1. Check the torque of the cab/ROPS mountingbolts. Refer to “Operation 41” in the “Lubricationand Maintenance” section.

2. Check theoperator’s seatmountingbolts and theseat belt mounting bolts. Tighten bolts to 54 N·m(40 ft lbs). Replace any worn or damaged parts.

Damage to the Cab/ROPSIf the tractor has rolled over or the cab/ROPS hasbeen damaged (such as striking an overhead objectduring transport), it must be replaced to provide theoriginal protection.

After an accident, check for damage to the (1)cab/ROPS, (2) operator’s seat, (3) seat belt and seatbelt mountings. Before you operate the tractor,replace all damaged parts.

IMPORTANT: Do not try to weld or straighten thecab/rops.

WARNINGNever attach chains, ropes or cables to thecab/ROPS for pulling purposes; this will causethe tractor to tip backwards. Alwayspull from thetractor drawbar. Be careful when driving throughdoor openings or under low overhead objects.Make sure there is sufficient overhead clearancefor the cab/ROPS.If the cab/ROPS is removed or replaced, makecertain that the proper hardware is used and therecommended torque values are applied to theattaching bolts.

Wheel Slip (with Radar Option)Touch the %SLIP selector switch, 4. The “%SLIP”legend, 1, will display together with a two-digit slipvalue, 2, in the main TPM display. The slip value isdetected by the comparison of theoretical groundspeed (axle rotation sensor) with true ground speed(radar sensor).

Slip zero calibration occurs automatically. However,when widely differing soil conditions are encoun-tered, it may be necessary to manually zero thewheel slip ratio, as follows:

Drive the tractor in the soil conditions to be worked,with implement raised, at a constant speed of lessthan 16 km/h (10 MPH). This will determine theminimum wheel slip under light operating conditionsto be used as a 0% reference point. With % SLIPfunction selected, hold down the START/STOPswitch, 5, for at least three seconds.

A “beep” from the alarm and “0” in the displayindicates that the module has been calibrated to aminimum slip condition.

WARNINGThe radar ground speed sensor emits a lowintensity microwave signal which will not causeany ill effects in normal use. Although the signalintensity is low, do not look directly into the faceof the sensor while in operation so as to avoideye damage.

IMPORTANT:Before carrying out arc welding on thetractor or on any equipment attached to the tractor,disconnect all power and ground leads from thebatteries in order to avoid possible damage toelectronic components.

This causes the word “SERVICE,” 1, to flashwhenever the key is on if service is due. The symbolwill flash for thenext 10hoursof operation, or until thespecific service is completed and the display is reset.

The operator can program 1, 2 or no Service AlertIndicators into the lower selectable LCD.

Example: The operator wants the hour meter tosignal for minor service every 50 hours and majorservice to be performed every 300 hours. 48

The letter “I,” 1, and the 3-digit number, 2, in thedisplay corresponds to the “next service due” intervalpreviously entered into the memory. If “I_ 025” isdisplayed, the hour meter will signal the operatorevery 25 hours that service is due. A “I_000”programmed into the displaywill disable the “ServiceAlert Indicator.”

The left-hand digit of the displaywill be flashing. If thedigit is already reading “0,” there is noneed tochangeit. Touch the DIGIT SELECT switch, 3, to select thenext digit to the right, which will flash.

49

Each touch of the DIGIT SET switch, 6, will increasethe value of the flashing digit, 1, by one. When thedigit reaches “5”, touch the DIGIT SELECT switch, 5,which will cause the next digit, 2, in the display toflash. Change the value of this digit, if necessary,using the DIGIT SET switch, 6, as previouslydescribed until it reaches “0.”

With “1-050” displayed, touch the SET UP/SELECTswitch, 4. The Service Alert Indicator II can now beprogrammed for the 300- hour service interval.

Every 50 hours of tractor operation the word“SERVICE” will flash when the key is on. The displaywill continue to flash until the START/STOP, RESETswitch, 3, is used to cancel the flashing display afterreentering the Service Alert programming mode.

To program the Service Alert Indicator II, the processis the same as for Service Alert I, but when the SETUP/SELECT switch, 3, is touched, the left digits, 1,will be “II.” The next digit, 2, will be flashing indicatingthat the operator can now program the 300-hourService Alert Interval II.

51

CANCEL FLASHING SERVICE INDICATORTo identifywhich service is dueand to cancel thealertafter the service has been completed, reenter theservice alert programming menu. If the word“SERVICE,” 1, is flashing and a single I is displayed,complete the 50-hour service as described in the“Lubrication and Maintenance” section and cancelthe alert by holding the START/STOP, RESETswitch, 3, for three seconds.

The left digit will begin flashing indicating that theservice hour interval can now be changed. If nochange is desired, touch the SET UP/SELECTswitch, 4, to select the service alert II indicator. If theword “SERVICE”, 1, is flashing and II, 5, is displayed,the 300-hour service, 2, is required. To cancel thealert after the service has been completed, hold theSTART/STOP, RESET switch, 3, for three seconds.

NOTE: If the START/STOP,RESET switch, 3, is heldfor anadditional three seconds, thepreviously storedservice alert interval will be reset to 0. To reprograma new interval, review the previous programmingsteps.

After the service intervals have been entered, touchthe SET UP/SELECT switch, 4, to view and changethe Ground Speed Calibration constant.

Ground Speed Calibration (Non-Radar TractorsOnly)The ground speed in the display is calibrated in thefactory to suit the static radius of the rear tires.However, should tires of a different size be installed,weights or equipment permanently installed on thetractor that would alter the static radius of the tires bymore than 6 mm (0.25″), the EIC should berecalibrated to display a more accurate groundspeed using the following method:

Ensure that the tire pressures are correct for the loadbeing carried. See “Tire Load/Inflation Tables” inSection 5.

Park the tractor on a firm level surface and carefullymeasure the distance from the center of the rear hubto the ground, Figure 54. This is the static loadedradius.

While in the programming mode, ensure that theword “CAL,” 4, the “FT, 3, or METERS” legend andthe previously entered calibration number, 2, isdisplayed with the left-hand digit, 1, flashing.

If required, change the value of the flashing digitusing the DIGIT SET switch, 7, as describedpreviously in “Programming the Service AlertIndicator.”

Enter the actual static loaded radius of the tire ininches to the closest 0.1″or to the closestmm if usingmetric units.

NOTE: The minimum allowable number is 641 mm(26″).

To select the next digit to the right, use the DIGITSELECTswitch, 6, andwhen that digit is flashing usetheDIGITSETswitch, 7, to change thevalue.Repeatfor the remaining digits.

When the required calibration number is displayed,enter it into the memory by holding the SETUP/SELECT switch, 5, for three seconds. Touch theswitch again to cycle to the next calibration stepwhich is “Area Preset.”

Ground Speed Calibration (Radar-EquippedTractors)Tractors fitted with the optional radar gun automati-cally recalculate and change the loaded radius. Thesteps described in the previous paragraphs are notnecessary. This automatic recalculation occurs overa 15-minute time period when tractor speed is above16 Kph (10 mph).

The operator can manually reset the loaded radiusby zeroing the wheel slip as described earlier in thissection.

NOTE: The loaded radius numbers are onlydisplayed in the EIC. The values are stored in the(CCM) Chassis Control Module.

Area PresetNormally, area would be reset to zero by holding theSTART/STOP switch, 3, down until a “beep” is heardfrom the alarm (approximately three seconds) whenin the AREA PRESET calibration mode. However, itis possible to enter a value other than zero andmeasure additional area worked. Area measuredduring a previous operation can be entered.

The area preset will appear as a four-digit display, 1,with the left-hand digit flashing. “AREA,” 8, will alsobe displayed in the LCD along with the CAL legend,2, and FT, 7, or METERS. Use the DIGIT SET, 6, andDIGIT SELECT, 5, switches, as previously de-scribed, to change the value to the desired setting orto zero.

Touch the SET UP/SELECT switch, 4, and thedisplay will cycle to fault codes, ON/OFF.

55

FAULT CODES ON/OFFFault codes can be displayed during tractoroperation or not displayed to allow full operation ofthe TPM.

In the event that a fault occurs within the tractorelectrical circuits, a malfunction warning symbol“READ YOURMANUAL,” 1, will flash on and off andthe code will be stored.

The tractor is factory set to display normal TPMfunctions and to store fault codes. The “OFF” legend,3, will be displayed.

To view fault codes as they occur, press theSTART/STOP switch, 4. The display will show the“READ YOUR MANUAL” symbol, 1, and the “ON”legend, 2. Press the START/STOP switch again andthe “READ YOUR MANUAL” legend, 1, and the“OFF” legend, 3, will be displayed.

When “ON” is displayed, fault codes will appear asthey occur and also be stored in memory. When“OFF” is displayed, the fault code will be stored inmemory and the “READYOURMANUAL” symbol, 1,will be displayed.

BRAKES

FOOT BRAKESAll tractors are equipped with hydraulic assistedself-adjusting power brakes. The hydraulic assistonly functions with the engine running. With theengine off, the brakeswill still function but with higherpedal effort. Use both parking brake and foot brakesto stop with the engine not running.

CAUTIONUse caution when towing loads at transportspeeds. Reduce speed if towed load weighsmore than the tractor and is not equipped withbrakes. Avoid hard braking applications. (Con-sult the implement operator’s manual forrecommended transport speeds.)

The foot brakes may be operated independently toaid turning or together for normal stopping. Whenoperating in the field it is advised that the brakepedals be unlocked.

WARNINGAlways lock the brakes together when travelingon the highway. Never use the brakes to aidturning at high speed.

To lock the brake pedals together, swing the lockplate, 1, into the slot on the right foot brake pedal, 2.

To unlock the brake, position the plate, 1, into the sloton the left pedal, 3.

The rear fender brake lights will be illuminated whenboth brakes are applied.

Periodically test brake pedals with the enginestopped to make sure manual brake system isfunctioning.

Never ride the brakes by resting a foot on the pedals.This causes unnecessary wear on the brakes.

Tractors equipped with FWD will automaticallyengage the four wheel drive for improved brakingwhen both pedals are depressed.

EMERGENCY STOPPING AND PARKINGBRAKETo apply the parking brake, pull the lever, 1, up. Torelease, raise the lever up slightly, then depressbutton, 2, and lower the lever.

CAUTIONThe parking brake must be engaged before theoperator leaves the seat.

NOTE: A two-minute pulsating audible alarm willsound with a flashing parking brake lamp to remindthe operator to apply the parking brake if the tractorengine is stopped without the parking brake applied.

Theparking brake indicator lampwill illuminatewhenthe parking brake is applied.

IMPORTANT: To prevent the tractor from beingdriven with the parking brake applied or partiallyapplied, the transmission gear shift lever can bemoved but the transmission will not engage if theparking brake is applied. Flashing “P” will bedisplayed in the transmission LCD of the EIC and theparking brake warning lamp will flash along with aone-second audible alarm.

To operate the transmission, return the shift controllever to neutral. Apply the foot brakes, then releasethe parking brake and reselect a forward or reversegear.

TRANSMISSION

POWERSHIFT TRANSMISSIONThoroughly read the following information beforeoperating the transmission.

The Powershift transmission is operated by a singlecontrol lever, 1. Because the transmission has onlyone control lever, it is extremely easy to use.

