Hydrostatic Transmission

For maximum performance when using
attachments, operate engine at
throttle (FAST). Control ground speed with
the travel pedal (M).
The hydrostatic transmission provides the
operator with an infinite choice of travel
speeds. Avoid fast travel speeds when
using attachments. Operate at slower
travel speeds when snow throwing,
mowing and tilling.
2-Speed Models (Model 13076 Only):
Stop tractor when shifting. Change
speeds with the transmission lever
(P, Fig. 6-4).
Use "HIGH" range (0-9 mph) for transport
and mowing.
Use "LOW" range (0-3.3 mph) for heavy
load conditions such as tilling, snow
throwing, plowing or using the front end
loader.

Travel Pedal

The travel pedal controls forward and
rearward movement of tractor. The
hydrostatic transmission gives the
operator an infinite choice of travel
speeds. Press travel pedal (M, Fig. 6-3) at
the top (with toe) to move forward. Press
pedal at the bottom (with heel) to move in
reverse.
To stop or slow down when moving
forward: Press pedal at bottom
(with heel).
To stop or slow down when in reverse:
