• Fully depress and hold the differential lock
pedal to engage the transmission differential
lock. Release the pedal to disengage the
differential lock. See Figure 18.
Figure 18
NOTE: Because of the drive load on the internal
engagement mechanism, releasing the differential
lock pedal may not always disengage the
differential lock. It may be necessary to slow the
tractor, or reverse the direction of travel, to
disengage the differential lock.
USING THE HYDRAULIC LIFT LEVER
The hydraulic lift system provides power for raising
and positioning three point hitch and belly mounted
equipment. The system’s position control feature
maintains the selected height or depth of the
equipment. When the hydraulic lift lever is moved to
a higher or lower setting, the system repositions the
equipment and maintains that selected position.
• To raise an attachment using the hydraulic lift
system, the engine must be running.
• Generally, an attachment can be lowered with
the engine running or off.
• There is a direct relationship between the
height of the equipment and the position of the
lever in its slot. Operate the equipment to
determine your preferred height setting and,
consequently, the position of the lift lever in its
slot.
• Move the lift lever forward in the slot to the
position that lowers the equipment to the
desired height setting. Refer to Figure 19.
• Move the lift lever rearward in the slot to raise
the equipment to a higher height setting, or all
the way rearward to raise the equipment to the
transport position. Refer to Figure 19.

USING THE PTO SELECTION LEVER
The position of the PTO selection lever will deter-
mine whether the rear PTO, mid PTO, or both
PTO’s will be engaged when the PTO switch is
activated.
WARNING: NEVER shift the PTO selec-
tion lever while the PTO is engaged.
Damage to internal components will
occur.
• Shift the PTO selection lever rearward to select
the rear PTO. The rear PTO is used to drive
equipment designed to operate at an input
speed of 540 RPM. See Figure 20.
Figure 20
• Shift the PTO lever forward to select the mid
PTO. The mid PTO is used to drive equipment
designed to operate at an input speed of 2000
RPM.