NOTE: The control lever is equipped with a neutrallock button, 2. The control lever may only be movedto the forward or reverse positions if the neutral lockbutton on the control lever knob is depressed.Neutral may be selected without depressing theneutral lock button.

In place of the usual clutch pedal is an inching pedal.

The powershift transmission control lever is used toselect forward or reverse travel and to changetransmission speeds. Move the lever forward forforward travel and rearward for reverse travel.

The powershift transmission control lever is alsoused to make instantaneous upward or downwardgear changes.Moveand then release the lever to theright for upward changes and to the left for downwardchanges.

Consecutive gear changes may be made, either bymoving and releasing the lever several times or byholding the lever to the left or right and allowing thetransmission to shift through the gears automatically.

WARNINGAlwaysengage thehandbrakebefore leaving thetractor. The transmission will not prevent thetractor from rollingwhen the engine is runningorshut off.

IMPORTANT: The Powershift transmission shouldnot be towed other than to remove it from the field oronto a transporter. Do not attempt to tow-start thetractor. See “Starting The Tractor With JumperLeads” in this section of the manual.

INCHING PEDALThe inching pedal, 1, is installed in place of the clutchpedal found on tractors with a conventionaltransmission. The inching pedal operates like aclutch, for safe, accurate positioning of the tractorwhen hitching up implements or operating inconfined spaces.

76

Optimum inching control, particularly with heavyloads, is achieved in the lowest gears (F1 and R3).The degree of inching control gradually diminishesas higher gears are selected up to 10th speed. Atgears higher than 10th, the electronic managementsystem takes over to protect the system from abuse.

IMPORTANT:To ensuremaximum transmission life,avoid using the inching pedal as a footrest or “riding”the pedal. Use of the inching pedal is only necessaryif the low gears are not slow enough atmoderate/lowengine speeds to give precise control for operationssuch as implement attachment, etc.

When using the inching pedal, particularly at highengine speeds, avoid stalling the engine. Lubricationof the transmission ceasesunder stall conditions andis detrimental to the transmission.

The inching pedal may also be used to automaticallyselect a gear to match load, engine speed and roadconditions. See “Speed Matching” later in thissection.

To stop the tractor in an emergency, depress theinching pedal and apply both foot brakes together.

The inching pedal is not required for normal gearchanges.

TRANSMISSION PROGRAMMING

PROGRAMMING THE PROGRAMMABLEUP SHIFT, DOWN SHIFTTo change the number of gears increased ordecreased when selecting the programmable upshift or down shift, proceed as follows:

• Turn the KEY-START switch off.• Move the control lever to the reverse speed

position, then hold the lever to the left.• While holding the lever to the left, turn on the

KEY-START switch (but do not start the engine.)After three seconds, the digital display shouldshow “U-d” indicating the up/down shift program-ming mode is engaged.

• Return the control lever to the reverse position.89

To program the up shift:

• With the shift lever still in reverse,move the leverto the right andhold for three seconds. Thedigitaldisplay will show an up arrow and the up shiftnumber currently stored in memory.

• Move and release the lever to the right one, twoor three times, as required. The display will show“1”, “2” or “3.” This indicates that when the UPSHIFT switch is depressed, the transmission willup shift one, two or three gears higher than thegear currently being used. To cancel the Up Shiftprogram, move and release the lever to the leftuntil “0” appears.

• Return the lever to neutral after selecting thedesired up shift to store the program.

To program the down shift:

• To change the number of gears that will be downshifted when Down Shift is selected, position theshift lever in neutral. The display should show“U-d.” Move the shift lever to reverse positionthen to the left and hold for three seconds. Thedisplaywill showadownarrowand thedownshiftnumber currently stored in memory.

• Move and release the lever to the right one, twoor three times and the display will show “1”, “2” or“3”. This indicates the number of gears that willbe down shifted from the current gear when theDOWN SHIFT switch is activated. To cancel thedown shift program, move and release the leverto the left until “0” appears.

• Return the lever to neutral after selecting thedesired down shift to store the program.

To exit the program:

PROGRAMMING REVERSE GEARSWhen changing from forward to reverse, thetransmission will normally select the same gear inreverse as was selected for forward travel (whenoperating in gears between 2nd and 10th). Forspecial shuttle shift applications, the Powershiftoffers the advantage of automatically changing thereverse gear up to three gears higher or lower thanthe engaged forward gear. The transmission mayalso be programmed to always select the lowestreverse gear R2.

To program an alternative reverse gear, proceed asfollows:

• Turn the KEY-START switch off.• Move the control lever to the reverse position,

then hold the lever to the right.• While holding the lever to the right, turn on the

KEY-START switch (but do not start the engine).Release the control lever after 5 seconds. Thedigital display should show “0” (unless thetransmission has previously been programmedto select a higher or lower reverse gear.)

To program a higher gear:• From the reverse position, move and release the

lever to the right one, two or three times, asrequired. Thedisplaywill show “1”, “2” or “3”. Thisindicates that when reverse is selected the gearwill be one, two or three gears higher than theforward gear.

To program a lower gear:• From the reverse position, move and release the

lever to the left one, two or three times, thedisplay will show “-1”, “-2” or “-3”. This indicatesthat when reverse is selected the gear will beone, two or three gears lower than the forwardgear.

To program the lowest gear:• Move and release the lever to the left a fourth

time, an “L” will be displayed. This means thatwhichever forward gear is engaged, when thelever is moved rearward the lowest reverse gear(2nd) will always be selected regardless offorward gear.

To cancel the program:• From the reverse position, move and release the

lever to the right until “0” is displayed.NOTE: Remember that only reverse gears between3rd and 11th are available.To exit the program:• Turn the KEY-START switch off. The transmis-

sion is now programmed.

FOUR WHEEL DRIVE (FWD)

INTRODUCTIONThe four wheel drive (FWD) axle comes in eitherlimited slip differential with Automatic TractionManagement or fully locking differential with TractionControl System (TCS) Traction Management. UseFWD Automatic or TCS when operating to obtainmaximum efficiency and traction under any fieldconditions.

ENGAGING AND DISENGAGING FOURWHEEL DRIVEFour wheel drive can be engaged and disengaged inall gears (forward and reverse) during operation andunder full load.Switch, 1, has three operating positions: Off,Automatic or TCS and Full-time On.Fully depress the rear of switch, 1, to disengageFWD, 2.Depress the front of the switch one notch to theAutomatic or TCS position, 3. The AUTO FWDindicator lamp on the instrument console willilluminate to indicate engagement of either Automat-ic or TCS.When the tractor is in Automatic or TCSmode, FWDwill automatically disengagewheneither brakepedalis used to assist in turning or at transport speedsabove 24.2 km/h (15 MPH) which reduces tire wear.The FWD will automatically reengage whentransport speed drops below 24.2 KPH (15 MPH)and when the applied foot brake is released.If the tractor is equipped with TCS, the FWDwill alsodisengage and reengage under the followingconditions:

At speeds of 0-10 kph ( 0-6 MPH) disengage atturn angles of 30 degrees or higher andreengage at angles less than 30 degrees.Or between 10–20 kph ( 6–13 MPH) disengageat turn angles of 25 degrees or higher andreengage at angles less than 25 degrees.

Fully depress the front of the switch to the ONposition, 4, to engage full-time FWD. The indicatorlamp in the switch will illuminate to indicate that theFWD is engaged.In this mode FWD automatically disengages whentransport speed is above 24.2 KPH (15 MPH) whichwill reduce tire wear. FWD will automaticallyreengage when speeds drop below 24.2 KPH (15MPH).

NOTE: FWD will automatically engage to improvebraking any time that both brake pedals aredepressed.

FWD OPERATING PRECAUTIONS

CAUTIONFourwheeldrivegreatly increases traction.Extracaution is needed on slopes. Compared totwo-wheel drive, a fwd tractor maintains tractionon steeper slopes, increasing the possibility ofoverturning.When driving on icy, wet, or graveled surfaces,reduce speed and make sure the tractor iscorrectly ballasted to avoid skidding and loss ofsteering control. For best control, engage fourwheel drive by using full-time on mode, ratherthan auto mode for four wheel braking.

IMPORTANT: To increase front tire life, disengagefour wheel drive when transporting the tractor.Disengagement is automatic at transport speedsabove 24.2 KPH (15MPH). Always use front/rear tirecombinations specified to ensure acceptable tirewear.

IMPORTANT: Disengage FWD when makingextremely tight turns. This action will increase fronttire life, decrease stress on the FWD axle and allowtractor to achieve minimum turn diameters.

DRIVING THE TRACTOR

WARNINGObserve the following precautions when drivingthe tractor:• Watchwhere youaregoing -especially at row

ends, on roads, and around trees.• Use caution when operating on slopes.• Keep the tractor in gearwhengoingdownhill.

Use a low gear to maintain control withminimum braking.

• If the tractor is stuck, back the tractor out toprevent overturning.

• Always use the drawbar for pull-type work.Do not pull from any other part of the tractorsince it may tip backward.

• Dim the tractor headlights when meeting avehicle on the highway at night. Keep thelights adjusted so they do not blind theoperator of an oncoming vehicle.

• Engage the inching pedal slowly whendriving out of a ditch, gully, or up a steephillside. Disengage the inching pedalpromptly should the front wheels rise off theground.

• Reduce speed before turning or applyingbrakes. lock the brake pedals together whentraveling at high speeds or on the highway.Brakewith bothwheels simultaneouslywhenmaking an emergency stop.

• Never apply the differential lock whenturning.

• Use extreme caution and avoid hard applica-tions of the tractor brakes when pullingheavy towed loads at road speeds.

• Towed loads that weighmore than theweightof the tractor should have brakes for safeoperation. Ensure compliance with localregulations.

• Always sit in the driver’s seat while startingor driving the tractor.

• Always use a slow-moving vehicle (SMV)emblem when traveling on public roads.

POWER TAKE-OFF (PTO) - INDEPENDENT

INTRODUCTIONThe independent power take-off (PTO) transfersengine power directly to mounted or trailedequipment. “Independent” means that the PTO maybe engaged, operated and disengaged with thetractor stopped or while moving.

The PTO is electrically activated and has automaticPTO clutch feathering for smooth engagement andbraking.

NOTE: The PTO will automatically disengage whenthe engine is stopped.

Model 2145 tractors have two speed PTO capability.For 540 RPMoperation, a 6-spline 34.9mm (1.375″)shaft is supplied. A 21-spline 34.9 mm (1.375″) shaftis supplied for 1000 RPM operation.

The 6-spline shaft is used to operate equipmenthaving a power requirement up to 65 HP. Equipmenthaving a higher power requirement should becoupled to the 21-spline shaft.

Model 2160, 2180, and 2210 tractors have a 1000RPM PTO. A 21-spline shaft is supplied with themodel 2160 tractor and a 20-spline shaft is suppliedwith the 2180 and 2210 tractors. The 21-spline shafthas a diameter of 34.9 mm (1.375″) while the20-spline shaft is 44.5 mm (1.75″) in diameter.Alternative 20 or 21-spline shafts may be purchasedfrom your dealer. See Option Equipment Sectionfound at the rear of this manual.

