Ride Control When transporting equipment on the three- point hitch, 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 minimize implement bounce to provide a smoother ride.
