Using Differential Lock (Traction Assist)
Avoid injury! Driving at high speeds with the traction assist engaged may result in loss of steering control. Do not engage traction assist or turn with the traction assist engaged while operating machine at high speeds or on slopes.
The differential lock is used to provide better traction when rear wheels start to slip. Engaging differential lock will lock right and left rear axles together and cause both rear wheels to turn at equal speeds for maximum traction.
Avoid damage! Using the traction assist function improperly can damage the transaxle:
Reduce speed and allow drive wheels to rotate at same speed before engaging or disengaging traction assist.
Disengage traction assist when driving on dry asphalt or concrete.
Use traction assist only when necessary for improved ground engagement.
Turning radius is increased when the differential lock is engaged.
Engaging Differential Lock
Stop or slow machine movement.
NOTE:
Differential lock will remain engaged as long as rear wheel slippage occurs. If tires slip and regain traction repeatedly, hold down pedal with foot so differential lock remains engaged.
LV17860-UN: Machine With HST Transmission
LV20863-UN: Machine With PRT TransmissionLEGEND: A - Differential Lock LeverDepress differential lock lever (A) 20—25 mm (3/4—1 in.) to operate differential lock.
Disengaging Differential Lock
Rear wheel slippage will keep differential lock engaged. Lock will automatically disengage when traction equalizes.
Using Mechanical Front Wheel Drive (MFWD)
Mechanical front wheel drive (MFWD) enables the powertrain to drive both front and rear axles for improved traction on difficult ground conditions and provides four-wheel braking. MFWD can be engaged and disengaged on-the-go with light loads and on low traction surfaces.
Avoid injury! Use extra caution when driving on slopes. To increase traction and provide four-wheel braking, engage mechanical front wheel drive (MFWD) when driving on slopes. Be aware that MFWD can improve access to dangerously sloped terrain, thereby increasing the possibility of rollover.
To improve braking on sloped, icy, wet, or graveled surfaces, engage the MFWD. Add ballast to the tractor and travel at a reduced speed to avoid skidding and loss of steering control.
Avoid damage! Always disengage MFWD when driving on a paved surface.
Put the transmission levers in neutral to move the machine when the engine is not running.
It may be necessary to reduce engine load to disengage front wheel drive.
OOS—Pull up on MFWD lever (A) to engage. Push down MFWD lever to disengage.
Cab—Push up on MFWD lever (A) to engage. Pull down MFWD lever to disengage.
Tips for Operating MFWD
Maintain front tire pressure at maximum allowable level to ensure proper tire performance in all field conditions.
Engage MFWD to provide four-wheel braking.
Disengage MFWD when driving machine to or from work site to increase front tire life.
Using Rear PTO Switch
Use rear mounted equipment rated for 540 rpm. Do not operate rear PTO over 540 rpm mark on tachometer.
Using Rear PTO Switch (Operator on Seat)
Sit on operator,s seat.
Stop machine motion and:
PowrReverser ™ Transmission—Move the reverser lever to neutral position, push in clutch and place transmission gearshift lever in neutral.
Hydrostatic Transmission—Remove foot from forward and reverse travel pedals.
Lock the park brake.
Move the transmission range shift lever to the N (neutral) position.

Disengaging the PTO Switch
Adjust engine rpm to low idle.
Push PTO switch down to the off position.
Using Drawbar Hitch—If Equipped
Avoid Injury! Use only the drawbar that was provided with the machine (if equipped), or the optional drawbar available from your John Deere Dealer. Do not install or use any other type of drawbar.
To avoid rearward upset, all towed loads must be attached to the drawbar, not just to the center link or draft arms.
Avoid damage! Maximum static vertical load on drawbar not to exceed maximum recommendations. Drive slowly with heavy loads.
Maximum Drawbar Loads
Certain heavy equipment such as a loaded single-axle trailer can place excessive strain on the drawbar. Strain greatly increased by speed and rough ground. Do not exceed the following maximum static vertical loads on drawbar:
-: Maximum Drawbar Load
|
Drawbar Removal
Remove quick-lock pin (A) and drilled pin (B).
Pull drawbar from hitch mounting bracket.
Drawbar Installation
Install drawbar into hitch mounting bracket.
Adjust drawbar to one of two operating positions (C).
Install drilled pin (B) up from bottom of machine. Install quick-lock pin (A).
Towing Loads
Avoid injury! Stopping distance increases with speed and weight of towed load, and on slopes. Towed loads, with or without brakes, that are too heavy for the machine or are towed too fast can cause loss of control. Consider the weight of the equipment and its load.