PTO MASTER SHIELDThe PTO master shield, 1, is adjustable to threepositions by placing the prop rod, 2, in positions A, Bor C.

Position A - Shield is level. Use this position duringnormal PTO operation.

Position B - Shield is tilted upward. Only use thisposition while attaching implement PTO shaft to thetractor. Lower the shield to position A after the shaftis attached.

Position C - Shield is tilted downward. Use thisposition to provide clearance for the top link whennon-PTO implements are attached.

WARNINGNever stand on the PTO master shield duringPTO operation or anytime. A PTO shaft cover, 3,is providedandshould be installedwhenever thetractor PTO is not is use. The PTO shaft cover isscrew on, screw off.

CHANGING THE MODEL 2145 PTOOUTPUT SHAFTChange the PTO shaft as required for use with 540or 1000 PTO RPM implements.

WARNINGBefore changing the PTO shaft:• Park the tractor so the rear end is

approximately 10 cm (4″) higher than thefront end. This will reduce oil loss whenremoving the shaft.

• Apply the parking brake.• Move the gearshift lever to “NEUTRAL.”• Disengage the PTO by pushing the PTO

selector knob down.• Stop the engine.• Makesure thePTOshaft hasstopped turning.

To change thePTOshaft, remove the “C” clip, 1, fromthe outer sleeve, 2, and pull the shaft, 3, from thehousing. Protect the removed shaft from damage bywrapping it in a cloth.

Clean the replacement shaft. Be sure that thelubrication hole in the side of the shaft is not blocked.

Install the replacement shaft and reinstall the “C” clip.Rotate the shaft while it is being inserted to align thedrive splines which will ease installation.

NOTE: When installing the PTO shaft for 540operation the shaft will usually slide into the innerspline easily until the outer sleeve spine is reached.To install the shaft the remaining distance, rotate theshaft while holding the sleeve, 2, with the pin, 4,which will align the splines and allow the shaft to goin the remaining distance.

IMPORTANT:Neveroperate the tractorwith thePTOshaft removed. The shaft acts as a support forinternal gearing. Operation with the shaft removedmay result in severe damage.

REMOTE CONTROL VALVES

HYDRAULIC SYSTEMS INTRODUCTIONTwo different types of hydraulic remote control valvesystems are used.

Standard Flow SystemThe standard flow system consists of a single axialpiston pump, 1, which supplies fluid to a hydraulicsteering flow divider and remote control valveassembly. The pump is rated at 117 L/min (31GPM).

112

HydraFlow Plus SystemThe HydraFlow Plus system consists of two axialpiston pumps which supply fluid to the high pressurehydraulic system. The system has a total flow ratingof 208 L/min (55 GPM). The remote control valveassembly is divided internally into two separatesystems.

The upper pump, 1, is the same pump used on thestandardhydraulic system. It is ratedat 117L/min (31GPM)andsupplies fluid to thehydraulic steering flowdivider and to remote valve sections I and II.

The lower axial piston pump, 2, is rated at 91 L/min(24 GPM) and supplies fluid to the three-point hitchvalve and remote valve sections III and IV.

The HydraFlow Plus system offers increased flowand dual system capability which will allow for moreefficient operation of large individual hydraulic loadssuch as dual orbit motors and remote cylinders.

One side of the system can be used for the operationof a high flow/low pressure requirement, and theother side of the system can be used for a lowflow/high pressure requirement such as found oncertain hydraulic driven air seeders.

113

WARNINGHydraulic oil escaping under pressure canpenetrate the skin causing serious injury.• Use a piece of cardboard or paper, instead of

your hand, to search for leaks.• Stop the engine and relieve pressure before

connecting or disconnecting lines.• Tighten all connections before starting the

engine or pressurizing lines.

If any fluid is injected into the skin, obtainmedical attention immediately or gangrene mayresult.

REMOTE CONTROL VALVESRemote control valves are available to operateexternal hydraulic cylinders, motors, etc. Up to fourremote control valves may be installed. The valvesare located at the rear of the tractor.

Tractors with a standard hydraulic system can beequipped with three or four remote valves.HydraFlow Plus tractors will be equipped with fourremote valves.

Thebottomcontrol valve, 1, hasabsolute flowpriorityover the remaining valves, 2, 3 and 4.

STANDARD FLOW TRACTORSAfter the number I valve has been satisfied, prioritygoes to the valve with the lowest resistance.

HYDRAFLOW PLUS TRACTORAfter the number I valve has been satisfied, prioritygoes to valve II. The HydraFlow Plus pump suppliesoil to the 3-point hitch valve, valve IV and III, with thevalve having the lowest resistance having priority.

Priority is greatly effected by the setting of the flowcontrol valves. Make sure the flow controls areproperly adjusted. See “Flow Control Adjustment”later in this section for more information.

Load checks are installed in the “extend” port of thelower two control valves I and II.

NOTE: The total system flow is not available tooperate any one single hydraulic circuit. Themaximum available flow from any one remote valveis 102 ± 8 L/min (27 GPM ± 2 GPM)

To turn off the remote electro-hydraulics, depress theengagement switch knob as shown.

IMPORTANT: The remote valve electro-hydraulicengagement switch is provided as an isolator stopswitch. It can be used to immediately stop operationof the rear remote hydraulics by quickly depressingthe knob. The stop switch only controls the remotevalves and has no effect on the three point hitch linkoperation, thereby isolating operation of the rearremote hydraulics from the three point hitch linkoperation.

MANUAL-PROGRAMABLE OPERATIONSWITCHESRocker switch, 1, is used to select either the manualor programmed operation for each of the remotecontrol switches.

Manual OperationManual operation is provided primarily for theoperation of continuous flow applications, such ashydraulic motors. To operate the remote electro-hy-dualic valves in manual mode, depress the top ofrocker switch, 1, as shown. In the manual mode, thecontrol switch, 2, can be operated in the fourpositions, neutral, extend, retract and float.When thecontrol switch is left in either the extend, retract orfloat positions the control switch WILL NOTautomatically return to the neutral position and shutthe flow of oil off to the rear remotes regardless if thesystem reaches maximum pressure. The controlswitch must MANUALLY be returned to neutral.There is no automatic return to neutral. This allowsfor efficient operation of motors without nuisanceshut downs when the remote valve in advertantlyreturns to neutral. When operating hydraulic motorsit is important to always use the RETRACT positionto activate the motor and the FLOAT position to stopthe motor. Using the float position to stop the motorallows the motor to come to a gradual stoppreventing any damage to the motor itself.

IMPORTANT: Never use the neutral position fromthe extend or retract position to stop a hydraulicmotor. Sudden hydraulic lock up of the system cancause extensive damage to the motor.

IMPORTANT:Do not operate the control switches inthe manual mode when operating remote cylinders.When the cylinder has reached the end of its strokethe control switch will not return to neutral and thehydraulic system relief valve will be activated. Thiswill overheat the oil and may lead to failure of thehydraulic and driveline components.

Programmable OperationProgrammable operation is provided primarily foroperation of hydraulic cylinders. This feature allowsthe operator to program a time delay between whenthe control switches are activated and when they willautomatically return toneutral. Tooperate the remoteelectro-hydualic valves in programmed mode,depress the bottom of rocker switch, 1, as shown.When the bottom of the switch is depressed, light, 2,in the switch will begin to flash. This is an indicationto the operator that a timed sequence must beprogrammed into theelectro-hydraulic controler. Thelight will continue to flash for ten second to allow theoperator time to begin the programming sequence.If a program is not started within this ten secondperiod, the controller will not accept any sequenceand the remote control switch, 3, will not remainlatched in either the extend or retract positions.

To program the electro-hydraulic’s, first insure thatthe cylinder hydraulic hoses are properly connectedto the appropriate rear remote valve. Start the tractorengine and insure the electro-hydraulic engagementswitch is up/on. Set the tractor engine RPM’s at thenormal operating speed in which the cylinder is to beoperated. This is important as the programming ofthe control switches is based on a time interval tocorrespond to the time it takes the cylinder ram toextend as well as retract. Any change in engine rpmwill have and effect on hydraulic flow (GPM) andtherefore the time it takes the cylinder to extend andretract. The control switch timed program alwaysremains the same regardless of oil flow (GPM) untilreprogrammed. Therefore consistent operation isrequired for the system to operate correctly. Usingthe corresponding color coded programming switch,1, depress the bottomof the switch so light, 2, beginsto flash. While the light is flashing use control switch,3, to extend the cylinder. As soon as the controlswitch is activated the programming light will go onsolid. Hold the switch until the cylinder is extended tothe desired position and then return the switch to theneutral position. When the switch is returned to theneutral position the programming light will onceagain begin to flash indicating that the retract phaseof the cycle needs to be programmed. Next usecontrol switch, 3, to retract the cylinder. As soon asthe control switch is activated the programming lightwill go on solid. Hold the switch until the cylinder isretracted to the desired position and then return theswitch to the neutral position. After the second phasehas been completed the programming light will goout indicating that the programming has beenmemorized. The control switch timed operation isnow programmed for the extend and retractoperation of the cylinder.

Repeat the above sequence to program theremaining control switches.

Programming of the control switch can be preformedin either sequence, extend/retract, retract/extend orone sequence only, extend or retract. The programfor the individual control switch, 3, will remain thesame even when the engine is stopped and theignition switch is in the off position, as long as theprogramming switch, 1, remains in the programpositionas shown.Themaximumallowable time limitfor any programmed timed operation is two minutes.Programming the control switches with the engineand hydraulic flow off is possible however accuracyof actual operation will be marginal. Whenever ahydraulic application is changed, the controlswitches should be reprogrammed to suit the newoperation.

When operating in the timed programmed mode,feathering of the hydraulic flow is possible bymovingthe control switch variably any where between theneutral position and the fully opened position. Thetimed operation sequence only beings once thecontrol switch has been locked in the fully openedposition.

Should the control switch be moved to the floatposition no timed program is possible and the controlswitch must be returned back to neutral manually.

QUICK COUPLERSEach control valve has a pair of self-sealing,leverless quick couplers to facilitate remote cylinderconnection. These couplers also permit remotecylinder hoses to be pulled from the coupler if animplement should become disconnected from thetractor. The left couplers, 1, are identified by anextended cylinder symbol containing an arrowpointing in the direction of cylinder travel molded onthe cover. The right couplers, 2, are identified by aretracted cylinder symbol containing an arrowpointing in the direction of cylinder travel molded onthe cover. The covers pivot open by pressing on tab3, to expose the quick coupler.

The covers are color coded (top) gray, brown, blue,green (bottom) to correspond to the control switchesin the cab console.

The couplers will accept standard (1/2″ )SAE or ISOtips. The couplers canbe connected or disconnectedunder pressure. Disconnect pressure is proportionalto system pressure. Increased system pressure willrequire increased force to disconnect the couplers.

To connect a remote cylinder hose, open the couplerdust cover. Clean, then insert the male couplermaking sure the coupler is correctly seated.

Actuate the remote valve to supply hydraulicpressure which will complete the hydraulic couplingof the tractor and implement.

To ease removal and installation of the couplers,relieve the pressure in the system. Securely supportthe implement. Make sure no one will be injured bymoving equipment when relieving pressure in thesystem. Move the control switch to the float positionwith the engine running. This will relieve thepressure. Turn the engine off with the control switchstill in float. After the engine is shut down return thecontrol switch to the neutral position. The couplerscan now be connected or disconnected with minimalpressure and effort.

