INTRODUCTION

The Hayter LT324 Triple Turf Mower is a diesel engine powered self propelled machine with hydraulic
systems for ground drive, cutterhead drives and steering. The machine operates in two wheel drive with
automatic four wheel drive on demand. A differential lock function may be selected. The transmission
system is converted automatically to engage drive to all 4 wheels when the machine speed decreases as
a result of front wheel traction slip. 2WD is automatically re-engaged when traction slip is reduced.
