With the tractor stationary and the P.T.O. control

knob in the disengaged position, select the required
speed by means of the range lever. Lift the
spring-loaded collar (3) beneath the ’T’ handle (2)
while simultaneously depressing the P.T.O. brake
release button (1). Move the lever to engage the
appropriate P.T.O. speed.
36
3--32
Groundspeed Selector Lever
Ground drive P.T.O. is available, in conjunction with

3--speed, shiftable P.T.O., on all models. As
suggested by the name, ground drive P.T.O. speed
is directly related to rotation of the rear wheels rather
than engine speed. When ground drive P.T.O. is
installed, a second lever (2) is provided.
Three ground speed ranges are provided, selected

by means of the P.T.O. range lever (1).
37
3--33
ATTACHING P.T.O. DRIVEN EQUIPMENT
CAUTION
Before attaching or detaching equipment or
changing the P.T.O. shaft:
• Firmly apply the parking brake.
• Place the shuttle lever in Neutral.
• Disengage the P.T.O. (knob fully down) and wait
until the P.T.O. and equipment stops.
• Switch off the engine before getting off the
tractor.
Mount or hitch the equipment to the tractor as

outlined in THREE--POINT LINKAGE on page 3--97.
With the engine stopped, the P.T.O. brake is released

and the shaft may be turned by hand to aid
implement shaft alignment.
A flip-up P.T.O. guard is fitted as standard. Remove

the ’R’ clip (1) from the locating pin and slide the
guard upwards to clear the pin. Rotate the guard to
gain access to the P.T.O. shaft. A second locating pin
allows the guard to be fixed at 45° if required.
The P.T.O. guard also serves as a support for

drive-line shields used with P.T.O.-driven equipment
and provides for your safety. Do not modify the
guard. 38
NOTE: Tractors with slider type, vertically adjustable

drawbars have a flip--up P.T.O. guard plate fixed to
the slider frame. See ’Slider Frame Drawbars’ in this
section.
To connect P.T.O.-driven equipment to the P.T.O.

shaft, tilt the guard up for access. Pull the plastic cap
(1) from the shaft and store it in the tractor toolbox.
The plastic P.T.O. cap should always be installed

over the shaft when the P.T.O. is not in use.
39
3--34
Attach the implement to the P.T.O. shaft, ensuring

that the implement driveshaft coupler lock pin (3) or
detent balls engage the groove in the P.T.O. shaft (2).
If the coupler does not have a locking arrangement,
pin the coupler to the shaft. Lower the flip-up guard
and replace the ’R’ clip.
IMPORTANT: After attaching mounted equipment,

carefully raise and lower using Position Control and
check clearances and P.T.O. shaft slide range and
articulation. When attaching trailed equipment,
ensure that the drawbar is correctly set.
40
P.T.O. OPERATING PRECAUTIONS
WARNING
Whenever operating P.T.O. equipment, observe the
following precautions:
• Check that you are using the correct P.T.O.

speed for the implement. Follow the instructions
in the equipment operator’s manual.
• Ensure that the P.T.O. guard is installed when

using P.T.O. driven equipment.
• Do not wear loose clothing when operating

P.T.O. driven equipment.
• Firmly apply the parking brake, place all

gearshift levers in neutral and block all four
wheels before operating any stationary P.T.O.
equipment. 41
• Do not approach, clean or adjust P.T.O. driven

equipment while the tractor engine is still
running. Disengage the P.T.O. (knob fully down)
and wait until the P.T.O. and equipment stops.
Switch off the engine before getting off the
tractor.
• With the engine stopped, the P.T.O. brake is

released and the shaft may be turned by hand to
aid the installation or removal of the implement
P.T.O. shaft.
42
3--35
TWO and THREE--SPEED P.T.O. SYSTEMS
General Information
Generally speaking, P.T.O. driven equipment not

having a high power requirement is designed to run
at 540 P.T.O. rev/min and will have a 6--spline female
coupling. A P.T.O. shaft speed of 540 rev/min is
obtained at an engine speed of 1970 rev/min.
Equipment having a high power requirement is

designed to operate at 1000 P.T.O. rev/min and will
be provided with a 21--spline female coupling. With
the 21--spline shaft installed, run the engine at 2120
rev/min to provide a P.T.O. speed of 1000 rev/min.
Equipment that requires very low power to operate

may be run in the alternative P.T.O. speed range at
a lower engine speed with a consequent reduction in
fuel consumption and engine wear.
Tractors with 3--speed P.T.O. have the advantage of

running low power 540 P.T.O. driven equipment at a
reduced engine speed by selecting 540E on the
lever. See page 3--42 for P.T.O. and engine speeds.
IMPORTANT: Implements with a high power

requirement should be operated with the 1000
rev/min. P.T.O. (21--spline shaft). If it is necessary to
use the 6--spline shaft (at 540 rev/min.) to operate
implements having a power requirement of more
than 75 horsepower, then it is strongly
recommended that the implement is fitted with a slip
clutch to avoid damage to the P.T.O. output shaft and
other tractor components.
NOTE: When required, change the P.T.O. shaft to

suit the operation and equipment in use, as
described under ‘Changing the P.T.O. Output Shaft’
on page 3--48 .
3--36
TWO--SPEED P.T.O. WITH REVERSIBLE

OUTPUT SHAFT (where fitted)
Tractors with a reversible shaft P.T.O. system will be

supplied with a single output shaft having 6 and 21
splines.
Operating
With the engine running at 1000 rev/min., press the

knob (1) and lift the collar (3) and knob up to engage
the P.T.O. The knob will remain up while the P.T.O.
is engaged and the adjacent warning light (2) will be
illuminated.
IMPORTANT: To avoid shock loads to the P.T.O.,

reduce engine speed to approximately 1000 rev/min
when engaging the P.T.O.
43
Open the throttle to obtain the required engine/P.T.O.

speeds. The P.T.O. speed can be displayed in the
central LCD on the instrument panel (1).
NOTE: The light (2) Figure 43, will be illuminated

when the P.T.O. is engaged. If overspeeding of the
P.T.O. occurs (P.T.O. speed exceeds 630 rev/min)
the light will flash for 5 seconds, then remain steady.
When the 1000 rev/min/shaft is in use, the light may
also flash (but may be ignored) as P.T.O. shaft speed
passes through the 630 rev/min range. The light will
flash again at 1170 P.T.O. rev/min to indicate that
overspeeding has occurred in the 1000 rev/min
P.T.O. range.
44
Press the knob firmly down to disengage the P.T.O.
3--37
NOTE: If the engine is stopped, the P.T.O. will not

operate when the engine is restarted until the P.T.O.
knob (1) is reset. Return the control knob manually
to the ‘off’ position (by pressing the knob down) then
re-engage the P.T.O., as previously described.
45
IMPORTANT: 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
equipped with an overrun clutch. To avoid damage to
the brake when operating high inertia implements,
hold down the top of the switch (1), to disengage the
brake and allow the implement to come to rest
naturally.
DANGER 46
To avoid inadvertent movement of the implement,
disengage the P.T.O. after each use.
CHANGING THE P.T.O. SHAFT SPEED
IMPORTANT: Before changing the speed of the

output shaft, switch off the P.T.O., stop the engine
and apply the handbrake.
Using a suitable tool, compress the lugs on the circlip

and remove it from the P.T.O. housing. Carefully
withdraw the output shaft.
NOTE: To aid removal, rotate the circlip until the lugs

(2), align with the flat on the P.T.O. shaft (1).
Thoroughly clean the P.T.O. shaft before re--inserting 47

it into the housing. Ensure the number of splines on
the shaft (3), correspond to those on the implement
drive shaft.
Replace the circlip ensuring it engages fully with the

groove in the P.T.O. housing.
IMPORTANT: After re--fitting, rotate the circlip 180°

in the housing so the lugs are opposite the flat on the
output shaft.

GROUND DRIVE P.T.O. (where fitted)
Three-speed ground drive P.T.O. is available on all

models in conjunction with the 3-speed
engine-driven, shiftable P.T.O. previously described.
Ground drive P.T.O. speed is directly related to
rotation of the rear wheels rather than engine speed.
Three speed ranges are provided, selected by

means of the P.T.O. range lever (1). An additional
lever (2) is provided to select ground drive.
To engage ground drive P.T.O:

AUTO P.T.O. FUNCTION (where fitted)
With Electronic Draft Control
The Auto P.T.O. function provides automatic

engagement or 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. 63
IMPORTANT: The tractor must be stationary and the

P.T.O. switched off before attempting this procedure.
• With the engine running and the P.T.O. switched

off, operate the lift control to capture the hitch.
• With the P.T.O. disengaged, depress and hold

the Auto P.T.O. switch 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 hitch.
• Raise the hitch to point at which the P.T.O. is to

disengage. Depress the Auto P.T.O. switch once,
the central display will show ’d xx’ (where ’xx’ is
the current height of the hitch).
• Lower the hitch to the point where the P.T.O. is

to re--engage and depress the Auto P.T.O. switch
again. The central display will show ’End’ for two
seconds and then return to the option selected
prior to entering set--up mode.
Providing the tractor is stationary and the P.T.O. is

disengaged, this procedure can be carried out at any
time. The new settings will remain in the memory until
re--programmed.
3--46
To activate the Auto function, engage the P.T.O. as

previously described and then depress and hold the
AUTO side of the switch (1), for more than one
second. The Auto P.T.O. lamp on the instrument
panel will illuminate to confirm activation.
With the 3 point hitch in the lowered position and the

P.T.O. engaged, the Auto lamp will remain on.
Raising the implement will disconnect P.T.O. drive
and cause the Auto lamp to flash. Lowering the
implement will re--engage P.T.O. drive, the Auto lamp
will cease to flash and will remain on.
Depressing the Auto P.T.O. switch again will 64

de--activate the function and the Auto lamp will
extinguish.
NOTE: The Auto P.T.O. function will be de--activated

every time the key start is switched off.
3--47
Auto P.T.O. De--Activation
With either Electronic Draft Control or Mechanical

Draft Control, Auto P.T.O. will be de--activated should
one or more of the following occur:
• The tractor speed is above 0.5 Km/h (0.3 MPH)
with the 3 point hitch in the raised position for
more than 2 minutes.
• With the 3 point hitch raised, the tractor speed
falls below 0.5 Km/h (0.3 MPH), or the tractor is
stationary for more than 10 seconds with the
3--point hitch in the raised position.
• If one of the external switches for P.T.O. or 3 point
hitch are operated.
• The P.T.O. is switched off using the internal or
external switches.
• Operating both internal and external P.T.O.
switches simultaneously.
• Ground drive P.T.O. is selected.
• The operator leaves the seat for more than 2
minutes with Auto P.T.O. activated and the 3
point hitch in the raised position.
To re--activate Auto P.T.O., clear the error and

re--engage the function as previously described.
NOTE: The Auto P.T.O. function will be de--activated

every time the key start as switched off.
CHANGING THE P.T.O. OUTPUT SHAFT
Using a suitable tool, compress and remove the

circlip (1) from the P.T.O. housing and carefully
withdraw the P.T.O. stub shaft.
With the shaft removed, check the ’O’ ring seal in the
P.T.O. housing for any damage. Replace ’O’ ring if
worn or damaged.
Thoroughly clean the replacement stub shaft before

inserting it into the housing. Replace the circlip
ensuring it engages fully with the groove in the P.T.O.
housing.
65
Protect the removed shaft by wrapping in a clean
cloth and place in the tool box.
3--48
EXTERNAL P.T.O. CONTROLS

(where fitted)
An optional, fender-mounted P.T.O. switch (1), may

be installed on both rear fenders to facilitate
stationary P.T.O. operations.
With the engine running, touch the switch

momentarily to cause the P.T.O. shaft to index round.
If the switch is pressed for less than 5 seconds, the
shaft will stop turning when the switch is released.
Press and hold in the switch for more than 5 seconds

and the P.T.O. will operate continuously. Press the 66
switch again to stop the P.T.O. Alternatively, the
P.T.O. may be stopped by means of the in-cab
controls, as previously described.
NOTE: The warning light, on the P.T.O. control

panel, will illuminate when the P.T.O. is engaged,
momentarily or permanently.
NOTE: The P.T.O. may be engaged or disengaged

from the fender switch, whether the in-cab control is
in the on or off position.
NOTE: Simultaneous operation, within two seconds,

of in cab and external P.T.O. controls will result in an
error code showing in the central LCD. A 10 second
delay will also occur before P.T.O. control operation
will recommence.
NOTE: The soft start function will operate

irrespective of whether the P.T.O. is engaged from
inside the cab or from a fender switch.
3--49
WARNING
Before leaving the tractor to operate the external
Power Take Off switches:
• Move all transmission controls to neutral.
• Disengage the P.T.O.
• Apply the parking brake.
With the engine running, move the hand throttle lever
to the low idle position (fully rearwards).
The operator must only activate the external Power