CONNECTING SINGLE-ACTINGCYLINDERSConnect the hose from a single-acting cylinder to theleft extend/raise coupler on the remote control valve,as previously described.

To extend a single-acting cylinder, pull the controlswitch back to the “extend” position.

Manually return the switch to the neutral position tostop the cylinder before it is fully extended or allowthe valve to return to neutral automatically when thecylinder reaches the end of its stroke and timedoperation.

To retract a single-acting cylinder, move the switchfully forward to the “float” position.

IMPORTANT:Alwaysuse the “float” position to lowera single-acting cylinder. The “retract” position is fordouble-acting cylinders only.

CONNECTING DOUBLE-ACTINGCYLINDERSConnect the feed hose from a double-acting cylinderto the left extend/raise coupler on the remote controlvalve and the return hose to the right retract/lowercoupler, as previously described. To extend adouble-acting cylinder, pull the control switch back tothe “extend” position.

To retract a double-acting cylinder, push the controlswitch forward past neutral to the “retract” position.Further forward movement of the switch will select“float” whichwill allow the cylinder to extendor retractfreely. This feature is very helpful when carrying outwork with equipment such as scraper blades andloaders.

OPERATING CONTINUOUS FLOWHYDRAULIC EQUIPMENTContinuous flowhydraulic equipment (e.g., hydraulicmotors) should be connected to the 1st (lowest)remote control valve couplerswith the pressure hoseconnected to the right retract coupler and the returnhose connected to the low pressure return circuit asdescribed previously in this section.

NOTE: For very low flow hydraulic motors, it may benecessary to use thenon-load check couplers (3rdor4th couplers up.)

The first valve has priority over the remaining valves.This will ensure a constant flow of oil to the motors.

Use the flow control to regulate themotor speed.The #1 flow control should be adjusted toregulate the orbit motor speed. If the flow controlis open too far, the 3-point hitch andother remotevalves will slow down or stop. This will ensurethat the hydraulic system will only supply the oilrequired by the motor. Extra pump capacity willnot be used except when other remote valvesections are operated.With the remote control valve switch fully forward inthe “float” position, the motor will be stationary. Thehydraulic motor will operate if the switch is pulledback to the “retract” position. To stop themotor,movethe switch from the retract position to the floatposition. In the float position the motor will be able tostop slowly, which will not damage the motor.

IMPORTANT: When operating continuous flowequipment, the remote control valve switch must notbe moved rearward to the neutral or raise positionsas damage to the equipment may result.

Observe the following to further protect the tractorand equipment.

• Do not open any bypass valve in the equipmentor motor. Use the flow control to regulate the rateof flow or speed of the motor.

• Do not hold the remote control valve switch tooperate the equipment.

• To ensure optimum hydraulic oil cooling, operatecontinuous flow equipment at the highest flowsetting (by use of the flow control) and lowestengine speed that will give the required machineperformance and speed.

• Do not use the #1 valve circuit to operatecontinuous flow equipment that requires morethan 137.90 bar (2,000 PSI). The #1 flow controlmay shut the rest of the system down if thecontinuous pressure is too high. Connect theseloads to any other valve section.

HYDRAULIC MOTOR APPLICATION

1. Use hydraulic motors designed for Open Centeror Pressure/Flow Load Compensating hydraulicsystems only. Do Not use a hydraulic motordesigned for closed center hydraulic systemsunless it is adapted for use by removing the inletrestrictor.

2. Rating: Hydraulic motors up to 1.26 L/SEC (20.0GPMUS)@15.50MPa (2250 PSI) can be used.

3. Be sure the hydraulic motor does not haverestrictors in the ports or fittings.

4. Hydraulic motors less than 0.63 L/SEC (10 GPMUS) may be equipped with 12.7 mm (1/2″) IDhoses and standard (ASAE/SAE/ISO) couplers.

5. Hydraulic motors greater than 0.63 L/SEC (10GPMUS)shouldbeconnectedwith (3/4″ ) hosesand (ASAE/SAE/ISO) couplers to preventexcessive restriction and heat generation.

6. It is recommended that the low pressure returnline kit (described earlier in this section) beinstalled. The use of the low-pressure returncircuit will reduce back pressure in the remotehydraulic return line which will result in moreefficient hydraulic motor operation. The low-pressure return circuit can also be used inapplications where low return oil pressure isdesired to improve implement operation such aswith orbit motor case drain lines, or implementmounted hydraulic control valves.

OPERATING REMOTE EQUIPMENTSIMULTANEOUSLY OR REMOTEEQUIPMENT AND HYDRAULIC LIFTSIMULTANEOUSLY

NOTE: Hydraulic pump output varies with enginespeed. Oil flow will be relatively constant in theremote control valve circuits if the flow control is usedto provide reduced oil flow, thus providing constantoperating speed for hydraulic motors, etc. even ifengine speed varies. Maintain the engine speedabove the minimum required for simultaneousoperation of all required circuits and vary groundspeed by selection of the appropriate gear.

If operating two or more remote control valvessimultaneously or remote valves and hydraulic lift, allthe flow control knobs should be adjusted to provideapartial flow.Otherwise, all the available flowmaybedirected to the full flow circuit when the pressure inthat circuit is less than that of the other circuits in use.

BLEEDING REMOTE CYLINDERSWhen connecting a cylinder with trapped air, i.e., anew cylinder, one that has been out of service or onethat has had the hoses disconnected, it will benecessary to bleed the cylinder to remove the air.

With thehoses connected to the remote control valvecouplers at the rear of the tractor, position thecylinder with the hose end uppermost and extendand retract the cylinder sevenor eight timesusing theremote control switch. Check the rear axle oil levelbefore and after operating the remote cylinder.

POWER BEYOND APPLICATIONSAll BVI Genesis tractors are “Power Beyond” readyin that another closed center load sensing valvemaybe incorporated with the Genesis closed center loadsensing hydraulic system.

The pressure for the Power Beyond is obtained fromthe (1”) ORB port, 1, (1 5/16--12 thread) on the topcover of the valve. If the tractor is equipped withHydraFlow Plus, replace the elbow fitting located atport 1 with a tee fitting to access the supply pressure.

The sense line is attached to the (1/4”) ORB port, 2,(7/16 -- 20 thread) located on the rear face of thevalve end cover.

The return line from theexternal valvewouldgo to thelow pressure return port on the HPL cover. This isexplained earlier in this section.

THREE-POINT HITCH CONTROLS

INTRODUCTIONThe electro-hydraulic three-point hitch controlsystem employs electronic switches and a micro-computer to control the hydraulic system, whichraises and lowers the 3-point linkage.

MODES OF OPERATIONThe electro-hydraulic three-point hitch system offersthree modes of operation, position, draft, and float.

Position Control provides accurate and sensitivecontrol of implements that operate at a fixed position.Once set, position control will maintain the selectedimplement height.When operating in position controlthe tractor and implement become, in effect, a rigidunit. Irregularities in the soil surface will cause theimplement to rise and fall according to movement ofthe tractor.

Draft Control provides for a uniform load to bemaintained on the tractor by automatically adjustingthe working height/depth of soil engagingimplements.

Thechanges indraft loadingare sensedelectronical-ly through special load sensing pins used to connect

the lower links to the rear axle housing. These pinssend and electronic signal to the computer which, inturn, signals the hydraulic system to respond byraising or lowering the implement to maintain therequested draft load.

Float Control provides a means of operatingimplements that operate with the contour of the soilsurface, including implements that operate withgauge wheels or other devices that limit operatingdepth. Float control also allows for lateral movementof the implement on uneven surfaces.

The set-up and operation of each mode of operationis described later in this section.

NOTE: The electro-hydraulic three point hitch is aseparate system from the electro-hydraulic remotevalves. The engagement switch for the electro-hydraulic remote valves that can be used as aisolator switch has no operational control over theelectro-hydraulic three point hitch. Depressing theengagement switch will have no effect on stoppingthe three point hitch in an emergency situation.

CONTROLSThe electro-hydraulic three-point hitch controlsystem is operated from a console to the right of theoperator’s seat. The console houses:

1. Lift control lever2. Position/draft sensitivity control knob (if equipped)3. Drop rate control knob4. Height limit control knob5. Slip limit control knob (if equipped)

126

LIFT CONTROL LEVERThe lift control lever, 1, controls implement height orworking depth in position control and draft loading indraft control. Pull the lever rearward to raise the3-point lift, and push forward to lower in positioncontrol. In draft control moving the lever forwardincreases the load demanded from the hitch andmoving the lever rearward decreases the loaddemanded.

Anadjustable lift control lever stop, 2, is located to theright of the lift lever. The stop sets the lower or uppertravel of the lift lever. To adjust, loosen the stop knoband slide the stop forward or rearwards to contact thelift lever in the desired position. Tighten the stopknob.

The stop should be placed in front of the lever whentransporting implements.

SECTION 2 - OPERATION

2-88

POSITION/DRAFT SENSITIVITYCONTROL KNOB(ELECTRONIC DRAFT CONTROL ONLY)The position/draft sensitivity knob, 1, (if equipped), isused to select position control or draft control. A decalencircling the knob has six numbered positions, toindicate the degree of response selected. Turn theposition/draft sensitivity knob towards the full positioncontrol setting (position 1) to decrease the system’sresponse to a change in draft loading. The knob isdetented at the position control setting (position 1 – knobfully counterclockwise).

IMPORTANT: Always set the position/draft sensitiv-ity knob to the full position control setting (position 1)at any time when not actually operating in draftcontrol, such as when attaching equipment,transporting equipment or when no equipment isattached.

If precise depth control is required, the position/draftsensitivity knob must be in the full position controlsetting.

Whenever the draft control feature is selected, theimplement operating depth will automatically vary asrequired to maintain a fixed load, as determined by thelift control lever, on the tractor engine.

IMPORTANT: Draft control will work with a variety ofdraft implements, however, hitch response to lowdraft/shallow implements will be difficult to obtain ifsufficient draft load is not detected on the load sensepins. Using draft control with implements that do notcreate a sufficient draft load will result in the implementgoing to a lower position seeking more draft. SeeDETERMINING 3-POINT HITCH MODE OF OPERA-TION in this section to verify if draft control operation issuited for your implement.

DROP RATE CONTROL KNOBThe drop rate control knob, 2, controls the speed atwhich the lower links and implement drop during alowering cycle. This knob has a decal encircling itwith six numbered positions. Position 1 is the slowestrate and is denoted by a “tortoise” symbol. Position6 is the fastest setting, denoted by a “hare” symbol.

HEIGHT LIMIT CONTROL KNOBThe height limit control knob, 3, limits the height thatthe linkage may be raised. Adjust this knob to avoidthe possibility of a large implement damaging thetractor cab when fully raised.

Turning the knob fully counterclockwise prevents the3-point hitch from raising above mid height. Turningthe knob fully clockwise will allow the 3-point hitch toraise to full height.

SECTION 2 - OPERATION

2-89

3-POINT HITCH STATUS LIGHTThe status light, 1, serves two purposes:

-- Steady light signifies “hitch disabled”. The “hitchdisabled” warning is also duplicated on theinstrument panel as an LCD symbol, 1, Figure128.

