Steering - Operation

Your tractor has a hydro-static steering system which provides convenience and ease of operation of the steering
wheel. A non-load reaction system reduces the feedback felt by the operator when traveling over rough ground
through the steering wheel.
Operating notes
• If there is too much of a load in the front bucket, it could be difficult to operate the steering wheel. In this case,
reduce the size of the load or move the tractor slowly forward while turning the steering wheel in the direction of
desired travel.
• Do not hold the steering wheel fully to the left or right after the front wheels have reached end of travel for more
than 10 seconds. This could over heat the steering system and cause damage.
• If an abnormal sound is heard while operating the steering wheel, this means that there is some air in the steering
components line. In this case, turn the steering wheel to left and right fully and hold for about 5 seconds. The air
should bleed out and the abnormal noise should go away. If the sound does not go away take your tractor to your
authorized NEW HOLLAND dealer.
• When operating the tractor in cold weather, the abnormal sound may be heard. In this case, warm up the tractor
before using to reduce the oil viscosity.
• If the engine stops, the hydraulic power for the steering system will stop. The loss of hydraulic power will make the
steering wheel difficult to turn.