Take Off switches (1) while standing to the side of the
tractor (outboard of the rear tyres). Operation of the
in cab and external P.T.O. switches should not be
carried out simultaneously.
WARNING
Before using the external Power Take Off switches,
ensure that no person or object is in the area of the
implement, 3-point linkage or P.T.O.shaft.
Never operate the external switches while standing:
• Directly behind the tractor or tyres.
67
• Between the lower links.
• On or near the implement.
• Never extend arms, legs, any part of the body or

any object into the area near the 3-point linkage,
P.T.O. shaft or implement while operating 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.
3--50
FRONT P.T.O. and THREE--POINT HITCH

(where fitted)
Tractors with four wheel drive may be equipped with

an engine-driven P.T.O. and front hydraulic lift.
These features are available as a factory installed
option or dealer installed accessory.
FRONT P.T.O.
The front power take--off (P.T.O.) transfers engine

power directly to front-mounted equipment via a 6
spline shaft. The P.T.O. shaft rotates anti-clockwise
(as viewed from the front).
NOTE: A 21 spline shaft is available as a dealer

installed accessory.
A plastic cap (1) is provided over the P.T.O. shaft. Pull

the cap to remove.
NOTE: With the engine stopped, the P.T.O. brake is 68

released and the shaft may be turned by hand to aid
implement shaft alignment.
The front P.T.O. is electro--hydraulically operated

and is activated by a selector knob on the right-hand
console, similar to the rear P.T.O.

(2) will be illuminated. Open the throttle to increase
engine speed to 2120 rev/min and provide a P.T.O.
shaft speed of 1000 rev/min. To disengage the
P.T.O., press the P.T.O. selector knob (1), down.

knob is reset. Return the selector knob manually to
the ‘off’ position (by pressing the knob down) then
re-engage the P.T.O., as previously described.
69
DANGER
To avoid inadvertent movement of the implement,
3--51
FRONT THREE--POINT HITCH

(where fitted)
The optional front hitch consists of an adjustable top

link (1) and a pair of folding lower links (2). The top
link and the lower links have open claw ends that
permit rapid coupling and uncoupling of implements.
The claws are equipped with self-locking latches to
ensure positive retention of the tractor linkage to the
implement.
70
Three ball-bushings are supplied for installation on the
implement, if required.
71
Operating the Front Linkage
The front hitch may be controlled through the rear

remote valves, or by a dedicated mid-mounted twin
spool remote valve.
-- with mechanical rear remote valves:

Using valves I or II at the rear of the tractor, operation
of the front hitch may be controlled via the remote
valve levers.
With the front linkage connected to valve number I,

pull the lever rearwards (R) to raise the front linkage.
Move the lever to (N) to halt linkage movement, the
linkage will maintain its height position. Select (L) to
lower the linkage. With the lever in the float position
(F), the linkage can move up and down (float)
allowing the implement to follow the ground
contours.
72
3--52
If the implement requires additional hydraulic

services, these may be connected to any unused
remote valve. However, for convenience, it is
recommended the second valve (II) is used for this
purpose.
As an alternative, the levers operating remote valves

I and II may be replaced by a joystick located in a
forward position on the right--hand side of the
operators seat.
IMPORTANT: With the joystick operating the rear

remote valves, a float position (F) is available by
moving the lever fully to the right. This function is not
available when operating with a mid--mounted
2--spool remote valve.
73
-- with Electro Hydraulic remote valves:
Electro Hydraulic valves may be used to operate the

front hitch using the remote valve lever or electronic
joystick (where fitted). The Electro Hydraulic levers
function in a similar way to the mechanical levers.
The standard default valve to operate the hitch will

always be valve number IIII. However, it is possible
to set the default to alternative remote valve if
required.
The default valve (IIII) is programmed to operate in

conjunction with the front hitch height limiter. If an 74
alternative valve is used, the height limiter will not
function until the new valve has been programmed.
To reset the default valve, the tractor must be

stationary with the parking brake applied, ensure all
hydraulic lines are disconnected from the remote
valve couplings.
3--53
• Ensure all EHR timer switches (1), are in the off

position.
• Turn the key--start on, but do not start the engine.
• Depress the timer switch for remote valve No.1
then, within five seconds, depress the timer
switch for valve No. 2.
• ’FEhr’ will appear in the Dot Matrix Display, after
two seconds this will change to show the current
default valve, for example ’Ehr4’.
• Choose the new default valve and depress the

timer switch for that valve three times, the display
will change to show the new selection, for 75
example ’Ehr1’.
• Turn the key--start off, the new default valve for
front linkage operation is now memorised.
NOTE: For programming procedures on EHR

remote valves, see page 3--66.
With twin spool mid mounted remote valve:

(where fitted)
The optional mid mount remote valve is controlled by

a joystick located on the right--hand side of the seat.
The mid mount valve provides two additional double
acting services, one of which may be utilised to
operate the front hitch.
Pull the joystick rearwards (R) to raise the

implement. When the hydraulic lift reaches the
height set by the height limit rotary control the
joystick will return automatically to neutral (N).
Alternatively, the hydraulic lift will stop raising when 76
the joystick is manually returned to the neutral
position. Moving the joystick fully rearward against
spring pressure will provide a faster rate of lift.
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 cylinder to extend or
retract freely. When in the float position, pushing the
joystick fully forward against spring pressure will
slow the movement of the cylinder.
NOTE: Always use the ’float’ position to lower a

single--acting cylinder. The ’lower’ position is for
double--acting cylinders only.
3--54
The joystick may also be moved laterally, (R) and (L),

to provide oil flow for equipment connected to the
optional front couplers.
NOTE: With the joystick operating the rear remote

valves, a float (F) position is available by moving the
lever fully to the right. This float facility is not
available when operating with a mid--mounted
2--spool remote valve.
The joystick has the added advantage of being able

to operate two cylinders simultaneously by moving it
diagonally.
77
IMPORTANT: When operating with a hydraulic
motor always use ‘lower’ and ’float’ positions to
control motor rotation. To stop the motor, move the
lever from the ‘lower’ (drive) position to the ‘float’
position. The motor will then slow to a gradual halt
and not stop abruptly which may cause internal
damage to the motor.
The joystick safety lock lever is used to prevent

accidental operation of the remote valve(s).
The safety lock on the joystick has three positions:
1. Fully out. All joystick movements available.

2. Mid Position. Lateral movement locked out.
3. Fully in. All joystick movements locked.
78
Setting the Height of the Front Hitch
Height limit control is provided by a rotary knob (1) on

the right-hand console. Fully clockwise is maximum
height. Turn anti-clockwise for minimum height.
NOTE: The height limit setting is affected by the oil

flow through the system. For example, if the flow
control setting is set to maximum and engine speed
is high then hitch height may be up to 100 mm (4 in.)
higher than would be achieved if engine speed and
oil flow rate were low.
79
3--55
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 inserting the
lock pin (2) through the top link and anchor bracket.
Secure the pin with the spring clip as shown.
80
Each lower link pivots about the pivot bolt (2). The
pivot bolt should not be removed unless it is required
to remove the lower links. Extract the lower pin (3)
from the link assembly and raise the lower link (1) to
the vertical position, as shown. Insert the pin through
the upper hole in the inner link arm when the holes
in the inner and outer links (4) are correctly aligned.
Before operating the tractor ensure both pins are
secured with lynch--pins.
81
To convert to the working position, remove the

lynch--pin, pull out the pin (5) and manually lower the
link arm down to the operating position, as shown.
Install the removed pin in one of the holes (6) or (7),
as required.
When installed in the rear hole (6) as shown, the

lower link will be locked as a rigid unit. If the pin is
installed in the front hole (7), 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 with
the lynch--pin.
Repeat on the other lower link, ensuring that both 82

lower links are set up the same, i.e., both are locked
as rigid units or both are allowed to float.
3--56
NOTE: With the lower links pinned in the float

position, the left and right-hand sides of the
implement can move up and down independently to
allow for operation on uneven surfaces. In addition,
the remote control valve float function will allow the
whole implement to move up or down as it passes
over uneven ground.
Coupling Implement to Tractor
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.
83
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 engage the
ball-bushings on the implement. The lift control
should be returned to the neutral position before the
lower links start to lift the implement from the ground.
IMPORTANT: Before operating the tractor, ensure

the release latches (1), are fully retracted into the link
end.
84
Attach the top link to the implement, adjusting to the

correct length by rotating the threaded centre section
using the handle (3) as leverage. To prevent the
centre section from rotating while in work, place the
locking latch (1) over the pin (2) or adjuster handle
(3). 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 linkage.
85
3--57
The top link is connected to the bracket with the pin

(2) secured by the spring pin. Two holes are provided
in the top link bracket for location of the top link. Use
the top hole (1), as shown, for maximum lift capacity.
Use the lower hole (3), to provide the greatest
implement height, when raised.
86
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.
Pull the ring (1) on both lower links fully rearwards.

The lever will lock in position with the latch retracted.
This will allow the links to clear the ball-bushings on
the implement lower hitch pins when the links are 87
lowered fully.
Fully lower the lower links using the remote lever or

joystick and reverse the tractor clear of the
implement.
3--58
ELECTRONIC DRAFT CONTROL
NOTE: Depending on tractor specifiication, some

Electronic Draft Control features shown in this
section may not be fitted.
This system described here is known as Electronic

Draft Control. This electronically controlled hydraulic
system senses changes in the draft loading via
sensors in the lower link pins of the 3--point linkage
and changes in the position of the linkage via a
sensor on the cross shaft. The system functions in
Position Control or Draft Control.
Position Control provides accurate control of

implements, such as sprayers, rakes, graders, etc.,
that operate above the ground. Once implement
height has been set, the system will maintain the
selected position irrespective of any external forces
acting upon it.
Draft Control is designed for mounted or

semi-mounted implements operating in the ground.
Changes in soil resistance cause the draft loading on
the implement to increase or decrease.
Draft Control Operational Notes
Draft control sets the working depth in the soil by

maintaining a constant draft load. If the Position
Control lever (1), is set just below the normal Draft
Control working depth, it will prevent the implement
from ‘diving’ or working too deep if an area of soft or
light soil is encountered.
Position Control will override draft control when the

Position Control lever is moved above the working
depth set by the draft loading wheel (2). Therefore,
the Position Control lever can be used to lift the
implement out of the ground, from the normal Draft 88
Control working depth, without changing the Draft
Control setting.
This function can be useful when a gradual lift out is

required. The thumbwheel stop can be set so that the
Position Control lever can be returned quickly to a
lower limit position just below the normal Draft
Control working depth.
The raise/lower switch would normally be used to

raise or lower an implement during a work cycle.
3--59
Control Pod
The thumbwheel (1), when rotated, will move the

adjustable stop (2).
The position control lever (3), is used to set

implement height, when operating in Position
Control. Use it to set the maximum implement depth
when operating in Draft Control.
The draft loading wheel (4), determines the draft load

and therefore implement working depth by setting a
force on the draft sensitivity pins. Selecting position
10 will provide maximum load and therefore 89
maximum implement depth.
The raise/lower switch (5) Figure 89, is a three

position, spring centered switch that enables the
operator to rapidly raise the implement to the position
set by the height limit control and to lower the
implement back down to the working depth/height
set by the Position or Draft Controls, without
disturbing the settings. The switch also provides for
faster ground engagement, if required. For detailed
information, see text on page 3--66.
EDC Panel
The draft sensitivity control (1), is used to make the

system more sensitive or less sensitive to changes
in draft loading. Maximum sensitivity is obtained by
rotating the control fully clockwise.
The drop rate control (2), adjusts the speed at which

the three--point linkage drops during the lowering
cycle. Position 1 selects the slowest drop and is
denoted by the tortoise symbol, position 7 provides
the fastest rate of drop.
The height limit control knob (3), limits the height to 90

which the linkage may be raised. Adjust this knob to
avoid the possibility of a large implement damaging
the tractor when fully raised.
The slip limit control knob (4), 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 set
level.
3--60
Indicator Lights
The malfunction warning light (1), serves two

purposes:
-- Flashing light means that there is a malfunction
in the system circuits. This will be accompanied by
the hitch error symbol appearing in the Dot Matrix
Display.
-- Steady light signifies ‘hitch disabled’. Again, the
‘hitch disabled’ warning is repeated in the Dot Matrix
Display with the hitch symbol.
The indicator lights (2) and (3), operate when the
position control lever is used to raise or lower the 91
implement or as lift and lower corrections occur
during normal tractor operation. The lower light (3)
will illuminate when the 3--point linkage lowers. The
upper light (2) will illuminate when the linkage raises.
A slip limit ‘on’ indicator (4), illuminates when the

wheel slip limit control is activated.
Hitch Position Display
The digital display in the instrument panel indicates

the position of the lower links 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 CAL/SEL switch or the
Enhanced keypad (where fitted).
92
Malfunction Warning Light
In the unlikely event that a fault occurs in the EDC,

the malfunction warning light (1) Figure 91, will start
to flash. The warning light will be accompanied by the
appearance of the hitch symbol (1), and error code
(2), in the Dot Matrix Display.
93
3--61
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. In this event
your tractor will require the attention of your
authorised dealer.
A steady malfunction warning light signifies ‘hitch

disabled’ which is repeated in the Dot Matrix Display
by the apperance of the hitch symbol (1) and error
code ’1024’ (2).
The ‘hitch disabled’ warning light signifies that the

position control setting does not correspond to the
position of the lower links with the result that the
lower links cannot be raised or lowered using the
in-cab controls. The ‘hitch disabled’ warning will
display if:
• The Position Control lever has been moved with

the engine stopped. 94
• One of the external power lift switches has been

operated to raise or lower the three-point linkage.
See ‘External Hydraulic Power Lift Controls’ on
page 3--69.
To put the Position Control lever back into phase with

the lower links, place the raise/lower switch in the
central position and, with the engine running, move
the Position Control lever (1) slowly forward or
rearward, as required, until the position of the lever
matches the linkage height. The ‘hitch disabled’
warning light will go out and the hitch error symbol will
disappear from the Dot Matrix Display. The 3--point
linkage will now raise or lower normally.
95
3--62
PRE--OPERATION SETTINGS
Attach the implement to the 3--point linkage.
Turn the draft loading wheel (2) fully forward to

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

(1), raise the implement in stages, ensuring that
there is at least 100 mm (4 in.) clearance between the
implement and any part of the tractor. Note the digital
display reading on the instrument panel. If the
reading is less than ‘99’ it means that the implement
is not fully raised. 96
Adjust the height limit control knob (2) to prevent the

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

lever is used to raise the implement, it will only raise
to the height set by the height limit control, as
determined in the previous step.
Adjust the rate of drop, to suit the size and weight of

the attached implement, by rotating the drop rate
control knob (1). Turn the knob clockwise to speed up
the drop rate or anti-clockwise to slow down the drop 97
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--63
DRAFT CONTROL OPERATION
To operate in Draft Control adjustment of several

controls is necessary to suit the implement and field
conditions.
The draft loading wheel (2), determines implement

depth by setting a required force on the draft sensing
pins Set the wheel to the mid-position (position 5)
prior to commencing work.
98
The position of the draft sensitivity knob (1),

determines the sensitivity of the system. Set the
knob to the mid-position before entering the field.
99
Drive the tractor into the field and lower the

implement into work by moving the Position Control
lever (3), forward. Use the Position Control lever to
set the maximum depth and so prevent ‘diving’ when
areas of light soil are encountered. Set the required
implement working depth by rotating the draft loading
wheel (4).
Rotate the thumbwheel (1) to move the adjustable

stop (2) against the Position Control lever so that the
selected setting may be quickly found.
100
3--64
Observe the implement as it pulls through the soil

and adjust the draft sensitivity knob (1), until the
tendency to raise or lower, due to variations in soil
resistance, is satisfactory. Once set, the tractor
hydraulic system will automatically adjust implement
depth to maintain an even pull (draft load) on the
tractor.
The optimum setting will be achieved by observing

the movement indicator lights (2) and (3). The upper
light (2) will illuminate every time the system raises
the implement as normal draft corrections occur. The
lower light (3) will illuminate as the implement lowers.
101
Turn the draft sensitivity knob (1) slowly clockwise.

The system will respond with smaller, quicker
movements as will be seen by both the indicator
lights flickering. At this point, turn the knob slightly
anti-clockwise until either of the indicator lights
flashes once every 2 or 3 seconds or, as required, to
suit the soil conditions.
Once the required working conditions have been

established there is no need to move the position
control lever again until the work in hand is
completed.
102
Upon reaching the headland, momentarily depress

the top of the raise/lower switch (3) to quickly lift the
implement to the position set by the height limit
control knob. When re-entering the working area,
momentarily depress the lower part of the switch and
the implement will descend at the rate set by the drop
rate control knob and stop when it reaches the depth
set by the draft loading wheel (2).
During the raise cycle, momentarily depressing the

top of the raise/lower switch will pause implement lift.
Depress the top of the switch again to resume the
cycle.
103
Depressing the lower part of the switch during the
lowering cycle will also pause implement drop.
3--65
Faster implement penetration may be required, for

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

the implement depth. When the required implement
104
depth has been established, rotate the thumbwheel
(1). This will move the stop (2) so that it is against the
front edge of the position control lever (3). Whenever
the implement is raised, using the Position Control
lever, it will always return to the same working depth
when the lever is moved forward to contact the stop.
NOTE: If required, the Position Control may be

eased sideways (to the left), in order to bypass the
stop, to lower the implement further.
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. The system overrides the normal Draft
and Position Control sensing signals of the
hydraulics so care must be taken not to select too low
or too high a slip limit. Setting the slip limit to a very
low level, unobtainable in wet conditions, may have
a detrimental effect on the work rate/depth.
105
The slip limit ‘on’ indicator (2) will illuminate when slip
control is activated and the implement is raising to
restore the selected slip rate. The knob is detented
at the ‘off’ position (knob fully clockwise).
106
3--66
POSITION CONTROL OPERATION
To operate in Position Control, the draft loading

wheel (4) should, ideally, be rotated fully forward to
position 10.
Use the Position Control lever (3) to raise and lower

the 3--point linkage. 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 107
Position Control lever, implement movement will be
slower.
When the implement is at the required working

height, use thumbwheel (1) to set the adjustable stop
(2) against the Position Control lever (3). Every time
the Position Control lever is moved, it may be quickly
returned to it’s original position, against the stop, to
maintain the required implement height.
If it is required to raise the implement at the headland,

momentarily depress the top of the raise/lower
switch (5), to lift the implement to the position set by
the height limit control knob. When re-entering the
work area, depress the lower part of the switch and
the implement will return to the height originally set
by the Position Control lever (3).
3--67
TRANSPORT LOCK
When transporting equipment on the 3-point linkage,

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

implement bounce can lead to lack of steering control
at transport speeds. With Ride Control selected,
when the front wheels hit a bump, causing the front
of the tractor to rise, the hydraulic system will
immediately react to counter the movement and
minimise implement bounce to provide a smoother
ride.
To engage Ride Control, turn the draft sensitivity

knob (1), fully anti-clockwise. Using the raise/lower
switch (4) Figure 109, raise the implement to the 108
height set by the height limit control (3).
Turn the drop rate control knob (2) fully

anti-clockwise to the transport lock position (padlock
symbol).
Ride Control will only operate at speeds above 8 kph

(5 MPH). When tractor speed exceeds 8 kph (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 kph (5 MPH) the
implement will raise again to the height set by the
height limit control and Ride Control will become
inoperative.
109
3--68
EXTERNAL THREE--POINT HITCH CONTROLS

(where fitted)
An external, rocker type switch (1) is provided on

each rear fender assembly. The switches are of a
three-position design, spring-loaded to return to the
central, off position.
WARNING
Do not stand on or near the implement or between
the implement and tractor when operating the
external hydraulic power lift controls.
110
Before leaving the tractor to operate the external
switches:
• Move the gearshift levers to neutral.
• Disengage the P.T.O.
• Apply the parking brake.
With the engine running, move the hand throttle lever

to the low idle position (fully rearwards).
WARNING
Before using the external hydraulic power lift
switches, ensure that no person or object is in the
area of the implement or 3-point linkage.
Never operate the external switches while standing:
• Directly behind the tractor or tyres.
• Between the lower links.
• On or near the implement.
WARNING
Never extend arms, legs, any part of the body or any
object into the area near the 3-point linkage or
implement while operating the external switch.
111
3--69
Never have an assistant working the opposite set of

controls. When moving to the opposite set of
controls, move around the tractor or implement. Do
not cross between the implement and tractor.
The operator must only activate the external

switches while standing to the side of the tractor
(outboard of the rear tyres).
Pressing the upper part of the rocker switch (1) will

cause the lift linkage to raise slowly. Pressing the
lower part will cause the linkage to lower. When the
lower links align with the implement, release the
switch and attach the implement to the 3-point
linkage in the normal way.
To transfer control of the hydraulic power lift back to

the lift control lever, move the lift control lever fully
rearwards and push forward again, more slowly. The
‘hitch enabled’ symbol will display in the instrument
panel, indicating that the 3-point linkage is in phase
with the lift control lever (see page 3--62).
112
IMPORTANT: When control of the 3-point linkage 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.
3--70
HYDRAULIC REMOTE CONTROL VALVES
WARNING
Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure can
penetrate the skin causing serious injury. If any fluid
is injected into the skin, obtain medical attention
immediately or gangrene may result.

piece of cardboard or paper.

connecting or disconnecting hydraulic lines.
• Tighten all connections before starting the

Hydraulic remote control valves are available to

operate external hydraulic cylinders, motors etc. All
models have two valves as standard, installed at the
rear of the tractor adjacent to the top link.
On tractors with four valves, the first and second

valves may be controlled by levers or by a 4--way
joystick control mounted to the right of the operator’s
seat.
Each control lever is coloured to correspond to the

colour marking on the remote valve.
113
Control Levers
Each valve is controlled by a separate lever providing

four operating positions, raise (R), neutral (N), lower
(L) and float (F). The levers and their respective
valves are colour coded for identification.
Move the lever rearward from the neutral position

and the cylinder will extend to raise the implement.
Push the lever forward, past neutral, to retract or
lower the cylinder. Pushing it fully forward, beyond
the ‘retract’ position, will select ‘float’ which will
permit the cylinder to extend (raise) or retract (lower)
freely, thereby allowing equipment such as scraper 114
blades to ‘float or follow the ground contour.
3--71
Joystick Control (where fitted)
The joystick (1), actuates valves I and II, operating

in a cross pattern.
Moving the joystick backwards and forwards in a

straight line actuates valve No. I.
Moving the joystick sideways in a straight line

actuates valve No. II.
Moving the joystick diagonally will actuate both

valves simultaneously. By applying directional bias,
one valve can be made to actuate at a faster or 115
slower rate than the other.
Move the joystick rearward from the neutral position

and the cylinder connected to valve No. I will extend
to raise the implement. Push the joystick forward,
past neutral, to retract (lower) the cylinder. Pushing
it fully forward, beyond the ‘retract’ position, will
select ‘float’ which will permit the cylinder connected
to remote control valve No. I to extend or retract
freely, thereby allowing equipment such as scraper
blades to ‘float or follow the ground contour.
Move the joystick to the left from the neutral position

and the cylinder connected to valve No. II will extend
to raise the implement. Move the joystick to the right,
past neutral, to retract the cylinder. Move the it fully
to the right, beyond the ‘retract’ position, will select
‘float’ which will permit the cylinder connected to
remote control valve No. II to extend or retract freely.
The joystick and it’s respective valves are colour

coded for identification.
3--72
Joystick Lock
The lever lock provides selective control of the

joystick. With the lock pushed fully in, position (1), the
joystick is fixed in neutral and the remote valves
cannot be operated, either by accident or by choice.
If the lock is pulled fully out, position (3), valves I and