-- Flashing light means that there is a malfunctionin the 3-point hitch system circuits. Should amalfunction occur, consult your authorizeddealer.

129

The “hitch disabled” LCD symbol, 1, and warninglight signifies that the lift control lever position doesnot correspond to the position of the lower links. Thelower link cannot move until the hitch is “captured”.

The “hitch Disabled” warning will display if:

-- The lift control lever was inadvertently movedwith the engine stopped.

-- The external fender switches have been used toraise or lower the hitch.

-- The 3-point hitch arm position changed with theengine stopped.

NOTE: To “capture the hitch” and put the lift controllever back in phase with the lower links:

1. Cycle the fast raise/work switch, Figure 129, tothe raise then lower position.

2. Slowly move the position control lever fullyrearward then forward until the status light goesout, and the hitch enable symbol, 3, appears.

The hitch enabled symbol, 3, is displayed to advisethe operator when the three-point linkage is in phasewith the lift control lever. When the three-pointlinkageand lift control leverbecomeoutof phasewithone another, this display will disappear and the hitchdisabled symbol, 1, will display.

The digital hitch position display, 2, on the instrumentpanel indicates the position of the lower links over ascale of “0” to “99”. A display of “0” indicates that thelinks are fully lowered, and a display of “99” indicatesthey are fully raised.

FAST RAISE/WORK SWITCHThe FAST RAISE/WORK switch, 1, allows theoperator to rapidly raise the implement to thepositionset by the height limit control and to lower theimplement back down to the position set by the liftcontrol lever, without disturbing these settings.

This feature allows the operator to raise theimplement at the headland and return the implementto the same operating conditions.

To raise the implement, press the rear of the switch,2. Press the front of the switch, 3, to lower theimplement to the work position.

To lower the hitch below the position set by the liftcontrol lever, without disturbing the settings, pressand hold the front of the switch, 4. When the switchis released the hitch will return to the position set bythe lift control lever.

NOTE: The FAST RAISE/WORK switch should beswitched to the raise position when transportingequipment.

The FAST RAISE/WORK switch is also used torecapture the hitch after using the external fenderswitches.

131

SLIP LIMIT CONTROL KNOB (If Equipped)The slip limit control knob, 1, (if equipped) is inaddition to the optional radar sensor unit. It allows theoperator to select a wheel slip limit that whenexceeded overrides the electronic draft controlsystem. When the selected percent slip thresholdhas been exceeded the hitchwill raise until thewheelslip is below the preset level. When the percent slipis reduced below the threshold the hitch will return tothe preset operation. The slip override lamp, 2, isilluminated whenever the slip exceeds the presetthreshold and remains on until the slip is reduced.The knob is detented at the “Off” position (knob fullyclockwise). A digital display of wheel slip, and a slipalarm may be programmed into the electronicinstrument cluster. See “Electronic InstrumentCluster Programming”.

Slip limit control will alsowork in position control if thetractor is equipped with load sensing pins.

NOTE:Slip limit control will not operate below 0.8 km(0.5 mph) ground speed.

NOTE: Slip limit control will disengage when the3-point hitch is raised with the fast raise switch or theposition control lever. The Slip limit control willreengage after the 3-point hitch is lowered. Theimplement must enter the ground and provide asignificant draft load to reengage the slip limit controloption.

FIELD OPERATIONAfter attaching an implement to the three-point hitch,adjust theheight limit control knob, 2, to prevent largeimplements from damaging the tractor cab, andadjust the drop rate control knob, 3, to set the desiredrate at which the implement will drop when the hitchis lowered.

To set the height limit control, proceed as follows:

• Turn the height limit control knob, 2, fullycounterclockwise which will allow the hitch toraise to one-half its full height.

• Pull the lift lever, 1, fully to the rear.• Slowly turn the height limit control knob, 2,

clockwise to raise the implement until no lessthan 100 mm (4″) clearance is remainingbetween the tractor and implement or maximumhitch is reached.

Adjust the rate or implement drop by rotating thedroprate knob, 3. Turn the knob clockwise to speed up thedrop rate or counterclockwise to slow down the droprate.

IMPORTANT:When first setting the implement up forwork, keep the drop rate control knob in the slowdropposition (“tortoise” symbol).

NOTE: The drop rate control only affects the lowerlink/implement drop rate when the implement is notengaging the ground.

POSITION CONTROL OPERATIONNOTE:SeeDETERMINING3-POINTHITCHMODEOF OPERATION in this section for procedures toverify if position control operation is needed for theimplement being used.

To operate in position control:

1. Turn the position/draft sensitivity control knob, 4,fully counterclockwise (position 1) into thedetented position.

NOTE: Failure to turn the position/draft sensitivityknob into the detented position will cause the hitch tomake automatic hitch corrections as it searches fora draft load.

2. Use the 3-point hitch lift control lever, 1, to controlmovement of the hitch. Pull the lever rearward toraise the 3-point hitch and push the lever forwardto lower the hitch. The EIC hitch position display,2, Figure128,will show the current hitch position.

3. Once the required implement working height hasbeen established, adjust the lift control lever stop, 5,to set the implement height. To adjust, loosen theknob on the stop andmove it so that it is against thefront edge of the lift control lever. Retighten theknob. Whenever the lift control lever is pulledrearwards to raise the implement, the implementwillalways return to the same working height when thelever is pushed forward to contact the stop.

NOTE: If required, the lift control lever may be easedsideways (to the left) to bypass the adjustable stop.

4. Upon reaching the headland, use the raise/workswitch to raise and lower the implement.

IMPORTANT: Once the correct working depth isestablished, the stop set, and the height limit is set,it is recommended that the FAST RAISE/WORKswitch be used. Repeated movements of the controllever against the stop will eventually move the stopand change the depth setting.

WARNINGWhen transporting equipment on the three-pointlinkage, select position control, raise the imple-ment and set the adjustable stop, 5, against thefront edge of the lift control lever to preventaccidental forward movement of the lever whichcould result in attached equipment lowering andbecoming damaged, damaging the road surface orcausing personal injury. Set the raise/work switchto the raise position as an additional transportlock.

DRAFT CONTROL OPERATION(If Equipped)

NOTE:SeeDETERMINING3-POINTHITCHMODEOF OPERATION in this section for procedures toverify if draft control operation is needed for theimplement being used.

To operate in draft control, adjustment of thedraft/position sensitivity knob, 4, is required. Thefollowing table may be used as a guide to adjust thesettings to suit the implement and field conditions:

Implement Soil Position/Draft Knob

Fully mounted - clay soil 3-4- sandy soil 2-3

Semi-mounted - clay soil 5-6- sandy soil 4-5

Position 6 on the position/draft sensitivity knob (fullyclockwise, decal indicating plowengagedwith soil) isthe most reactive draft setting and variations in soildensity will cause the hydraulic system to respondwith large movements of the linkage and attachedimplement.

Turning the position/draft sensitivity knob counter-clockwise (towards position 1) will progressivelydecrease the amount and rate of linkage movementrelative to variations in soil density.

Moving the lever forward increases the loaddemanded from the hitch and moving the leverrearward decreases the load demanded.

To set the draft control system perform the followingprocedures:

1. Adjust the position/draft sensitivity knob to thedesired setting, using the table listed as a guide.

2. Drive the tractor into the field and lower theimplement by pushing the lift control lever, 1,forward until the implement load causes thetractor wheel slip to increase.

3. Pull back on the lift control lever until theimplement starts to run more shallow and thewheel slip is acceptable.

4. Make slight adjustments to both the lift controllever and the position/draft sensitivity knob toachieve the desired performance.

NOTE: Changing the position/draft sensitivity knobsetting may require slight changes in the lift controllever position to maintain the desired implementworking depth.

NOTE: For optimum draft control performance boththe lift control lever and the position/draft sensitivityknob need to be set properly.

5. Once the required implement draft operation hasbeen established, adjust the lift control leverstop, 5. To adjust, loosen the knob on the stopand move it so that it is against the front edge ofthe lift control lever. Retighten the knob.Whenever the lift control lever is pulledrearwards to raise the implement, the implementwill always return to the same draft operationwhen the lever is pushed forward to contact thestop.

NOTE: If required, the lift control lever may be easedsideways (to the left) to bypass the adjustable stop.

SECTION 2 - OPERATION

2-93

6. Observe the implement as it pulls through theground. If the hydraulic system reaction is toogreat, reduce system reaction by turning thedraft/sensitivity knob, 4, counterclockwise by afew degrees. If implement movement is still toogreat, progressively rotate the knob counterclock-wise (toward the position control setting) to furtherreduce the hitch reaction to a level suited to thesoil conditions. When the draft control is adjustedproperly the digital hitch position display willincrease and decrease in value at a uniform rate.

7. Once set, the tractor hydraulic system willautomatically adjust implement depth to main-tain an even pull (draft load) on the tractor toreduce wheel slip to a minimum.

8. Upon reaching the headland, use the raise/workswitch to raise and lower the implement.

IMPORTANT: Once the correct working depth isestablished, the stop set, and the height limit is set,it is recommended that the FAST RAISE/WORKswitch be used. Repeated movements of the controllever against the stop will eventually move the stopand change the depth setting.

Depending on the position of the lift control leverrelative to the lower links, the speed of lift willautomatically adjust. This means that if a largemovement of the lift control lever is made then thelower linkswill respond rapidly. As the links approachthe position set by the lift control lever,movementwillslow.

NOTE: The drop rate control only affects the lowerlink/implement drop rate when the implement is notengaging the ground.

IMPORTANT: As tractor and implement useincreases performance will vary. Badly worn orimproperly adjusted implements will cause poorelectronic draft control response.

ATTACHING 3-POINT EQUIPMENTBefore attaching equipment to your tractor:

• Besure theguideblocks arepositioned to “fit” theequipment as outlined under the “Sway Blocks”and “Guide Blocks, Spacers and Shims”headings.

• Remove the swinging drawbar, if close-mountedequipment is being attached.

IMPORTANT: Always set the position/draft sensitiv-ity control knob in position control when attachingequipment, transporting equipment, when noequipment is attached or at any time when notoperating in draft control.

NOTE:See also “External 3-Point HitchControls” formore details.

Most equipment can be attached to your tractor asfollows:

1. Position the tractor so that the lower link hitchpoints are level with and slightly ahead of theimplement hitch pins.

2. Stop the engine and engage the parking brake.

3. Release the flexible link ends, and slip the endson the implementhitchpins.Securewith the linchpins. Start the engine and slowly back the tractorup until the flexible link ends lock in the operatingposition.Stop theengineandengage theparkingbrake.

IMPORTANT: Before transporting or operatingequipment, be sure that the link ends are locked inthe operating position.

4. Lengthen or shorten the top link, until theimplement mast pin can be inserted through themast and top link. Adjust the top link to the initial724 mm (28.5″) setting.

5. Attach any remote equipment.

6. After attaching implement and before actualoperation check that:

• No interference occurs with tractor compo-nents.

• Top link does not contact the PTO guard withimplement at its lowest position.

• PTO driveline (if equipped) is not overex-tended, bottomed out or at an excessiveangle and driveline shield does not contactPTO guard or drawbar.

