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 99, raise the implement to the
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.