II may be operated independently or together by
moving the joystick control in the appropriate
direction.
In the intermeadiate position (2), lateral movement of

the joystick that operates valve II is locked. 116
Joystick or Lever Controls
The extend (raise), neutral, retract (lower) and float

positions are identified by symbols on a decal next to
the joystick and/or control levers.
A detent will hold the joystick/lever in the selected

extend or retract position until the remote cylinder
reaches the end of the stroke when the control lever
will automatically return to neutral. Alternatively, the
lever may be returned to neutral manually. The lever
will not return automatically from the float position.
NOTE: Do not hold the joystick/lever in the extend or 117

retract position once the remote cylinder has
reached the end of the stroke as this will cause the
relief valve to ‘blow’. Forcing oil through the relief
valve for extended periods will overheat the oil and
may lead to failure of hydraulic and driveline
components.
3--73
Configurable Detent Operation

(where fitted)
Your tractor may be fitted with two remote valves

having configurable detents. The rotary control (1),
is used to select one of five detent settings.
To select a setting, rotate the control until the number

(2), on the end cap, aligns with the mark (1), on the
valve body.
NOTE: If the number on the rotary control is not

aligned correcty with the reference mark on the valve
body, the performance of the valve may be affected. 118
Before turning the selector, ensure any residual

pressure in the hydraulic system is exhausted. To do
this, stop the tractor engine, cycle the remote valve
lever through all positions and then place the lever in
neutral.
Each position offers the follwing functions:

Flow Control
The flow control valve (1), meters the flow of oil to the
remote cylinder and thus controls the rate of
response of the cylinder. Rotate the flow control
anti--clockwise to increase the oil flow to the
implement, rotate clockwise to reduce the oil flow.
For flow rates, see Section 8 -- Specifications.
119
Operating with a Front Loader
If your tractor is fitted with a non New Holland front

loader, the rear remote valves may be used to
provide the hydraulic power.
For loader control it is recommended that remote

valves 1 and 2 are fitted with a joystick and converted
to non detent operation (position 1 with adjustable
detents).
See Accessories, Section 7 for details on Zero

Detent kits for non adjustable remote valves
120
Remote Valve Couplers
Each remote control valve has a pair of 1/2 in.

quick-disconnect, female couplers. These are of a
self--sealing/locking design but will allow remote
cylinder hoses to pull free if the implement should
become disconnected from the tractor. The raise (lift)
coupler (1), is on the left--hand side, the lower (drop)
coupler (2), on the right--hand side.
The flip--up covers are colour coded black, brown,

blue and green to corresponding to the control levers
in the cab.
121
3--75
Connecting Remote Cylinders
WARNING
Before connecting or disconnecting hydraulic hoses
at the remote cylinders, stop the engine and relieve
the pressure in the circuit by moving the remote
control valve lever(s) or joystick fully forward to the
‘float’ position then back to neutral. Never work under
or allow anyone near raised equipment as it will drop
when relieving pressure in the system.
WARNING
Before disconnecting cylinders or equipment ensure
the equipment or implement is supported securely.
To connect a remote cylinder, lift the hinged cover(1),

until it locks in the raised position, insert the feed
and/or return hose through the slit in the secondary
dust cover, ensuring it is correctly seated in the
coupler. Ensure that there is sufficient slack in the
hose(s) to allow the tractor/implement to turn in
either direction.
IMPORTANT: Before connecting remote cylinder

hoses, stop the engine and thoroughly clean the
connections to prevent oil contamination.
122
3--76
To equalise the pressure in the hose and tractor

couplers, start the engine and move the joystick or
valve control lever (1), to the ‘float’ position, then
return it to neutral. To disconnect, grip the hose a
short distance from the coupler, push the hose
forward, into the coupler, then quickly pull on the
hose to ‘pop’ the coupler free. Close the hinged cover
to protect the valve.
WARNING
Never work under equipment supported by a
hydraulic device because it may drop if the control is
actuated (even with the engine stopped) or in the
event of hose failure. Always use a secure support 123
for equipment which must be serviced while in the
raised position.
NOTE: Remote cylinders are operated by oil drawn

from the tractor hydraulic system, therefore, always
check and replenish the hydraulic system oil after
remote cylinder equipment has been connected and
cycled a few times. Operating the tractor with a low
oil level may result in damage to the rear axle and
transmission components.
When topping up the rear axle to accommodate the

requirement of remote cylinders, no more than 20
litres (5.28 U.S. Gallons) should be added to bring
the oil level up to the full mark on the dipstick.
Alternatively, remote cylinders with a total oil

capacity of up to 18 litres (4.75 U.S. Gallons) may be
connected to the tractor hydraulic system without
adding oil, provided that the tractor is being operated
on level ground.
3--77
Operating Double-Acting Cylinders
Connect the feed hose (1) between the piston end of

a double-acting cylinder and the left--hand coupler on
the remote control valve. Connect the hose (2)
between the right--hand coupler on the same valve
and the rod end of the cylinder. To extend a
double-acting cylinder, move the control lever or
joystick to the ‘extend’ (raise) position.
To retract a double-acting cylinder, move the control

lever or joystick through neutral to the ‘retract’ (lower)
position.
124
Further movement of the lever or joystick, beyond

the ‘retract’ position, will select ‘float’ which will allow
the cylinder to extend or retract freely. This feature
is of material assistance when carrying out work with
equipment such as scraper blades and loaders.
125
Operating Single-Acting Cylinders
Connect the hose (1) from a single-acting cylinder to

the left--hand coupler (2) on the remote control valve.
To extend a single-acting cylinder, move the control

lever or joystick to the ‘extend’ (raise) position.
Manually return the lever or joystick to the neutral

position to stop the cylinder before it is fully extended
or allow the valve to return to the neutral
automatically when the cylinder reaches the end of
it’s stroke.
126
To retract a single-acting cylinder, move the lever or
joystick beyond the ‘retract’ (lower) position to the
‘float’ position.
3--78
IMPORTANT: Always use the ‘float’ position to

retract a single-acting cylinder. The ‘retract’ position
is for double-acting cylinders only.
NOTE: If a single-acting cylinder is disconnected in

the extended position, while supporting a load, the
hose may be reconnected to the remote control valve
but will not operate until the pressure is released.
Proceed as follows:
• Connect the hose, as described above.
• Start the engine and momentarily pressurise the

cylinder by moving the remote control valve 127
lever/joystick to the extend position and then
immediately to the float position to retract the
cylinder and lower the implement.
Operating Continuous Flow Hydraulic

Equipment
Continuous flow hydraulic equipment (e.g. hydraulic

motors) should be connected to a remote control
valve coupler with the feed hose (2) connected to the
right--hand coupler and the return hose (1)
connected to the left--hand coupler of the same
valve.
With the remote control valve lever or joystick in the

‘float’ position the motor will be stationary. The
hydraulic motor will operate if the lever or joystick is
moved to the ‘retract’ (lower) position.
128
IMPORTANT: To stop the motor, move the lever or
joystick to the ‘float’ position. The motor will then slow
to a halt and not stop abruptly causing internal line
pressures which could damage the motor seals.
Observe the following to further protect the tractor

and equipment:
• Do not open any by-pass valve in the equipment
or motor. Use the flow control valve to control the
rate of flow or speed of the motor.
• To assure optimum hydraulic oil cooling and
prevent overheating, operate continuous flow
equipment at the highest flow setting (by use of
the flow control valve (1), and lowest engine
speed that will give the required machine
performance and speed.
129
3--79
• It is recommended that a temperature gauge, Bleeding Remote Cylinders

where available, is installed in the remote circuit
when using hydraulic motors for continuous When connecting a cylinder with trapped air, i.e., a

Operating Several Remote Valves

Simultaneously or Remote Valves and
Hydraulic Lift Simultaneously
NOTE: The hydraulic load-sensing system on your

tractor adjusts the oil flow according to the individual
flow control settings up to the maximum output
possible, dependent upon engine speed. The oil flow
will be relatively constant in the remote control valve
circuits if the flow control valves are used to regulate
the flow, thus providing constant operating speed for
hydraulic motors, etc., even if engine speed varies.
Maintain the engine speed above the minimum
required for simultaneous operation of all the
required circuits and vary ground speed by selection
of the appropriate gear ratio.
If operating two or more remote control valves

simultaneously or remote valves and the hydraulic
lift, all the flow control valves should be adjusted to
provide a partial flow. If not so adjusted, all the
available flow may be directed to the full flow circuit
when the pressure in that circuit is less than that of
the other circuits in use.
3--80
ELECTRO--HYDRAULIC REMOTE
CONTROL VALVES (where fitted)
NOTE: The Electro--hydraulic remote valves are

only available in conjunction with the Enhanced
keypad.
The electro--hydraulic remote valves operate in a

similar manner to the mechanical valves previously
described. However, with these remote valves, a
number of additional automated functions are
available, supported by visual displays in the Dot
Matrix screen.
Remote Valve Isolator Switch

The remote valves cannot be operated unless the
system is energised using the isolator switch (1).
Depress the lower part of the switch to activate the
electrical circuit, depress the upper part to
de--activate. When activated, the amber warning
light (2) will be illuminated. The remote valve(s) are
now operational whenever the tractor engine is
running.
IMPORTANT:The isolator switch may be used to

immediately stop operation of the rear remote valves
by depressing the top of the switch. The isolator
switch will only control the remote valves, it has no 130
effect on three point linkage operation.
Control Levers
Each remote valve lever has four positions, extend,

neutral, retract, and float. In extend and retract
modes, the detented positions are used for timed
remote valve functions.
Pull the lever back from the neutral position, (N), to
the “extend” (Raise) position, (R). From neutral, push
forward to the “retract” (Lower) position, (L). Push
the lever fully forward to the Float position, (F). Float
will permit the cylinder to extend or retract allowing
equipment such as scraper blades to “float” or follow
the ground contour.
131
The “float” position is also used for retracting a
single-acting cylinder and is the OFF position for
hydraulic motors.
3--81
CAUTION
Electro Hydraulic Remote Control Valves have
detented lever positions. It is not recommended
these control valves be used for front loader
operation. Consult your authorised dealer.
IMPORTANT: In the unlikely event that the remote

valve ceases to operate or responds incorrectly to
lever movements, the system will require the
attention of your authorised dealer.
Each control lever has a ’rolling gate’ which is used

to select or lock--out individual remote valve
functions. Detents on the lever (1) will lock the ’gate’
in one of five positions.
I. Neutral and Raise locked out: Lower and Float

functional. Move the lever into float before
selecting this position.
II. Raise detent locked out: Neutral, Lower and
Float functions operative.
III. All valve functions are operative.
IV. Float locked out: Raise, Neutral and Lower 132

functional.
V. Lever locked in neutral: No valve functions are
available.
Visual Displays
Depress the remote valve key on the keypad and the

following information will be displayed in the DMD for
each valve:
1. Momentary oil flow from the valve. The shaded

area represents the percentage of oil flow, this
will change as the flow increases or decreases.
2. Maximum flow rate (%) as set by the operator.

The extend/retract directional arrows represent 4 3
the maximum flow setting.
133
3. Number of the remote valve in operation.
4. Direction of cylinder movement, extend (Raise)

or retract (Lower). The direction of cylinder travel
is identified by the arrow.
3--82
Setting the Maximum Flow Rate
The maximum flow rate for each remote valve can be

set using the menu keys on the Enhanced keypad.
To adjust the remote valve flow rate, the key--start

must be switched ON.
Using the remote valve key (1), select the

appropriate valve (1, 2, 3, or 4).
134
With the selected valve number displayed in the

DMD, Use the MENU UP/DOWN keys (1 and 2), to 1
increase or decrease the maximum flow rate of the
selected valve. The flow rate will be stored in the
tractor control module until re--programmed, turning
the key--start off will not erase the setting.
NOTE: The remote valve flow rate setting (1),

Figure 136, will apply to both extend and retract
movements of the cylinder.
IMPORTANT: During remote valve set--up, a pause 2

of more than two seconds in key operation will exit
set--up and return to the previous setting, re--enter 135
set--up mode again to continue.
136
3--83
Additional Displays
As each of the electro--hydraulic remote valve

functions are selected, a corresponding visual
display will appear in the Dot Matrix Screen.
NOTE: The following illustrations relate to remote

valve number 1, see page 3--82 for details on remote
valve numbering.

