automatic Controlled Traction
What is automatic Controlled Traction?
Automatic Controlled Traction (ACT) is an exclusive
feature of our transmissions that provides improved trac-
tion. ACT applies a preset amount of torque to both rear
wheels even if one starts slipping (a transmission without
ACT will lose traction completely if one rear wheel starts
slipping). This preset torque is just enough to provide
additional traction, and still allow the wheels to turn at dif-
ferent speeds in a tight turn without damaging the lawn.
What to Expect from Your aCT Tractor
For the most part, while using your tractor you will not
notice ACT working, and you will simply become accus-
tomed to increased traction an ACT transmission pro-
vides.

Figure 2. Engaging the Parking Brake
Under certain circumstances the ACT system limit can
be exceeded, and one of the rear wheels may slip (for
instance if trying to turn up a hill while accelerating). This
is normal. If you start to lose traction, do not speed up.
Instead, slow to a stop, straighten the steering wheel, and
slowly accelerate. Stopping the tractor allows the trans-
mission to regain more traction.