IMPORTANT: Before operating PTO driven equip-ment, check tomakesure thedrivelinewill not bottomout or become disengaged. See “Attaching Equip-ment to the PTO Shaft” heading in the “IndependentPTO” section for details.

IMPORTANT: When attaching mounted or semi-mounted equipment to the 3-point linkage or whenattaching trailed equipment to the drawbar or hitch,besure that there is adequate clearancebetween theimplement and the tractor.

Check theclearances in the raisedpositionby raisingthe implement carefully using the lift control lever,Figure 125, in position control. Check the swingclearance by performing a series of left- andright-hand turns with the tractor and implementcombination.

IMPLEMENT TO CAB CLEARANCE

CAUTIONSome mounted and semi-mounted equipmentmay interfere with and damage the cab.

WARNINGYou may be injured by broken glass or the cabROPS may be damaged if equipment interfereswith the cab.

To prevent cab damage, proceed as follows:

1. Attach the equipment as outlined previously.

2. Check for adequate clearance by slowly raisingthe equipment with the lift control lever inPOSITION CONTROL. If the equipment clearsthe cabby100mm(4″) ormorewhen fully raised,proceed to operate the equipment. If any part ofthe equipment comes closer than 100mm (4″) tothe cab, do the following:

Adjust the 3-point hitch height limit control knob,Figure 126, to limit upwardmovement so there isa minimum of 100 mm (4″) clearance betweenthe cab and the implement.

IMPORTANT: The height limit must be adjusted tolimit hitch height when the RAISE/WORK switch isactivated.

7. If the toe-in is 6 mm - 13 mm (1/4″ - 1/2″) and theright tire does not contact the end of the cylinderrod in a full right-hand turn, the toe-in is correctand no adjustment is needed.

NOTE: If toe-in is not as specified, proceed to step 8.

172

Use the following procedure to adjust toe-in:

NOTE: Before adjusting the toe-in, measure thedistance, 1, between the inner, 2, and outer, 4, tie rodends on both tie rods. Adjust the tie rods to achieveequal measurements before proceeding. This willensure that both tires track evenly.

8. Loosen jam nut, 3, on each tie rod.

9. Remove the outer tie rod ends, 4, from eachspindle, 5.

10. Adjust each tie rod equally to achieve 6 mm - 13mm (1/4″ - 1/2″) total toe-in.

11. Install each outer tie rod end, 4, and torque theretaining nut, 6, to 136 N·m (100 ft.-lbs.). Installa new cotter pin on each tie rod end.

12. Tighten the jam nut, 3, on each tie rod.

13. Check toe-in measurement.

14. Perform a full right-hand turn and check that thetire does not contact the steering cylinder rod.

WARNINGOwners should ensure that all steering compo-nents are maintained in a reliable and satisfacto-ry condition toensure safeoperationandcomplywith legal requirements.

BALLASTING AND TIRES

192

1. Front weight2. Rear weight

BALLASTINGMaximum tractor performance is dependent uponproper ballasting and tire selection. Maximumefficiency will be achieved when tractor weight iscorrect for the application.

Selecting the proper size and type of front and reartires is also important in achieving maximum tractorefficiency. Various sizes and types of tires areavailable for your tractor. Your authorized dealer canassist you with this subject.

The tires selected for your tractor must be able tosupport the weight of the tractor and equipment. Thetires must also be able to provide adequate tractionto utilize the tractor horsepower and turn it into usefuldrawbar horsepower.

If your tractor has radial tires, you will find that theyproduce superior performance over similar bias plytires. You will have to adjust the ballast, tire pressureand tractor weight split between the front and rearaxles for various loads and conditions to achieve thebest ride and performance.

Page 177: Buhler Versatile - OwnerIQdl.owneriq.net/8/85708321-657d-6c34-29fc-5ca26a10d63f.pdf · Buhler Versatile is liable for damages to other engine components caused by the failure under

SECTION 2 - OPERATION

2-131

Always maintain the proper air pressure in the tire tocarry the load. Do not over inflate radial or bias plytires. Radial tires will work with LOWER airpressures. Radial tires will show up to 20% sidewalldeflection or BULGE when properly inflated.

The force that enables the tires to drive the tractormust be transmitted through the tire sidewalls. Thetires work best when all the tires on a given axle areworking at the same rate. Think of them like a shockabsorber; they must respond the same way to sharethe load equally.

Factors Determining Best Tire Performance

Good Performance

Proper air pressure for the load

Proper sidewall deflection

8-15% wheel slip

Proper tire size for expected load

Less than 50% fill of liquid ballast

Maintaining equal tire pressure in all tireson a given axle

Poor Performance

High or low air pressure

Stiff sidewalls

High or low wheel slip

Overloaded or underloaded tire

Excessive liquid calcium in a tire

Treating tires on an axle differently

SECTION 2 - OPERATION

2-132

SELECTING BALLASTWhen tractor horsepower loads vary, the optimumweight of the tractor will change. This means thatballastmay have to be added or removed tomaintainthe best tractor performance. Proper ballast willgreatly improve tractor operation and ride.

NOTE:Using theseprocedureswill result in radial plytires and bias-ply tires having different ballast. Radialtires require less overall weight to achieve the sametractive effort as bias tires. Proper ballasting of radialtires is commonly achieved with cast iron weightsalone. While bias tires commonly require both castiron weights and liquid ballast in the tires.

Always treat all the tires on a tractor axle equallywhen selecting ballast and tire pressure.

The amount of ballast required is affected by:

• Shipping weight of tractor• Soil and traction conditions• Type of implement: fully/semi-mounted or trailed

type• Working speed• Tractor horsepower load• Tires - type, size and number of tires• Tire pressure

ADAPTING BALLAST TO WORK LOADAND GROUND SPEEDDo not usemore ballast than needed. Excess ballastshould be removed when it is not required.

Do not add excessive weight to the tractor to pullheavy loads. Reduce the load because pulling alighter load at a higher ground speed ismore efficientand easier on the tractor.

The recommendations in this manual are based ona 8-10 kph (5-6 MPH) ground speed. If the tractor isoperated below 8 kph (5 MPH), additional ballast isrequired to maintain proper traction. This will causeexcessive strain on the tractor drive line compo-nents.

NOTE: Heavy draft loads should not be continuallypulled in a gear that results in laboring the engine atground speeds below 8 kph (5 MPH). Reduce theload as required to achieve recommended groundspeeds.

Too Little Ballast

Rough ride

Excessive wheel slip

Power loss

CHECKING WHEEL SLIPPAGEA good way to monitor ballasting requirements is tocheck the drive wheel slippage. Slippage should be8-15% in normal field conditions.

If the drive wheels slip excessively, more weightmaybe required.However, remember thatexcessive loadand/or poor traction conditions will also causeexcessive wheel slip.

Wheel slippage will vary as field conditions change,so always check slippage several times and averagethe results. Remove weight if slippage is less than8%.

Wheel slippage is measured automatically by theoptional radar in the Tractor Performance Monitor.

Wheel slippage can also be measured manually asdescribed below.

1. Mark a tire with a large white mark.

2. With the tractor fully loaded,mark a starting pointon the ground.

3. Keep tractor loaded and mark the ground againwhen tire completes 10 full revolutions.

4. Drive back over the course again at workingspeed, with implement raised. Count tirerevolutions between the same two marks.

5. Use second count of tire revolutions and thewheel slippage chart to determine percentage ofslippage.

NOTE:A rate of 10-15 percent for two-wheel-drive or8-12 percent for FWD equipped tractors is ideal.

6. Adjust ballast or load to give correct slippage.

NOTE: Available drawbar horsepower is reducedwhen wheel slip drops below 8 percent becauseenergy is wasted carrying excess weight on thetractor.

BALLAST LIMITATIONS

IMPORTANT: Do not exceed the tractor grossvehicle weight shown below. This can cause anoverload condition that may void the warranty andmay exceed the load rating of the tires and ROPSstructure.

Ballast should be limited by the tire capacity or tractorcapacity. Each tire has a recommended carryingcapacity which should not be exceeded. If a greateramount of weight is needed for traction, either alarger single tire or duals should be used.

Ballast can be added by bolting on cast iron weight,or by adding liquid calcium chloride in the tires.Bolt-on cast iron weight is recommended because itcan easily be removed when not needed.

IMPORTANT: The maximum recommended grossvehicle weight (gvw) is:

2145: 9875 kg (21,750 lbs)2160: 14300 kg (31,500 lbs)2180: 14300 kg (31,500 lbs)2210: 14300 kg (31,500 lbs)

ESTIMATING BALLAST REQUIREMENTSIt is possible to estimate the tractor’s operatingweight and to calculate the amount of front and rearballast required. These calculations are generalstarting points. Contact your authorized dealer orlocal tire distributor for more information.

POINTS TO REMEMBERTwo-wheel drive and FWD equipped tractors shouldbe operated in a weight range of 54 kg to 64 kg (120to 140 lbs) per PTO horsepower in order to efficientlydevelop drawbar horsepower.

Two-wheel drive tractors should be ballasted toachieve 70% rear and 30% front weight distribution.

Tractors with FWD should be ballasted to achieve60% rear and 40% front weight distribution withtowed high draft implements and three-point hitchmounted implement.

CAUTIONSee page 2-130 for information about properballasting for front end stabilization.

NOTE: For themost accurate results when ballasting a tractor, use the actual weights of the front and rear axlesof the tractor to be ballast. This will require weighing the individual axles on a truck scale. These examples areprovided to explain how to estimate the amount of ballast required. The specifications provided here are basedupon current available information and are subject to change.

Use these examples to estimate your tractor’s ballast requirements.

REMEMBER THAT YOU CAN INCREASE OR DECREASE THE POUNDS PER PTO HORSEPOWER NUM-BER ( RANGE IS 54-64 kg (120-140 lbs) ) DEPENDING UPON YOUR ANTICIPATED LOAD.

2-136

IMPORTANT: To extend tractor life and avoidexcessive soil compaction and rolling resistance, donot over ballast. Ballast should never exceed theweight needed to provide traction for sustained fullpower loads.

TIRES AND BALLASTINGThe tire chart in Section 5 shows the load carryingcapacity per tire.

IMPORTANT: Do not overload tires. If maximumtractor weight exceeds the load rating of the tire aslisted in the tire chart, reduce load, install higher ratedply tires, or reduce road speed.

Calculating Tire and Axle LoadsNOTE: Include the weight of fully raised three-pointhitch implements when calculating rear axle loadwhen operating at road speeds for an extendedperiod. An example is:

Model 2180 with UltraSteer with rear axle weightswith duals = 7470 kg (16434 lbs)

3-point hitch load fully raised = 2727 kg (6000 lbs)

Total rear axle loadwithout additional ballast = 10197kg (22434 lbs)

Estimated additional ballast 439 kg (966 lbs)

Total rear axle load supported by 4 tires = 10636 kg(23400 lbs)

Divided by 4

Load supported by each tire with 3-point hitch fullyraised = 2659 kg (5850 lbs)

NOTE: An 18.4R46 tire would require 1.6 bar (24PSI) inflation pressure to carry this weight duringextendedhighspeed roaduse.See tire inflation tablein Section 5. If the three-point hitch load was notpresent, or if three-point load is on the ground, theload per tire would be 1973 kg (4350 lbs). The tirepressure should then be reduced to maintain theproper tire side wall deflection for best traction.