Manual and Programmable Lever Operation
The Enhanced keypad is used to select and

programme the timed functions for each of the
electro--hydraulic remote valves. As each remote
valve is selected using the remote valve key (1), a
visual display of the valve functions will appear in the
Dot Matrix screen.
Depress the key once to activate the remote valve

display in the DMD. Repeated operation of the key
will cycle through each valve display individually.
137
Manual Operation
When used in manual mode, without the timer

function, the electronic remote valves will operate in
a similar way to the mechanical valves previously
described.
IMPORTANT:Care must be taken when operating in

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 will overheat the 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.
In manual mode, oil flow through each valve is

adjusted using the flow rate setting as previously
described.
3--85
Timed Programme Operation
Timed programme operation is provided primarily for

operation of hydraulic cylinders. This feature allows
the operator to programme a time delay between
when the control levers are activated and when the
oil flow to the implement is stopped.
To operate the electronic remote valves in

programmed mode, depress the appropriate side of
timer control switch (2) as shown. When the switch
is depressed, the green light (1) adjacent to the
remote valve lever will start to flash. The system is
now in standby mode ready to accept a programme
138
sequence. The light will continue to flash for ten
seconds allowing the operator sufficient time to begin
the programming sequence. If a programme is not
started within this period, the system will
automatically de--activate, depress the timer control
switch again to re--start the sequence.
Programming a Double Acting Service
To programme the remote valves, first ensure the

cylinder hydraulic hoses are properly connected to
the appropriate rear remote valve. Start the tractor
engine and set at the normal operating speed in
which the cylinder is to be operated. This is important
as the programming of the control levers is based on
a time interval corresponding to the time it takes the
cylinder rod to extend and retract. Any change in
engine rpm will have an effect on hydraulic flow and
therefore the time taken for the cylinder to extend
and retract.
The timed period for control lever operation remains

the same regardless of oil flow, therefore consistent
operation is required for the system to function
correctly. Using the corresponding timer switch (1)
depress the switch so the light begins to flash. While
the light is flashing move control lever (2) to extend
the cylinder (R). At this point the light ceases to flash
and will remain on.
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 programming light will begin to
flash again indicating the retract phase of the cycle
should now be programmed. 139
3--86
Operate the control lever (2) to retract the cylinder

(L), and the programming light will cease to flash and
remain on. Hold the lever until the cylinder has
completed the retract cycle and then return to the
neutral position. After the second phase has been
programmed the light will remain on.
After the second phase has been completed and the

lever has been returned to neutral, the programme
will be automatically stored.
Repeat the above sequence to programme the

remaining control levers if required.
Programming of the control lever can be performed 140

in either sequence, extend/retract, retract/extend or
for one movement only, extend or retract. The
maximum allowable time span for any timed
operation is 30 seconds.
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 programme light flashing, move the remote

valve lever from neutral to the extend position (R).
When the cylinder has extended to the desired
position, manually return the lever to the neutral
position. To store the setting, depress the timer
switch. In single acting mode the sequence will NOT
be automatically stored.
141
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.
3--87
Setting Remote Valve Priority
A remote valve with oil flow priority will always take

precedence over other remote valves for hydraulic oil
flow. Irrespective of flow demand by the other valves,
the priority valve will always maintain a constant
output.
For implements requiring multiple remote valve

services, there may be a need for one of the valves
to have oil flow priority, i.e. to provide oil flow for a
hydraulic motor.
With Electro--Hydraulic remote valves, the operator 142

can select one remote valve as the priority valve.

NOTE: If the display shows EHr_, the remote valves

are not prioritised.
• Depress the EHR key repeatedly and the display

will scroll through each valve number, EHr1,
EHr2, etc.
• When the desired valve number is shown in the

display, depress the Exit/Cancel key (2)

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

extend (left--hand) coupler on the remote control
valve, as previously described.
To extend a single-acting cylinder, pull the control

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

stop the cylinder when it has reached the desired
position. (see page 3--87).
To retract a single-acting cylinder, move the lever

fully forward to the float (F) position. 144
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

lower a single-acting cylinder. The “retract” position
is for double-acting cylinders only.
Connecting Double-Acting Cylinders
Connect the feed hose from a double-acting cylinder

to the left--hand coupler (1) on the remote control
valve and the return hose to the right--hand coupler
(2), as previously described. To extend a double-act-
ing cylinder, pull the control lever back to the extend
position.
To retract a double-acting cylinder, push the control

lever forward past neutral to the retract position.
Further forward movement of the lever will select
float which will allow the cylinder to extend or retract
freely. This feature is very helpful when carrying out
work with equipment such as scraper blades and 145
loaders.
NOTE: To prevent cylinders creeping under load,

always connect the hose from the load supporting
side of the cylinder to the left--hand coupler.
3--90
Operating Continuous Flow Hydraulic

Equipment
Continuous flow hydraulic equipment (e.g., hydraulic

motors) should be connected to the lower (1st)
remote control valve couplers with the pressure hose
connected to the right--hand coupler and the return
hose connected to the low pressure return circuit
(see page 3--93, ’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 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 (Lower). To stop the motor,
move the lever from the lower position to the float
position. In the float position the motor will be able to
stop slowly, which will not damage the motor.
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.
Select position 1 on the rolling gate to lock out the
neutral and extend services (see page 3--82)
146
Observe the following to further protect the tractor
and equipment.
• 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.
• 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--91
Operating Several Remote Valves

Simultaneously or Remote Valves and 1
Hydraulic Lift Simultaneously
If operating two or more remote control valves

simultaneously or remote valves and the hydraulic
lift, the flow through the valves should be adjusted
using the enhanced keypad to provide a partial flow,
as previously described. If not so adjusted, all the
available flow may be directed to the full flow circuit
when the pressure in that circuit is less than that of
the other circuits in use. 2
NOTE: The oil flow (1), Figure 148, through remote 147
valve number one (lower valve) will always take
priority over the other valves. For equipment using
more than one remote valve, the hydraulic service
with the highest priority should be connected to valve
number one.
148
Bleeding Remote Cylinders
When connecting a cylinder with trapped air, i.e., a

new cylinder, one that has been out of service or one
that has had the hoses disconnected, it will be
necessary to bleed the cylinder to remove the air.
With the hoses connected to the remote control valve

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

operating a remote cylinder.
3--92
HYDRAULIC POWER BEYOND PORT for

EXTERNAL SERVICES (where fitted) 2
For implements or attachments requiring continuous

or high oil flows 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 variable flow hydraulic system that will,
through a sensing line, control oil flow from the main
1
tractor hydraulic pump.
149
IMPORTANT: Before attempting to remove any

blanking plugs or attach pipework, switch OFF the
engine and ensure the areas around the plugs and
pipe connections are thoroughly clean to prevent
contamination of the tractor hydraulic system.
P -- Pressure Line (1)

To connect the implement pressure line, remove the
plug (1) from the external services ’power beyond’
port below 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 150
maintained in the pressure line connected to this
port.
LS -- Load Sensing (LS) Line (2)

Connect the sensing line from the M12 x 1.5/11.5
(ISO 6149) port (2), to the implement control valve.
It is the sensing line which generates and controls the
oil pressure and flow from the tractor hydraulic pump.
When an implement control valve is operated, the
low standby pressure from port ’P’, is diverted down
the sensing line to ’switch on’ the tractor hydraulic
pump. In operation, the load sensing line constantly
monitors pressure and flow to ensure supply never
exceeds demand.
LS Port Location (2)

1. Figure 149, with mechanically operated remote
valves and Electronic Draft Control.
2. Figure 150, with electronically operated remote
valves and Electronic Draft Control.
3--93
To connect the load sensing line from the implement

a ’T’ piece will need to be inserted in to the hydraulic
line. Consult your authorised dealer.
IMPORTANT: To ensure correct operation of the

system, the implement control valve, when in
neutral, must be capable of directing the pressure
from the sensing line back to sump through the return
line (3) to the tractor. The hydraulic system will then
return to the low pressure standby mode.
R -- Return Oil Line (3)

The return oil line from the implement control valves
should be connected to the M27 x 2/19 (ISO 6149)
port (3). This will permit the oil to return directly back
into the tractor hydraulic system.
NOTE: Ensure the hoses have a suitable capacity to

accomodate the required oil flow, and that both the
sensing line and hoses are sufficiently long enough
to allow for implement movement or articulation
when in work.
3--94
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 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, 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 stationary equipment on level ground.

3--98
LIFT RODS, LOWER LINKS AND TOP LINK
Lower Links and Lift Rod Adjustment
Each lower link (3) has three holes for attachment of

the lift rods. When the tractor leaves the factory, the
lift rods (1) are connected to the rear hole in each
lower link to give maximum lift capacity. If required,
attach the lift rods to the front hole (nearest the
tractor) for maximum lift height. The centre hole
offers a compromise between the optimum lift height
and lift capacity.
152
Both left and right-hand lift rods have a slot at the

lower end which is used to provide a limited amount
of float on the lower link arms. For normal operation
the rectangular plate on the securing pin (1) is
positioned so the lift arm remains fixed in relation to
the lower link arm.
If the securing pin (1) is rotated through 90° as shown

in Figure 154, this will allow an implement limited
vertical movement independent of the tractor which
is a useful feature for the operation of wide
implements. After carrying out the adjustment
ensure the outer retaining plate and spring clip are
replaced and securely locked.
153
Before disconnecting a lift rod from the lower link,

lower attached equipment to the ground, apply the
handbrake and stop the engine. Prior to removing the
securing pin ensure that attached equipment is
correctly supported and that no residual pressure
remains in the hydraulic system.
With electronic draft control (EDC) this will require

moving the hydraulic lift control lever to the fully
lowered position before switching off the engine.
154
3--99
To increase or decrease lift rod length, rotate the

upper part of the lift rod by means of the handles on
the turnbuckle (1).
Before the turnbuckle can be rotated, it is necessary

to lift the turnbuckle to disengage the slot (2) from the
lug (3) 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
turnbuckle is fully down and that the slot engages
with the lug to prevent unintentional rotation. 155
IMPORTANT: When attaching mounted 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.
3--100
Top Link
The top link has a threaded centre section (3) , which,

when rotated, will shorten or lengthen the top link, as
required. Lift up the spring retainer (1) to allow the
centre section (3) to rotate. To ease adjustment, lift
the handle (2) 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 flush against
the sleeve.
156
When not in use, the top link can be removed and

stored or left in an upright position. Hook the ball end
of the handle (2), into the bracket (1) on the rear axle
housing, as shown.