Ensure that load does not exceed recommended weight. The machine must be heavy and powerful enough with adequate braking power for the towed load. Use additional caution and reduce speed when towing loads under adverse surface conditions, when turning, and on inclines.
Weight requirement for towed equipment:
If towed equipment does not have brakes, do not tow loads more than 1500 kg (3307 lb.) maximum.
If towed equipment has brakes, do not tow loads more than 2000 kg (4409 lb.) maximum.
Hitch the towed load only to the drawbar. Lock the drawbar and pin in place.
Install a safety chain to the machine drawbar support and to the towed load. Provide only enough slack to permit turning.
Before descending a hill, shift to a gear low enough to control machine without having to use the brake pedal.
Using Safety Chain
Avoid injury! Hitch towed loads only to the drawbar to avoid rearward upset. Do not use the safety chain for towing loads.
Avoid damages! Secure the towed load to the drawbar. The safety chain is designed to help control the towed load in case of separation from the drawbar.
Use a chain with a strength rating greater than the gross weight of the towed load.
Replace or repair the safety chain if one or more links or fittings are broken, stretched, or damaged.
LV17806-UN: Safety ChainLEGEND: A - Safety ChainB - Attachment PointC - Intermediate Support Attach safety chain (A) to attachment point (B) and to towed load. Provide only enough slack to permit turning. Install additional intermediate support point (C) for chain on drawbar to reduce slack in chain when necessary.
Remove safety chain and store when not in use.
Using 3-Point Hitch
The 3-point hitch on your machine is classified as a category I hitch.
Center Link Storage Position
Place center link (A) in storage hook (B) when hitch is not in use.
Positioning Center Link
LV16754-UN: Positioning Center LinkLEGEND: A - Center LinkB - Bottom HoleC - Middle HoleD - Top HoleFor light and medium draft loads: Install center link (A) in bottom hole (B) of mounting bracket. Example of a light or medium draft load implement is a landscape rake. A category I implement tilts forward while rising in this position.
For medium and heavy draft loads: Install center link in middle hole (C) of mounting bracket. Example of a medium or heavy draft load implement is a tiller or box blade. A category I implement tilts forward slightly while rising in this position.
For very heavy draft loads: Install center link in top hole (D) of mounting bracket. Example of a very heavy draft load implement is a plow or ripper. A category I implement rises, but angle remains constant.
Using Rockshaft Control Lever
Use rockshaft control lever (A) to raise and lower equipment attached to 3-point hitch.
The six rockshaft position identifiers (C) do not signify specific operating depths. When rockshaft control lever is moved forward, draft arms lower closer to the ground.
Lower Implement: Push rockshaft control lever forward.
Raise Implement: Pull rockshaft control lever rearward.
The rockshaft depth stop (B) can be adjusted to maintain a particular implement operating depth. To use the depth stop knob:
Operate implement for a few minutes to determine the desired operating depth.
Loosen the depth stop knob.
Move knob against rockshaft control lever.
Tighten knob to keep the depth stop in position. Implement will operate in same position each time rockshaft control lever is pushed against the depth stop.
Using Rate-of-Drop/Lock Valve
Avoid injury! Excessive rate-of-drop may cause injury or damage. Fully lowering implement takes at least 2 seconds.
The rate-of-drop/lock valve (D) controls the rate of rockshaft drop when rockshaft control lever is operated. This valve provides direct rate-of-drop control for 3-point hitch mounted implements. The valve can be used to hydraulically lock rockshaft from lowering (3-point hitch) in a desired position. The tractor can be operated with rate-of-drop/lock valve closed. The rockshaft can be raised with the rate-of-drop/lock valve closed.
Increase Rate-of-Drop: Rotate rate-of-drop/lock valve (D) counterclockwise to make drop faster.
Decrease Rate-of-Drop: Rotate rate-of-drop/lock valve (D) clockwise to make drop slower.
Avoid injury! Do not use the rate-of-drop/lock valve for holding an attachment in raised position for service work. Loss of hydraulic pressure could result in sudden drop of attachment. Lower attachment onto blocks or remove from machine before servicing.
Lock 3-Point Hitch: Rotate rate-of-drop/lock valve (D) clockwise until tight.
Unlock 3-Point Hitch: Rotate rate-of-drop/lock valve (D) counterclockwise.

Exhaust Filter System Overview—If Equipped
Your machine is equipped with an emission compliant engine, which cleans and filters the engine exhaust. Please read the Exhaust Filter Cleaning sections to understand when and where operator interaction is required.
Under normal machine operation, the system is in automatic mode and requires minimal operator interaction.