REAR TIRE WEIGHTING

NOTE: Install cast iron weight first. Use liquid ballastonly as required.

CAUTIONInstalling liquid ballast requires special equip-ment and training. Have liquid ballast added byyour authorized dealer or a tire store.

IMPORTANT: With radial tires NEVER fill a tire tomore than 40-50 percent. More liquid ballast solutionwill leave too little air space to absorb shocks.Damage to the tire could occur. This occurs due tothe lower inflation pressures that are usedwith radialtires. Bias ply tires can be filled to 75 percent.

A solution of water and calcium chloride providessafe, economical ballast. Used properly, it will notdamage tires, tubes, or rims.

NOTE: Use of alcohol as liquid ballast is notrecommended. Calcium chloride solution is heavierand more economical.

Radial-ply and bias-ply tires should be handleddifferently. The following chart shows how muchballast each size and type of tire will hold.

INSTALLING CAST IRON REAR WHEELWEIGHTS

CAUTIONWheel weights are heavy. Use appropriate liftingequipment or have the job done by yourauthorized dealer.

To install weights, 1, on the inside of a wheel, thewheel must be removed. See “Rear Wheel TrackAdjustment” section for wheel removal information.

Attach the first weight to the wheel disc and tightenthe attaching bolts to 224 N·m (165 ft.-lbs.).

NOTE: Check the torque of all attaching bolts oneach wheel after driving the tractor for 200 m (200yards), after 1 hour, and 10 hours operation andthereafter at the 50-hour service intervals.

Install additional weights by installing bolts throughthepreviousweight.Rotate alternateweights to alignbolts with holes in the weights.

Tighten attaching bolts securely to 224 N·m (165ft.-lbs.). Retighten every two hours of service untilbolt torque stabilizes. Check tightness every 300hours thereafter.

Check to make sure the weights are centered.Excessive runout can cause an unbalancedcondition when operating at high speed.

BALLASTING FRONT END FORTRANSPORT

CAUTIONAdditional front ballast may be needed whentransporting large 3-point hitch mounted equip-ment.Alwaysdrive slowlyover rough terrain, nomatterhow much front ballast is used.

Add front end ballast when it is needed for stabilityand steering control. Never allow the tractor tooperate with the front wheels off the ground.

Tractor front end ballast may not always maintainsatisfactory stability if the tractor is operated at highspeed on rough or hilly terrain. Reduce speed andexercise caution under these conditions.

BALLASTING TWO-WHEEL DRIVETRACTORSThe best tractor weight split is 30% on the front axleand 70%on the rear axle to achieve 10%-15%wheelslip.

Two types of front end cast ironweights are availableto ballast the front of the tractor.

195

BALLASTING FOUR WHEEL DRIVETRACTORSIdeal tire slippage for FWD tractors is 8-12%. Toreduce tire slippage to this level, more weight isneeded on the front than two-wheel drive tractors.The best weight split is 40% front, 60% rear, of totaltractor weight. Ballast may be needed in the fronttires to obtain this weight split.

DETERMINING MAXIMUM FRONTBALLAST

IMPORTANT: Do not overload front tires. Ifmaximum weight shown in the tire chart is belowballasted weight, reduce ballast or install heaviertires.

Use adequate front weight as required for theoperating condition. Two-wheel drive tractors shouldhave only enough ballast to maintain safe steeringcontrol and keep the wheels on the ground. FWDtractors should have adequate ballast to properlyload front wheels - this is especially important whenpulling heavy loads. Remove ballast when it is nolonger needed.

The tire inflation chart in Section 5 shows the loadcarrying capacity for the front tires.

TIRESCheck the air pressure in the tires and recheck every50 hours or weekly.

When checking tire pressures, inspect for damagedtread and side walls.

Inflation pressure affects the amount of weight that atire may carry. Locate the tire size for your tractor inthe Tire Pressure and Load tables in Section 5 of thismanual. Do not exceed the load for the pressureslisted. Do not over or underinflate the tires.

WARNINGInflating or servicing tires can be dangerous.Whenever possible, trained personnel should becalled in to service or install tires. In any event, toavoid the possibility of serious or fatal injury,follow the safety precautions below:• Tractor wheels are very heavy. Handle with

care and ensure, when stored, that theycannot topple and cause injury.

• Never attempt tire repairs on a public road orhighway.

• Ensure the jack is placed on a firm, levelsurface.

• Ensure the jack has adequate capacity to liftyour tractor.

• Use jack stands or other suitable blocking tosupport the tractor while repairing tires.

• Do not put any part of your body under thetractor or start the engine while the tractor ison the jack.

• Never hit a tire or rim with a hammer.• Ensure the rim is clean and free of rust or

damage. Do not weld, braze, otherwise repairor use a damaged rim.

• Donot inflate a tire unless the rim ismountedon the tractor or is secured so that it will notmove if the tire or rim should suddenly fail.

• When fitting a new or repaired tire, use aclip-on valve adaptor with a remote gaugethat allows the operator to stand clear of thetire while inflating it. Use a safety cage, ifavailable.

• Do not inflate a steering tire above themanufacturer’s maximum pressure shownon the tire or beyond the maximum shown inthe “tire pressure and load” table in section5 if the tire is not marked.

• Never inflate a traction tire (front tire on a fourwheel drive tractor or any rear tire) over 2.4bar (35 PSI). if the bead does not seat on therim by the time this pressure is reached,deflate the tire, relubricate the bead with asoap/water solution and reinflate. Do not useoil or grease, inflation beyond 2.4 bar (35 PSI)with unseated beads may break the bead orrim with explosive force sufficient to cause aserious injury.

• After seating the beads, adjust inflationpressure to the recommended operatingpressure.

• Do not reinflate a tire that has been run flat orseriously underinflated until it has beeninspected for damage by a qualified person.

• Torque wheel hardware after driving thetractor for 200m (200 yards), after 1 hour and10 hours operation, and thereafter at the50-hour service intervals.

• Refer to tractor weighting section beforeadding ballast to the tires.

SECTION 3 - LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE

GENERAL INFORMATION

INTRODUCTIONThis section gives full details of the serviceprocedures necessary to maintain your tractor atpeak efficiency. The lubrication and maintenancechart on page 3-8 provides a ready reference tothese requirements. Each operation is numbered foreasy reference.

In addition to the regular maintenance operationslisted, check the following items every 10 hours ordaily during the first 50 hours of operation:

• Wheel nuts for tightness• Front axle hub oil levels - Four Wheel Drive

(FWD) only

IMPORTANT: Park the tractor on level ground and,where applicable, extend all cylinders beforechecking oil levels.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONSRead and observe all safety precautions listed in“Servicing the Tractor” in Safety Precaution -Section 0.

NOTE: Dispose of used filters and fluids properly.

CAUTIONDo not check, lubricate, service or adjust thetractor with the engine running.

PREVENTING SYSTEM CONTAMINATIONTo prevent contamination when changing oils, filters,etc., always clean the area around filler caps, levelplugs, drain plugs, dipsticks and filters prior toremoval. Before connecting remote cylinders,ensure that oil containedwithin them is clean, hasnotdegenerated due to long storage and is of the correctgrade.

To prevent dirt entry during greasing, wipe dirt fromthe grease fittings before greasing. Wipe excessgrease from the fitting after greasing.

FLEXIBLE MAINTENANCE INTERVALSThe intervals listed in the lubrication and mainte-nance chart are guidelines to be used whenoperating in normal working conditions.

Adjust the intervals for environmental and workingconditions. Intervals should be shortened underadverse (wet, muddy, sandy, extremely dusty)working conditions.

LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCECHART - PAGES 3-8 AND 3-9The chart lists the intervals when routine checks,lubrication, service and/or adjustments should beperformed. Use the chart as a quick reference guidewhen servicing the tractor. The operations follow thechart.

FIRST 50-HOUR SERVICEAt the first 50-hour service, ensure that the followingadditional service operations are carried out. Theitems are listed in the “First 50-Hour Service”checklist at the rear of this manual.

• Change engine oil and filter• Change fuel filter / water separator• Clean fuel sedimenter• Change hydraulic oil filter• Change transmission oil filter• Check adjustment of front wheel bearings (two

wheel drive only)• Change FWD differential oil• Change FWD axle hub oil• Check and adjust park brake• Check all air intake connections• Tighten all cooling system hose connections.• Check torque of front end weight clamp bolts

(when installed)• Check torque of safety cab mount bolts• Check torque of exhaust manifold bolts

NOTE: Items listed in the first 50-hour check areimportant. If not performed, early component failureand reduced tractor life may result.

FUELING THE TRACTOR

CAUTIONWhen handling diesel fuel, observe the follow-ing:Do not smoke around diesel fuel. Under nocircumstances should gasoline, alcohol, gaso-hol or dieselhol (a mixture of diesel fuel andalcohol) be added to diesel fuel because ofincreased fire or explosion risks. In a closedcontainer such as a fuel tank they are moreexplosive than pure gasoline. Do not use theseblends. Additionally, dieselhol is not approveddue to possible inadequate lubrication of the fuelinjection system.Use only internally grounded fueling hose fromstorage tank and pump to tractor fuel tank. If indoubt check with your fuel hose supplier. (Anacceptable fuel hose would be one with aninternal wire that can be checked using acontinuity tester.)If the hose is not grounded, a large static electriccharge could occur while refueling and causedamage to the fuel system.Clean the filler cap area and keep it free of debris.Fill the tank at the end of each day to reduceovernight condensation.Never take the cap off or refuel with the enginerunning.When refueling, make sure the nozzle is incontact with the filler neck of the tractor fuel tankbefore fuel starts flowing and during the entiretime fuel is flowing.Keep control of the fuel nozzle while filling thefuel tank.Don’t fill the tank to capacity. Allow room forexpansion. If the original fuel tank cap is lost,replace it with a Buhler Versatile cap and tightensecurely.Wipe up spilled fuel immediately.

FUEL REQUIREMENTSThe quality of fuel used is an important factor fordependable performance and satisfactory enginelife. Fuels must be clean, well-refined, andnoncorrosive to fuel systemparts. Be sure to use fuelof a known quality from a reputable supplier.

Use Number 2-D in temperatures above -7° C (20°F). Use Number 1-D in temperatures below -7° C(20° F).

To obtain optimum combustion andminimum enginewear, the fuel selected for use should conform to theapplication andproperty requirements outlined in thefollowing “Diesel Fuel Selection Chart.”

NOTE: When long periods of idling or cold weatherconditions below 0° C (32° F) are encountered orwhen continuously operating at an altitude above1524 m (5,000′), use Number 1-D fuel.

*When continually operating at low temperatures orhigh altitude, a minimum cetane of 45 is required.

Using diesel fuel with sulphur content above 0.50%requires more frequent oil changes as noted in themaintenance schedule.

The use of diesel fuel with a sulphur content above1.3% is not recommended.

Do not use Number 2-D fuel at temperatures below-7° C (20° F). The cold temperatures will causeNumber 2-D fuel to thicken, which may keep theengine from running. (If this happens, contact yourdealer.)

For the best fuel economy, use Number 2-Dwhenever temperature will permit.