conjunction with a hydraulic adjust right-hand lift rod
(2). Both the top link and the lift rod incorporate a
double--acting ram cylinder connected into No. IIII
remote control valve.
158
To lengthen the right-hand lift rod and move the lower

link downwards, pull No. IIII remote control valve
lever (2) towards you. Push the lever away from you,
past the neutral position to retract the cylinder and
shorten the right-hand lift rod.
To lengthen the top link, depress and hold in the

button (1) on No. IIII remote control valve lever (2)
and pull the lever towards you. Push the lever away
from you, past the neutral position to retract the
cylinder and shorten the top link assembly.
159
3--102
TOP LINK BRACKET
Draft loads are sensed by the lower links, therefore

the top link is attached to a bracket rigidly fixed to the
rear axle housing.
Two holes are provided in the bracket for attachment

of the top link. Insert the pin (1) through the upper
hole, as shown, for maximum lift capacity and the
greatest implement to cab clearance. Use the lower
hole (2) for the best ground penetration and greatest
implement to ground clearance (when the implement
is raised).
160
FLEXIBLE LINK ENDS (where fitted)
Pull the levers (1) up to release the link ends. With the
link ends released, connection to the implement will
be easier. The link end (2) is shown in the extended
position. The link end (3) is shown in the closed
(operating) position.
With both link ends extended, connect the link ends

to the equipment and secure with linch pins. Start the
engine and carefully inch the tractor rearwards until
both flexible link ends lock in the operating (closed)
position (3). Stop the engine and engage the parking
brake. 161
Attach the top link.
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.
162
3--103
QUICK HITCH
The quick hitch consists of an alternative pair of lower

links (1) and an adjustable top link (2). 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 linkage to the implement. Cables are
provided for attachment to the latches.
An adjustable spacer spring is available as an

accessory. The spring maintains the lower links at
the width setting required to match that of the 163
implement.
Three ball-bushings are supplied for installation on the

implement, if required. The ball-bushing with projecting
lips (1) should be installed on the implement upper
hitch pin. The two plain ball-bushings (3) with their
detachable guides (2) should be installed on the
implement lower hitch pins.
164
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. Alternatively, use the optional, adjustable spacer,
if available. The spacer consists of a closed spring, with
a rod screwed into one end. To adjust, remove the ‘R’
clip and disconnect the spacer rod from the bracket on
the right-hand lower link. Screw the rod into or out of
the spring to shorten or lengthen the assembly.
3--104
Place the top link in the transport position. With the

lower links fully lowered, the self-locking latches (1)
in the open position, as shown, reverse the tractor
until the lower link claw couplers are beneath the
implement hitch pins. The combination of large claw
openings and the guides on the implement
ball-bushes make accurate alignment of tractor to
implement unnecessary.
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 onto the upper implement ball-bush and
165
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 linkage.
Uncoupling Implement from Tractor
Using the hydraulic lift control, 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 (1) retracted.
This will allow the links to clear the ball-bushings on
the implement lower hitch pins when the links are 166
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 hydraulic linkage or
implement. When not in use, secure the cables to the
rubber strap on the rear right-hand side of the cab
frame.
3--105
TELESCOPIC STABILISERS
(round section type -- where fitted)
WARNING
Never operate steerable equipment unless the
telescopic stabilisers are correctly adjusted to
prevent excessive lateral movement.
Telescopic stabilisers control the sway of the lower

links and attached equipment when in work or when
being transported.
Each stabiliser consists of a round-section tube (3),

anchored by a pin (2) to a bracket (1) bolted to the
outer ends of the rear axle housing. A smaller
diameter inner section (4), attached to a bracket on 167
the lower links, is a loose, sliding fit within the outer
tube. The overall length of the stabiliser is
determined by the position of a pin (5) that passes
through holes in the tube and inner section.
The holes in the inner section and outer tube are

drilled at different centres so a wide range of
stabiliser settings may be achieved by passing the
pin through the most suitable pair of holes.
To adjust, attach the implement to the 3-point linkage

with the locating pin removed from both stabilisers.
When the implement is satisfactorily aligned, the
locating pins should be passed through any one of
the four holes in the outer tubes that align with one
of the holes in the sliding inner section. With the pins
inserted in this manner, both stabilisers will be locked
as rigid units and the implement will be prevented
from swaying both in work or when raised to the
168
transport position.
If the pin is removed from the front hole (1)

Figure 168, the front end of the stabiliser (3) will be
allowed to telescope and a limited degree of sway will
be permitted. The unused pin should be re-inserted
in one of the spare holes (2) of the inner section for
safe storage.
IMPORTANT: Always ensure locking pin is replaced

in front stabiliser hole when no implement is
attached.
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.
3--106
TELESCOPIC STABILISERS
(round section screw type -- where fitted)
WARNING
telescopic stabilisers are correctly adjusted to
Telescopic stabilisers control the sway of the lower

links and attached equipment when in work or when
being transported.
Each stabiliser consists of a tube (5), with a coupling

at each end. The front, sliding end (6) is attached to
a bracket (1) bolted to the outer end of the rear axle
housing. This coupling is a loose, sliding fit within the 169
tube. The overall length of the stabiliser is
determined by the position of a pin (3) that passes
through a hole in the tube. The rear end (4) is
attached to the 3--point linkage and is threaded to
provide fine adjustment.
To adjust, attach the implement to the 3-point linkage

with the locating pin removed from both stabilisers.
To remove the pin, pull back the securing clip. When 3 1
the implement is satisfactorily aligned, the locating
pin should then be passed through the holes and the
securing clip replaced. With the pin removed, the
tube may be rotated to provide fine adjustment and
the pin re-inserted.
With the pins inserted in the front holes, both

stabilisers will be locked as a rigid unit and the
implement will be prevented from swaying both in 2
work or or when raised to the transport position.
170
The front of each stabiliser is attached by a pin (2),
passing through holes in the mounting brackets. The
stabilisers are normally attached to the lower hole in
each bracket, to provide parallel lift.
IMPORTANT: The lower hole is the only hole to

which the stabilisers may be connected when locked
as a rigid unit, as described above, otherwise
damage to the lower links may occur when the
linkage is raised.
3--107
It may be desirable to allow equipment such as

ploughs etc., to sway from side to side.
3 1
If the pin is removed from the front hole, the front end
(1) of the stabiliser will be allowed to telescope and
a limited degree of sway will be permitted. The pin
should be re-inserted through the central hole, as
shown at (3) in Figure 170.
When the front of the stabiliser is attached to the

upper hole (2) in the front mounting bracket the
stabilisers will allow the implement to sway in work 2
with reduced sway when the implement is raised.
This feature provides greater implement control 171
when turning on the headlands of a field.
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.
3--108
AUTOMATIC STABILISERS
Automatic stabilisers may be fitted in place of the

standard telescopic stabilisers, described
previously.
WARNING
stabilisers are installed and correctly adjusted to
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 172
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
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--109
Adjusting the Stabilisers

In practice, the implement should be attached to the
three--point linkage with the cover (4) on both
stabilisers raised, so as to allow the stabilisers to
telescope freely.
Lift the locking/adjusting lever (2) up over the peg (1)
so that the lever is at right-angles to the stabiliser. Turn
the telescopic section, by means of the lever, so that
the threaded section (3) screws into or out of the
stabiliser. When the length is satisfactory, i.e., the notch
in the cover aligns with the lug on the stabiliser, lower
the lever back down over the peg and close the cover.
173
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.
3--110

Semi-mounted or trailed equipment may interfere
with the tractor rear tyres. If necessary, adjust
steering stops (four wheel drive only) or linkage
stabilisers.
NOTE: For implements that require hitch extensions

or interfere with the tractor clevis, remove and store
the clevis and hitch pin.
Always use a safety chain installed between the

tractor and implement hitch when transporting
equipment on the highway. See page 3--116.
3--112
SWINGING DRAWBARS
Two types of swinging drawbar are available. The

sliding type is illustrated in Figure 175. This drawbar
may be installed as part of a tow hitch or as an
independent unit.
The roller type, shown in Figure 178, 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 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 175, the drawbar is shown pinned in
the central position to prevent swinging.
Pin the drawbar to prevent swinging when pulling

equipment which requires accurate positioning and 175
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
Always secure the drawbar to prevent swinging
when transporting equipment or when operating any
but ground engaging equipment.
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.
3--113
All Countries Except North America
The front securing pin may be inserted in one of three

holes in the drawbar to vary the P.T.O. shaft to hitch

SAFETY CHAIN
When towing implements on public roads, use a

safety chain (2) with a tensile strength equal to or
greater than the gross weight of the implement to be
towed. This will control the implement (1) in case the
drawbar (3) and implement become disconnected.
After attaching the safety chain, make a trial run by

driving the tractor to the right and to the left for a short
distance to check the safety chain adjustment. If
necessary, re-adjust to eliminate a tight or loose
chain.
Check the implement operator’s manual for

implement weight and attaching hardware 180
specifications.
Safety chains, attaching hardware and chain guide

are available from your authorised dealer.

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 is provided,
adjustable for height.
The slider type frame is shown in Figures 182

and 183. Rotating pins in the tow pin assembly
engage in notches in the frame to secure the tow pin
at the required height. With this type of frame, a
second, fixed tow pin (piton) is available as an option. 181
The piton is installed at the bottom of the assembly.
Four types of tow pin assembly are available :--
• Non-swivelling tow pin.
• Heavy duty non-swivelling tow pin.

See Figure 183.
• Swivelling tow pin -- manual operation.

See Figure 187.
• Swivelling tow pin -- auto operation.

See Figure 189.
A swinging drawbar may also be provided as part of

the assembly. See ‘Sliding Type Swinging Drawbar’
on page 3--113 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--117
Slider Frame with non-swivelling Tow Pins

Swivelling Tow Pin -- Manual Engagement
To attach a trailer drawbar to the tow pin, remove the

‘R’ clip (1) Figure 187, 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.
The tow pin may be allowed to swivel after loosening

the socket-headed screw (1) Figure 188 on the side
of the tow pin assembly. This feature will permit a
trailer with a non-swivelling drawbar to articulate
relative to the towing tractor.
188
Swivelling Tow Pin -- Auto Engagement
The tow pin (2) Figure 189, 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. To actuate the cable release
pull up the lever (1), Figure 190.
189
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 189 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.
190
3--120
The tow pin may be allowed to swivel after loosening

the socket-headed screw (1) Figure 188 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.

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 linch 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 linch pin. The
security latch will ensure that the trailer cannot
become accidentally detached from the piton

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 and re-engage the notches in the frame. Lower
the P.T.O. guard. 193
IMPORTANT: 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 forwards 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).

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 slowly until
an audible click indicates the locking latches (1) have
engaged the cross tubes (3).
IMPORTANT: Ensure that the height limit control is

at the maximum height position. Failure to observe
this may result in the hitch failing to latch correctly.
Push the position control lever forward so that the

weight of the pick--up hitch (and attached implement)
is supported by the locking latches.
197
CAUTION
Before operating the tractor, visually check to ensure
the locking latches fully support the pick--up hitch by
slightly lowering the 3--point lift.
IMPORTANT: If difficulty is experienced in latching

or unlatching the hitch, refer to page 4--59 for
adjustments to the latching mechanism.
NOTE: The maximum static downward load on the

hitch hook (all types) must not exceed 3000 kg (6610
lb.)

always use the close-coupled drawbar position.
Alternatively, change to the hitch hook mode.
IMPORTANT: When supporting equipment on the 198

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).
3--124
Drop Down Pick--Up Hitch (where fitted)
The hook on the drop down hitch is interchangeable

with the clevis drawbar.
To change from the hook to drawbar, lower the

pick--up hitch, extract the two securing pins (2)
Figure 199 and withdraw the hook assembly.
Install the clevis drawbar assembly and secure with

the two pins.
IMPORTANT: Never raise or lower the pick--up hitch

when in the drawbar mode with a trailer attached. 199
There are three holes in the drawbar support. When

using holes (1), (2), and (3) in conjunction with the
holes in the clevis drawbar, a choice of
implement/drawbar hitch points, relative to the end
of the P.T.O. shaft may be achieved. See Figure 200
and the table below for hitch point position and
maximum permitted static downward load on the
drawbar:
The two additional holes (4), are provided in the

hanger for the rear securing pin so the drawbar may
be offset to the left or right of the centre line.
The drawbar, Figure 201, may be inverted to vary the 200

height of the drawbar/implement hitch point.

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.
Extendible Pick--Up Hitch (where fitted)
The extendible pick--up hitch can be hydraulically

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.
NOTE: The illustration shows hitch operation

through remote valve number I, however, it may be
operated using an alternative valve where required.
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 202
drawbar extended continue to lower the hitch until it
is just above the ground.
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. Re--apply the
handbrake before leaving the tractor seat.
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). 203
3--126
NOTE: The maximum static downward load on the

hitch hook must not exceed 3000 kg (6610 lb.)
IMPORTANT: The hitch must be fully retracted

before it will lock correctly. Always ensure the hitch
is locked before operating the tractor.
To change from the hook to drawbar, lower the

pick--up hitch, extract the securing pin (1) and
withdraw the hook assembly.
NOTE: Do not remove the pin in the forward hole as

this retains the hydraulic cylinder in the slider frame.
Install the clevis drawbar assembly and secure with

the pin.

