WARNING
To avoid personal injury or death:
• Do not engage the front-wheel drive when
traveling at road speed.
• When driving on icy, wet, or loose surfaces,
make sure that the tractor is correctly ballasted
to avoid skidding and loss of steering control.
Operate at reduced speed and engage front-
wheel drive.
• An accident may occur if the tractor is suddenly
braked, such as by heavy towed loads shifting
forward or loss of control.
• The braking characteristics
between 2 and 4-wheel drive. Be aware of the
difference and use carefully.
Use the lever to engage the front wheels with the

10.1 Front-wheel drive (4WD) usage

Front-wheel drive is effective for the following jobs:
1. When greater pulling force is needed, such as
working in a wet field, when pulling a trailer, or
when working with a front-end loader.
2. When working in sandy soil.
3. When working on a hard soil where a rotary tiller
might push the tractor forward.
4. Additional braking at reduced speeds.

11. Hand throttle lever

Pulling the throttle lever back increases engine speed,
and pushing the throttle lever forward decreases
engine speed.