Soot builds up during times when engine exhaust gas temperature is lower (lower engine speed, lower engine load). Performing extended operations at either low engine speed (below 1500 rpm) or low engine load (such as backhoe work) could result in needing a parked exhaust cleaning. Periodically monitor the machine display during these operations to determine if parked exhaust cleaning is required.
To avoid unnecessary buildup of diesel particulates or soot in the exhaust filter system:
Avoid unnecessary idling.
Use proper engine oil. (See the Service Engine section for recommendations.)
Use only ultra low sulfur fuel. (See the Service Miscellaneous section for recommendations.)
Under normal machine operation, the system is in automatic mode.
Use the control module (A) to select parked cleaning switch (B), or disable cleaning switch (C).
When machine use is not suited for higher temperatures created by exhaust filter cleaning, use the disable switch (C). Be sure to deactivate the disable switch as soon as possible to avoid unnecessary soot buildup in exhaust filter.
Remember to select disable switch (C) when temporarily connected to an indoor ducted exhaust system during vehicle diagnostic and repair activities.

Using 3rd Selective Control Valve (SCV) Outlet—If Equipped
Avoid injury! Escaping fluid under high pressure can penetrate the skin and cause serious injury. Avoid the hazard by relieving pressure before connecting hydraulic or other lines. Tighten all connections before applying pressure.
• Search for leaks with a piece of cardboard. Protect hands and body from high-pressure fluids.
• If an accident occurs, see a doctor immediately. Any fluid injected into the skin must be surgically removed within a few hours or gangrene may result. Doctors unfamiliar with this type of injury should reference a knowledgeable medical source. Such information is available from Deere & Company Medical Department in Moline, Illinois, U.S.A. In the United States and Canada only, this information may be obtained by calling 1-800-822-8262.
Some continuous flow attachments can elevate tractor oil temperature. Make sure to refer to the OM of the attachment and supply the device the proper flow rate. In the event that the tractor hydraulic system overheats, the valve will disengage, and the light will remain lit. Operate the tractor for 10 minutes at mid engine speed to cool it down, identify the cause of the overheating, and resume work.
This machine model series can be equipped with an optional 3rd selective control valve (SCV) outlet kit to operate hydraulically driven implements from one set of outlets at the mid-mount position or the rear-mount position.
The machine-mounted hydraulic outlets are female quick couplers.
Using 3rd Selective Control Valve (SCV) Continuous Flow Switch
• Continuous Flow Enable Switch (A): This switch will supply continuous flow to a hydraulic device.
• Off (B): Place switch in this position to deactivate continuous flow from the 3rd SCV outlet or depress the bottom of control switch (H).
• On (C): This position will activate continuous flow from the 3rd SCV outlet after the key switch has been turned on. Turning the key switch off will deactivate the continuous flow circuit. When the key switch is turned on, the 3rd SCV continuous flow circuit will not activate until after the operator presses and releases the switch in the momentary enable (D) position.
The green light in the switch will illuminate if continuous flow is activated.
• Enable (D): This is a momentary position that will reactivate the 3rd SCV continuous flow circuit. When the switch is depressed and released, it will return to the center on position.
Using 3rd Selective Control Valve (SCV) Outlet Control
The 3rd (SCV) outlet may be operated in a momentary condition to operate attachments such as extending or retracting a hydraulic cylinder. The attachment will receive full hydraulic flow in direct response to the use of the control switch.

Depress the bottom of the 3rd SCV control switch (H) to allow flow from the circuit out the lower outlet (G) and return to the machine through the upper outlet (F).
Avoid damage! To prevent contamination of female quick couplers, color-coded hose ends should be installed in the couplers when not being used.
Transporting Machine
Driving Machine Safely on Roads
Avoid injury! Use caution when operating machine at transport speeds. Reduce speeds if towed load weighs more than machine. Consult towed equipment operator’s manual for recommended transport speeds.
Use additional caution when transporting towed loads under adverse surface conditions, especially when turning, and on inclined surfaces.
Use of warning lights and turn signals is recommended when traveling on public roads unless prohibited by state or local regulations. An implement safety lighting kit is available from your John Deere dealer.
Observe the following precautions when operating the machine on a road:
Make sure SMV (slow moving vehicle) emblem and warning lights are clean and visible. If towed or rear-mounted equipment obstructs these safety devices, install SMV emblem and warning lights on equipment.
Turn on flashing warning lights and headlights, except if prohibited by law.
Drive slowly enough to maintain safe control at all times. Slow down for hillsides, rough ground, and sharp turns, especially when transporting heavy, rear-mounted implements.
Adjust tread width position of rear wheels to provide maximum stability.
If equipped, disengage the MFWD to reduce tire wear.
Never coast machine downhill.
