Turning While Driving Rearward
To turn the tractor while driving rearward, move the control
levers as necessary so that one lever is forward of the other. The
tractor will turn in the direction of the forward control lever.
1. To turn to the left while traveling in reverse, move the left
drive control lever forward of the right lever. See Figure 5-7.
Rearward Left Turn
2. To turn to the right while traveling in reverse, move the right
drive control lever forward of the left lever. See Figure 5-8.
3. The greater the distance between the two levers, the
sharper the tractor will turn.
4. To execute a "pivot turn," move the turn side drive control
lever to the neutral position, while moving the other
control lever rearward.
NOTE: Making a "pivot turn" on grass will greatly increase
the potential for defacement of the turf.