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.
205
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 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--128
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 handbrake is applied when the engine is
running. When the engine is switched off, the trailer
brakes will remain applied.
206
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 handbrake.
NOTE: The light (1), on the instrument panel will

flash, accompanied by critical alarm, to indicate that
hydraulic oil pressure to the trailer brake circuit is low.
Stop the engine and investigate the cause.
ATTENTION: Should the trailer brake warning light

commence to flash, the trailer brakes will apply
automatically.
NOTE: Always keep the dust--cap in place when the

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

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--130
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 208, 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 209. To select the air pressure bargraph, use
the CAL/SEL switch or, where fitted, the enhanced
keypad.
208
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 209
with the trailer brake warning light on.
IMPORTANT: When the footbrakes are applied ,with

the handbrake off, ensure that the front wheel drive
indicator light (1) Figure 210 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. 210
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--131
Dual Line System
For a trailer with a dual line braking system, connect

the supply line hose to the red coupler (1) and the
control line hose to the yellow coupler (2).
IMPORTANT: The dual line system will only operate

if both the red and yellow lines are connected.
Red line (brake supply line) -- (1): Air is supplied to

the red coupler at full system pressure. This is the
brake supply line and charges the reservoir(s) on the
trailer. If the trailer braking system is disconnected
from the tractor for any reason, the air pressure will 211
fall to zero and the trailer brakes will be applied.
Yellow line (control line) -- (2): As the tractor

brakes are applied, increasing air pressure is
supplied, via the yellow coupler, to the control valve
on the trailer until full system pressure is generated.
Application of the trailer brakes is proportional to the
pressure applied to the tractor brake pedals.
Single Line System
If the trailer has a single line system an additional

coupler is supplied. Connect the hose to the black
coupler (1) Figure 212.
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.
212
3--132
Air--Operated Trailer Brakes

(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 (1). 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. 213
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.
214
3--133
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 215

out. After adjustment, push the knob in to lock the
setting. The adjuster must be reset to the fully
clockwise position when a different trailer is used.
WARNING
The brake balance 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 right-hand side of the
engine, to the rear of the fuel filters.

The track widths in the above table are based on a D

tractor fitted with a Standard 4WD front axle.
With front axle Suspension, add 18mm (0.7 in.).
With SuperSteer front axle, add 18mm (0.7 in.).
NOTE: The track widths in the table above are
nominal and may vary by up to 25 mm (1 in.) E
dependent upon tyre size.
IMPORTANT: With optional Dynamic fenders fitted,

narrower track settings may not be attainable due to
insufficient clearance between the tyre or rim and
any part of the fender or attaching hardware.
F
IMPORTANT: If your tractor is equipped with front
fenders, ensure there is adequate clearance
between fender and wheel under all operating
conditions. With the smaller track settings a foul
condition may occur between the tyre or fender and
the tractor when the wheels are turned to the full lock
position particularly when the axle is fully articulated. G
To avoid this condition, adjust the fenders and/or
steering stops.
217
3--135
4WD with Non Adjustable Front Wheels
Tractors equipped with non adjustable front wheels

offer a choice of two track settings. To alter the track
width, interchange both front wheels to provide a A
narrow (A) or wide (B) track setting as required.
NOTE: Tractors with a 50 K/mh (31 MPH)

transmission will be fitted with non adjustable front
wheels).
NOTE: When interchanging left and right--hand

REFITTING THE FRONT WHEELS
When refitting or adjusting a wheel, tighten the bolts

to the following torques then re-check after 50 hours
of operation and, thereafter as required.
Disc to hub nuts 211 Nm (155 lbf.ft.)
Disc to rim nuts 250 Nm (184 lbf.ft.)
(where applicable)
WARNING
Never operate the tractor with a loose wheel rim or
disc. Always tighten nuts to the specified torque and
at the recommended intervals. Owners should
ensure that all steering components are maintained
in a reliable and satisfactory condition to ensure safe
operation and comply with legal requirements.
FRONT WHEEL ALIGNMENT

1
After resetting the track width, the front wheel
alignment may require adjustment. For correct
operation, the front wheels should be parallel.
Measure the distance between the wheel rims at hub
height at the front of the wheels. Rotate both front
wheels 180° and check the measurements again,
this time at the rear of the wheels. This will eliminate
wheel rim run-out errors. The correct setting is 0 +/ --
3 mm (0 -- 0.12 in.)
3 2
Should it be necessary to adjust the front wheel TA43
alignment, proceed as follows:
219
Remove and discard the self-locking nut (2), on the
left-hand end of the track control rod (1) and extract
the track rod end. Loosen the lock nut (3) and screw
the track rod end into or out of the track rod to shorten
or lengthen the assembly, as required. Re-insert the
track rod end and, when the setting is correct, secure
with a new self-locking nut. Tighten the self-locking
nut to 100 Nm (74 lbf. ft.) and the lock nut to 180 Nm
(133 lbf. ft.).
3--137
STEERING STOPS
Two steering stops are incorporated in the axle, one 1
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 and turn the stop bolt
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.).

TA41
220
FRONT AXLE OSCILLATION STOPS

(where fitted)
Where fitted, the 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°.
221
NOTE: If the oscillation stops are removed, ensure
that there is adequate clearance between the front
tyres and any part of the tractor with the axle fully
articulated.
3--138
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.
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.
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.
Fender Turn Stop
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 222
bolts may require adjusting if the track width or tire
size is changed.
3--139
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 tire.
NOTE: A second fender support bolt (not shown) is

located on the opposite end of the support bracket.
223
Narrow Track Settings
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.
3--140
REAR WHEEL TRACK ADJUSTMENT

1
CAUTION
Your tractor is produced with lights that meet lighting
regulations when operating or travelling on the public
highway. If the wheel track setting is adjusted beyond
the initial factory position then you may be required
to reposition the lights or fit auxiliary lighting to
comply with legal requirements. Additionally, before
travelling on the highway, ensure that the overall
tractor width does not exceed the maximum
permitted in your country.
224
Rear wheel track adjustment is effected by changing
the wheel rim relative to the centre disc, the rim 2
and/or the disc relative to the axle hub or by
inter--changing the rear wheels.
CAUTION
Tractor wheels are very heavy. Handle with care and
ensure, when stored, that they cannot topple and
cause injury.
NOTE: There are three different designs of centre

disc dependent upon tyre size and tractor model.
The centre discs shown are as follows: 225
3
Square centre disc -- variable track (Type 1)
Round centre disc -- variable track (Type 2)
Round centre disc -- fixed track (Type 3)
The type of centre disc installed will affect the track

setting. Identify the type of centre disc fitted to your
tractor wheels, then refer to the following table and
Figure 227 to see the wheel rim and disc positions
necessary to achieve the required track setting.
WARNING 226
at the recommended intervals.

BAR AXLE (where fitted)
CAUTION
Your tractor is produced with lights that meet lighting
regulations when operating or travelling on the public
highway. If the wheel track setting is adjusted beyond
the initial factory position then you may be required
to reposition the lights or fit auxiliary lighting to
comply with legal requirements. Additionally, before
travelling on the highway, ensure that the overall
tractor width does not exceed the maximum
permitted in your country.
INTRODUCTION
Tractors equipped with a bar axle may have fixed or

manual adjust wheels. The wheels are attached to a
cast iron hub (3) which is clamped to the bar axle (1).
After unclamping the hub, the wheel may be moved

along the bar to provide a range of track widths. A
range of 190 mm (7.5 in.) of movement per wheel, or
380 mm (15 in.) overall, is available with the 98 inch
axle.
Track width adjustment is effected by moving the

complete wheel/hub assemblies in or out on the axle 229
shaft. Reduce the track width by moving the wheel
towards the tractor, increase the width by moving the
wheel outwards.
Additionally, repositioning the wheel rim on the

centre disc or reversing the centre disc on the axle
hub will provide a wider range of adjustment.
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--144
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 230,
approximately 0.5 in. (12 mm). Remove the four
outer wedge bolts (2).
Clean the bolts and threaded holes in the wedges

before lubricating and installing the outer wedge
bolts at (1) Figure 231. These bolts are used as jack
bolts to push against the wedges. Tighten the jack
bolts evenly until the wedges loosen on the axle
shaft. The wheel assembly will now be free to slide
in or out on the axle shaft.
IMPORTANT: Do not use a torque greater than 300

ft.lbs. (407 N⋅m) on the jack bolts. The use of
penetrating oil between the wedge 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.
230
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 outer

Rear wheel weights
Up to three cast iron weights (1), may be added to

each rear wheel.
With flanged axle: 6 x 45 kg (6 x 99 lb.) permitting a

maximum weight of 270 kg (594 lb.) to be carried.
With bar axle: 6 x 65 kg (6 x 143 lb.) permitting a
maximum weight of 390 kg (860 lb.) to be carried.
234
IMPORTANT: It is not recommended to fit rear
wheel weights on tractors operating at speeds in
excess of 40 k/mh (25 MPH).
Front end wafer weights
Front end wafer weights are available in sets as

described in the following text.
45 kg (99 lb.) wafer weights are available in sets of

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, the complete weight set may now be
lifted off the carrier.
Alternatively, the weights can be removed

individually after loosening the clamp bolts and
removing all four through bolts (1) and (3). 236
WARNING
The tractor must not be operated unless all four
through bolts and the clamp bolts are in position with
the bolts tightened to 169 Nm (125 lbf.ft.). Recheck
the bolt torques after 50 hours of operation.
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.

WHEN THE WARNING SYMBOL

APPEARS
OPERATION 1
SERVICE THE ENGINE AIR
CLEANER OUTER ELEMENT
Service the outer element when the restriction

indicator symbol flashes in the Dot Matrix Display or
every 600 hours, whichever comes first. If the
indicator lights up, perform the service within one
hour of operation.
9
IMPORTANT: Service the outer element only when
the restriction indicator symbol appears or at the
recommended service intervals. Cleaning the filter
too frequently will decrease the service life of the
filter.
The dry air cleaner, which is located under the rear,

right-hand side of the hood, consists of an inner and
outer paper element within a metal casing. See
Figure 9.
1. Unlatch the three retaining clips (1) Fig. 9, and lift

off the air cleaner assembly cover.
2. Remove the outer element (1) Fig. 10 from the

air cleaner assembly by gently twisting the end
of the filter clockwise to disengage the seal. Then
pull the filter straight out of the housing ,not at an
angle, ensuring the inner element remains in
place.
10
IMPORTANT: Do not disturb or remove the inner
element.
3. Examine the inside of the outer element. If dust
is present, the outer element is defective and
must be replaced.The inner element should also
be replaced at this time.
4. Clean the outer element using either method A

or B, depending on the element’s condition.
11
4--14
Method A
NOTE: An outer element may be dry cleaned

(methods A or B) up to 5 times prior to replacement.
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 will damage the element.
12
Method B
Use compressed air, not exceeding 2 bar (30 lbf/in2).

