Brakes; Differential Lock - MASSEY FERGUSON 410 Operators Instruction Book

Operation

Brakes

WARNING: The brake pedals must
always be locked together to ensure
uniform brake application and
maximum stopping ability. Only unlock
the brakes when making sharp turns. Sharp turns
must only be made at slow speeds.
CAUTION: ALWAYS apply the parking
brake when dismounting from the
tractor.
1. When the tractor is being operated for stationary
work, even if only for short periods, always engage
the parking brake.
2. The independent brakes may be used to assist
turning when traveling very slowly. Never apply one
brake when turning at high speed.
3. A standard parking brake is fitted. Ensure that it
is fully released before driving away.
4. When using the tractor on the road, lock your brake
pedals together using the latch.
Making sharp turns
1. Release the brake pedal latch, (1, Fig. 51)
2. Apply the brake (2) on the side to which the turn
is to be made and turn the steering wheel.
3. Re-latch the brake pedals before driving on the
road.

Differential lock

CAUTION: DO NOT drive on the roads,
or at high speeds anywhere with the
differential lock engaged. Steering will
be difficult for field operation. Use the
differential lock to improve traction, but release
it for turning at row ends.
If a rear wheel starts to slip:
To engage the differential lock (Fig. 52):
1. Fully depress the clutch pedal.
2. Push down on the differential lock pedal with your
heel, this engages the differential lock.
3. Release the clutch pedal slowly, while maintaining
foot pressure on the differential lock pedal.
4. To disengage the differential lock release the pedal.
If the lock fails to disengage automatically, depress
the clutch pedal.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT attempt to engage the
differential lock with one wheel stopped and the other
wheel spinning fast. DO NOT attempt to turn with
the differential lock engaged.