Insert the air line nozzle inside the element. Hold the
nozzle 150 mm (6 in.) 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
Before installing a cleaned or replacement filter
check that there is no damage such as cuts ,dents or
punctures. A dent can make a good seal impossible
and a filter with bunched pleats can drain engine
power and increase fuel costs.
Clean the inside and outside of the sealing surface

of the outlet tube before installing the filter.
Apply a thin film of engine or silicone oil to the sealing

surfaces on the inside of the outer element and on
the outside of the inner element.
Locate the outer element into the housing and press 14

firmly on the outer rim (not the flexible centre) of the
element .
4--15
OPERATION 2
CHECK BRAKE FLUID LEVEL
If the low fluid symbol appears in the Dot Matrix

Display, check the level in the reservoir.
The reservoir is located under the rear of the hood on

the right-hand side and supplies fluid to the rear
brakes and front brakes (where fitted).Visually check
the level of fluid in the reservoir. It should never be
allowed to fall below the ’MIN’ line (3) moulded into
the bottle. If necessary, remove the filler cap (1) and
top up with the correct brake/clutch mineral oil to the
’MAX’ line (2). Do not overfill. Tractors with 12 x 12 15
transmission have a combined brake/clutch
reservoir. The reservoir on all other models is for the
brakes only.
IMPORTANT: Take care not to spill brake fluid on the

tractor as it may damage the paintwork.
WARNING
Use only the correct type of brake/clutch mineral oil.
Mixing different types of fluid may cause damage to
internal hydraulic braking components and result in
brake failure. Adhere to the instrutions on the brake
fluid container. See page 4--11 for correct brake fluid
specification.
4--16
OPERATION 3
DRAIN FUEL SYSTEM WATER
SEPARATOR
IMPORTANT: Before loosening or disconnecting

any part of the fuel injection system, thoroughly clean
the area to be worked on to prevent contamination.
If the fuel symbol appears in the Dot Matrix Display,

it signals the presence of water in the fuel
sedimenter, drain the fuel filter and sedimenter
assembly, as follows:
1. Open the drain tap on the sedimenter/filter 16

assembly by rotating the collar (1) approximately
180° on the water sensor switch. Contaminated
fuel will drain from the tube below the collar.
NOTE: To loosen the drain tap (1) it may be

necessary to remove the sensor wire from the
terminal to allow the knob to rotate.
2. Allow contaminated fuel to drain until only clean

fuel runs out. Catch the fuel in a suitable
container and dispose of properly. Close the
drain tap.
The fuel system is self bleeding and should not
require priming after draining the sedimenter. If
priming is required, turn to page 4--40 for details on
priming the fuel system.
NOTE: See also page 4--56, Fuel System Pre--Filter

and Water Trap.
4--17
EVERY 10 HOURS OR DAILY

(whichever comes first)
OPERATION 4
CHECK ENGINE COOLANT LEVEL
Check the coolant level in the recovery tank when the

engine is cold. The coolant level should be above the
bottom line on the recovery tank. If coolant is
required, remove the pressure cap and add a 50/50
water and antifreeze mixture as specified on page
4--11 of this manual.
17
WARNING
The cooling system operates under pressure which
is controlled by the radiator pressure cap (1) Figure
17. The radiator pressure cap should not be used for
top up purposes. It is dangerous to remove the radia-
tor pressure or filler caps while the system is hot.
When cool, use a thick cloth and turn the radiator
pressure cap slowly to the first stop and allow any
pressure to escape. Coolant should be kept off the
skin. Adhere to the precautions outlined on the anti-
freeze and inhibitor containers.
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 descibed above.
18
4--18
OPERATION 5
CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL
Check the oil level when the tractor is parked on a

level surface and after the engine has been stopped
for a minimum of five minutes.
1. Remove the dipstick, wipe clean and re-insert

fully.
2. Pull the dipstick out again and check the oil level.
The oil level should fall between the ‘MIN‘ and
‘MAX‘ indicators on the dipstick.
19
3. If more oil is required remove the dipstick and
add fresh oil until the level is between the ‘MIN‘
and ‘MAX‘ indicators on the dipstick. The
quantity of oil represented between the two
indicators is 3.5 litres (3.7 U.S.qts).
NOTE: Do not fill above the ‘MAX indicator on the

dipstick. Excess oil will burn off, creating smoke and
give a false impression of oil consumption. Do not
operate the engine with the oil level below the MIN
indicator.
4. Re--install the dipstick cap.
See page 4--11 for the correct oil specification and

viscosity.
OPERATION 6
CHECK WINDSCREEN
WASHER RESERVOIR
The reservoir for the windscreen washers is located

beneath the rear of the cab on the left-hand side. The
same reservoir is utilised for both front and rear
windscreen washers.
Lift off the cap (1) and fill with washer solvent solution
up to the bend (2) in the filler neck. In cold weather,
use a solvent with anti-freeze properties.

OPERATION 8
CLEAN THE CAB AIR FILTERS
Air drawn into the cab by the blower fan passes

through three filters, two externally mounted, and
one recirculation filter located inside the cab.
Before servicing the filters, switch off the blower and

close the roof hatch, all windows and one door.
Forcibly close the other door. The resulting back
pressure will dislodge most of the loose dirt from the
underside of the external filters.
NOTE: In humid conditions, do not switch on the

blower prior to servicing the filter. Damp particles
drawn into the filter may be difficult to remove.

OPERATION 17
ENGINE OIL AND FILTER
IMPORTANT: Operation 17 depicts the normal 600

hour engine oil and filter change period. However,
the oil change period may be affected by other
factors:
Cold Temperature Operation

Engines operating in temperatures below -- 12 ° C
(10 ° F) or in arduous conditions should have the oil
changed every 300 hours of operation. (The oil filter
need only be changed at the normal 600 hour service
interval).
Tractor Usage
In the event your tractor accumulates less than 600
working hours annually, it is recommended the
engine oil and filter be changed every 12 months.
Diesel Fuel Sulphur Content

In some countries, locally available diesel may have
a high sulphur content, in which case the oil and filter
change period should be adjusted, as follows:
• Sulphur content between 0.5 and 1.0%

-- change engine oil every 300 hours.
• Sulphur content between 1.0 and 1.3%

-- change engine oil every 150 hours.
If in doubt, follow the engine oil and filter change

recomendations on the decal affixed to the underside
of the hood.
WARNING
Be very careful to avoid contact with hot engine oil.
If the engine oil is extremely hot, alllow it to cool to a

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
ethylene glycol antifreeze or, where a suitable type
of antifreeze is not available, with a measured
dosage of chemical inhibitor. See the following text.
Draining and Refilling the Cooling System
WARNING
Allow the engine to cool before draining the coolant.
The cooling system operates under pressure which
is controlled by the radiator pressure cap (1). It is
dangerous to remove the pressure cap while the
system is hot. When cool, use a thick cloth and turn
the cap slowly to the first stop and allow the pressure
to escape before fully removing the cap. Coolant
should be kept off the skin. Adhere to the precautions
outlined on the antifreeze and inhibitor containers,
where used.

CLEANING THE TRACTOR
Cab Interior
When the soft trim material inside the cab becomes

dirty, it should be wiped clean. Dip a cloth in a warm
water/detergent solution and squeeze out as much
of the water as possible.
The rubber floor covering is designed to allow water

to flow out through the open doors. Wash the
covering carefully and allow to dry naturally. Avoid
getting water under the mat. 133
NOTE: When operating with chemical sprayers,

clean the interior of the cab on a more frequent basis
to prevent a build up of chemical residue.
Cleaning the Seat and Seat Belt
The belt may be sponged with clean, soapy water. Do

not use solvents, bleach or dye on the belt as these
chemicals will weaken the webbing.
Replace the belt when it shows signs of fraying,

damage or general wear.
Do not use solvents to clean the seat. Use only warm

water with a little detergent added or a proprietry
brand of automotive upholstery cleaner. Avoid
wetting the seat more than is absolutely necessary.
4--70
Cleaning the Exterior of the Tractor
Maintenance of the paintwork is normally carried out

by washing, at intervals that depend on the
conditions of use and the environment. In areas
prone to atmospheric pollution and coastal zones,
washing should be carried out more frequently,
whereas if organic or chemical substances are
present, wash immediately after the tractor is used.
Use a low pressure water spray, sponge down with
a solution of automotive shampoo and water, rinsing
the sponge frequently. Rinse the tractor thoroughly
and dry off.
In the event of abrasions or deep scratches that

expose the metal under the paintwork, the area
concerned will need to be retouched and treated
immediately with specified original products as
follows:
-- Rub down the immediate area surrounding the

damage with fine abrasive paper.
-- Apply a coat of primer.
-- Leave to dry and then rub down with fine abrasive
paper to ’key’ the surface.
-- Apply the paint. For best results apply several
light applications of paint rather than one heavy
coat. Paint and primer are available from your
authorised dealer.
-- When fully dry, apply a good quality polish and
buff to a shine.
Avoid washing the tractor if it is hot or has been

standing in the sun. This will help to protect the shine
on the paintwork.
Protect the paintwork by means of periodical

polishing with special products (silicone waxes)
which are available from your authorised dealer. Use
wax polish should the paintwork start to dull as this
has a slightly abrasive action.
NOTE: When carrying out operations involving

materials or crops which may become airborne,
frequently check the tractor for build up of debris
around the radiator, engine and exhaust system to
prevent overheating or the possibility of catching fire.

end of this book.
6--1
SECTION 6 -- ACCESSORIES
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 lower left side of the instrument panel.
Wnen switched on the auxiliary headlight beams
may be dipped using the multi--function switch on the
left of the steering column.
2
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.
Electronic Operation
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 3
be reduced. Always turn the battery isolator switch
’OFF’ when the tractor is not in use.
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.
6--2
LOADER SUBFRAME and CONTROL VALVE

(JOYSTICK)
Operating
If your tractor is equipped with the optional front

loader, a mid mounted remote control valve with
two spools will have been fitted. The valves are
controlled by a joystick mounted on the right--hand
side of the seat. The joystick is able to operate two
services simultaneously by moving it diagonally.
The lever lock provides selective control of the

joystick. With the lock pushed fully in, position (1), the
joystick is fixed in neutral and the remote valves
cannot be operated, either by accident or by choice.
If the lock is pulled fully out, position (3), valves I and

II may be operated independently or together by
moving the joystick control in the appropriate
direction.
In the intermeadiate position (2), lateral movement of

the joystick that operates valve II is locked.
Joystick Operation
Pull the joystick rearwards (R) to raise the loader. If

required, pulling the joystick fully rearward against
spring pressure will provide a faster rate of lift.
Pushing the joystick forward to the ‘lower’ position (L)

will cause the loader 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 loader arms to move up
and down freely. When using the float position to
lower the loader, pushing the joystick fully forward 5
against spring pressure will cause the rate of drop to
slow.
Moving the joystick to the left (R) will cause the

bucket to roll upwards (crowd), moving the joystick
to the right (L) will roll the bucket out (dump).
IMPORTANT: Do not hold the lever in the raise or

lower positions once the loader or bucket cylinder
has reached the extent of its travel. This will cause
the relief valve to ‘blow’ which, if occuring over an
extended period, may overheat the oil.
6--3
Additional Services (where fitted)
Your loader may be equipped with additional

functions activated using the buttons (1) on the
joystick knob.
Depending on loader specification, up to three

buttons may be fitted to the joystick. Consult the
loader Operator’s Manual for further information.
Attaching the Loader to the Subframe
CAUTION
Before attempting to connect or disconnect the
loader hydraulic services, switch OFF the tractor
engine and relieve any pressure in the hydraulic
hoses by individually selecting both FLOAT
positions. Place the joystick control in Neutral.
Dependent on country, different procedures are used

for removing and attaching the front loader arms.
Consult the installation instructions in your loader
manual.
IMPORTANT: Before connecting the loader

hydraulic hoses, stop the engine and thoroughly
clean the connections to prevent oil contamination.
Loader cylinders are operated by oil drawn from the
tractor hydraulic system, therefore, always check
and replenish the hydraulic system oil after the
loader cylinders have been connected and cycled a
few times. Operating the tractor with a low oil level
may result in damage to the rear axle and
transmission components.
6--4
Connecting the Loader Hydraulics
IMPORTANT: To ensure good contact between the

tractor and loader hydraulic manifolds, ensure the
mating surfaces of both manifolds are clean and free
of debris before clamping together.
With the loader securely mounted on the tractor

sub--frame, lift the protective cover (2) on the tractor
hydraulic connector manifold until it locks in the
vertical position.
Pull out the lock button (1), and lift the handle (4) of
the clamp arm upwards until sufficient clearance is 7
obtained to manoeuvre the loader manifold into
position. Ensure the two guide pins on the loader
manifold align with the holes (3) in the tractor
manifold.
Pull down the clamp handle until the lock button

engages in the manifold block.
IMPORTANT: Whenever the loader is removed from

the tractor, always ensure the cover for the manifold
is fully closed to prevent ingress of dust and debris.
Connecting Additional Services
Additional services are electronically controlled via a

cable that connects to a socket (1) on the loader
subframe. When the loader is removed from the
tractor ensure the cover on the electrical socket is
closed to protect the internal components.
After re--fitting the loader, start the tractor engine and

cycle the loader joystick through all movements, stop
the engine and check for any oil leaks.
6--5
Rear Remote Valve Zero Detent Kits
If your tractor is fitted with a non New Holland front

loader, the rear remote valves may be used to
provide the hydraulic power. For efficient operation
it is recommended valves 1 and 2 are converted to
non detent functionality.
Valve 1. Convert using kit part No. 719.362.010.

This kit retains detent operation on the float position
only, used for grading or backfilling applications.
Valve 2. Convert using kit part No. 718.362.010.

Removes the detents from all positions and restricts
valve operation to Raise, Neutral and Lower (float
removed).

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--95 for further details.