To be sure that a fuel meets the required properties,enlist the aid of a reputable fuel oil supplier. Theresponsibility for clean fuel lies with the fuel supplieras well as the fuel user.

• Store fuel in black iron tanks, not galvanizedtanks, as the zinc coating will react with the fueland form compounds that will contaminate theinjection pump and injectors.

• Install bulk storage tanks away from directsunlight and angle them slightly so sediment inthe tanks will settle away from the outlet pipe.

• To facilitate moisture and sediment removal,provide a drain plug at the lowest point at the endopposite the outlet pipe.

• If fuel is not filtered from the storage tank, put afunnel with a fine mesh screen in the fuel tankfiller neck when refueling.

• Arrange fuel purchases so summer grade fuelsare not held over and used in winter.

ADDING DIESEL FUEL

1. Clean the area around the fuel cap, 1, to preventdebris from entering the fuel tank, 2.

2. Remove the cap and place in a clean area duringrefueling.

3. After filling the tank, replace and tighten the fuelcap.

NOTE: Fuel tank capacity is 416 liters (110 USgallons).

IMPORTANT:Replace a lost or damaged cap with agenuine Buhler Versatile replacement cap.

CHECK ENGINE COOLANT LEVELCheck the coolant level in the recovery tank, 1, whenthe engine is cold. The coolant level should be to thebottom line, 2, on the recovery tank. If coolant isrequired, remove the filler cap, 3, and add a 50/50water and antifreeze mix as specified in the“Specification” section.

IMPORTANT: Install a new filter/conditioner in theevent of a large loss of coolant such as a failedcoolant hose. See “Operation 56.”

NOTE: If no coolant is visible in the recovery tank, thecoolant level must be checked in the radiator.

WARNINGThe cooling system operates under pressurewhich is controlled by the radiator pressure cap.It is dangerous to remove the cap while thesystem is hot. When the system has cooled, usea thick cloth and turn the radiator cap slowly tothe first stop and allow the pressure to escapebefore fully removing the cap. Coolant should bekept off the skin. Adhere to the precautionsoutlined on the coolant filter.

Remove the radiator pressure cap when the systemis cold. Add coolant as required to bring the level tothe bottom of the filler neck. Install the radiatorpressure cap and add coolant to the recovery tank.

NOTE: If the coolant level is low, check the systemfor leaks and repair as required.

CHANGE ENGINE COOLANT FILTER/CONDITIONERA replaceable coolant filter/conditioner is installed onthe tractor. The filter/conditioner canister contains afilter element and a conditioner in the formof a paste.As coolant flows through the filter, the pastedissolves and mixes with the coolant to provideoptimum engine corrosion protection.

The conditioner in the filter will:

• Increase rust prevention.• Reduce scale formation.• Minimize cylinder wall erosion (pitting).• Reduce foaming of the coolant.

As the conditioner works and protects the system, itgradually loses its strength andmust be replenished.Replacing the filter at the specified interval ensuresmaximum protection.

IMPORTANT: The new filter contains a measuredamount of chemical inhibitor in paste form. Theamount of conditioner and the size of the filterelement are matched to the cooling capacity of thetractor. It is important that this filter is changed every1200 hours if total protection of the engine coolingsystem is to be maintained. The use of anon-approved filter may jeopardize this protection.

IMPORTANT: Install a new filter/conditioner in theevent of a large coolant loss such as a failed coolanthose.

IMPORTANT: Do not replace the filter/conditionermore frequently than specified unless a large coolantloss occurs.

IMPORTANT: Anti-leak additives should not beused. The clogging properties of these additivescould affect the performance of the filter andconditioner.

IMPORTANT: If it becomes necessary to replace thefilter before the 1,200 hour change interval, or if lessthan one-half of the coolant is lost, a filter without aconditioner should be installed.

IMPORTANT: If replacing with fully formulatedcoolant, a coolant filter without the additive should beused.

CHECK POWERSHIFT TRANSMISSIONCLUTCH CALIBRATION

NOTE: The Powershift transmission has threedirectional clutches. Calibrate the clutches periodi-cally to compensate for wear. This service should beperformed after the first 50 hours of operation andevery 1200 hours, or more frequently at 300 hours ifa deterioration in shift quality is noted (seeOperation40). It is recommended that this operation beperformed by an authorized dealer.

WARNINGBefore carrying out the calibration procedure,firmly apply the park brake and block thewheels,front and rear.

IMPORTANT: During the calibration procedure, theelectronicmanagement systemdetects precisely thepoint at which the clutches start to engage. Thisengagement is detected by a very small reduction inengine speed. During calibration, it is essential thatno action is taken to cause the engine speed to vary.Be sure that the air conditioner and all electricalequipment is switched off. Do not operate the PTOorany hydraulic lever or move the hand or foot throttle.

Preparing the Tractor for CalibrationNOTE: The clutches should be adjusted when the oilis at normal operating temperatures.

Prior to calibrating the directional clutches, carry outthe following:

1. Park the tractor on level ground away from anyobstacles in case of unexpected tractormovement. Stop the engine and place remotehydraulic controls in the neutral position.

2. Engage the park brake and block the wheels,front and rear.

NOTE: The LCD will flash “P” if the parking brake isnot applied.

3. Turn off the air conditioning.

4. Move the shift lever to the ”NEUTRALDOWNSHIFT” position (to the left) and hold inposition.While holding it there, turn the key--startswitch to the start position.

5. Start the engine. The full LCD will be displayed.

6. Release the shift lever three to five seconds afterthe engine starts.NOTE: If lever is held longer than three to fiveseconds, a ”d” will momentarily appear on thedisplay accompanied by an audible alarm. Thedisplay then exits the calibration mode. If thisoccurs, repeat steps 1 through 6.

7. Verify the digital display is showing a steady ”CC”indicating the electronic management system isin the clutch calibration mode.

NOTE: Repeat steps 1 through 7 if ”CC” is notpresent.

8. Adjust engine speed to 1200 +/-- 30 RPM usingthe hand throttle (do not use cruise control).

9. Push the shift lever forward and ”CC” shouldbegin flashing.

10. Proceed to calibrate the clutches if ”CC” isflashing.

PROGRAMMING FAULTSFlashing “F”: Indicates that the CCM has detectedpossible transmission output shaft rotation. This cancause drive wheel movement. THE CALIBRATIONPROCESSWILL AUTOMATICALLY BE STOPPED.To clear it, ensure the wheels are blocked and thatservice brakes are applied. If the tractor is parked ona slope, move the tractor to level ground.

Flashing “P”: Indicates that the park brake leverwas not applied before the calibration process wasstarted. To clear it, apply the park brake and restartthe calibration process.

“EH” Error High: During calibration process, theinitial application of the clutch occurred too quicklyand that the engine speed dropped the 14 RPMbefore the constant had a chance to ramp upnormally. Ensure that all tractor accessories (airconditioning) are turned off. If this continues, contactyour Buhler Versatile dealer.

“EL” Error Low: During the directional clutchcalibration, the CCM increased the constant numberto the maximum limit and the clutch did not load theengine down by 14 RPM. The calibration process onthis clutch will automatically stop at that point. Theconstant usually counts up to 99 and the “EL” showsup. If this continues, contact your Buhler Versatiledealer.

WARNINGThe coolant system operates under pressurewhich is controlled by the radiator pressure cap.It is dangerous to remove the pressure capwhilethe system is hot. When the system has cooled,use a thick cloth and turn the cap slowly to thefirst stopandallow thepressure toescapebeforefully removing the cap. Coolant should be keptoff the skin. Adhere to the precautions outlinedon the antifreeze and inhibitor containers, whereused.

CAUTIONDrain the coolant when the engine is cool.

Park the tractor on level ground and engage the parkbrake and block the wheels front and rear.

To change coolant and the filter/conditioner:

1. Turn the heater control knob to the maximumposition.

2. Check that the heater shutoff valves, 1, are open.

PREPARATION FOR TRACTOR STORAGEBefore storing the tractor at the end of the season orfor an extended period, the following precautionsshould be taken:

1. Clean the tractor.

2. Drain the engine and transmission/rear axle andrefill with clean oil.

3. Drain the fuel tanks and pour approximately twogallons of special calibrating fuel into the tank.Run the engine for at least 10 minutes to ensurecomplete distribution of the calibrating fuelthroughout the injection system. See the nextitem before running the engine.

4. Check the radiator coolant level. If the coolant iswithin 200 hours of the next change, drain, flushand refill the system.Run the engine for one hourto disperse the coolant throughout the system.

5. Using the tractor hydraulic system in PositionControl, raise the lift linkage and support the liftarms in the raised position.

6. Lubricate all grease fittings and lightly coat allexposed hydraulic piston rods with petroleumjelly, e.g., power steering cylinder rams, lift rams,spool valves, etc.

7. Remove the batteries and store in a warm, dryplace. Recharge periodically to a minimum of12.6 volts. Do not allow voltage to fall below 12.4volts.

NOTE:Donot store the tractor formore than 30 dayswith the batteries connected. The normal key-offcurrent drain of the electrical system modules willcompletely discharge the batteries. This can causepermanent battery damage. If the batteries are leftconnected during storage, charge the batteries dailyusing a low-rate charger connected to a timer. Forshort term tractor sotrage, removal of the5aMPKAM(Keep Alive Memory) fuse will minimize key offcuurent draw. This will result in loss of radioaccessory memory requiring the clock and channeltuner buttons to be reprogrammed. For short termtractor storage, removal of the 5 AMP KAM (KeepAlive Memory) fuse will minimize key off currentdraw. This will result in loss of radio/accessorymemory requiring the radio clock and channel tunerfeatures to be reprogrammed.

8. Raise the tractor and place supports under theaxles to take the weight off the tires.

9. Cover the exhaust pipe opening.

OPERATION 74

PREPARING THE TRACTOR FOR USEAFTER STORAGEBefore placing the tractor in service after anextended storage period, perform the following:

1. Inflate the tires to the correct pressure and lowerthe tractor to the ground.

2. Refill the fuel tanks.

3. Check the radiator coolant level.

4. Check all oil levels.

5. Install fully charged batteries.

6. Remove the exhaust pipe covering.

7. Prime the engine oil system as detailed in steps9 through 12 of “Operation 31.”

IMPORTANT: Priming the engine oil systemprovides lubrication to the turbocharger and enginebefore starting which will extend engine life.

8. Start the engine and check that all instrumentsand controls function correctly. Using the tractorhydraulic system in Position Control, fully raisethe lift linkage and remove the supports.

9. Drive the tractor without a load to ensure that itis operating satisfactorily.

NOTE: Whenoperating remote cylinders, the rear axle oil levelwill be affected.When toppingup the rearaxle to accommodate the oil requirement of remote cylinders, no more than 38 liters (10 US gallons)should be added to bring the oil level up to the full mark on the dipstickwhen all rams are fully extended.

Remote cylinderswith a total oil capacity of up to 23 liters (6 USgallons)may be connected to the tractorhydraulic system without adding oil, provided the tractor is being operated on level ground.

*NOTE: Normal oil change capacities may be 19-23 liters (5-6 gallons) less than these factory fillcapacities. This difference is that oil remains in hydraulic tubes, passages and wet areas within thetransmission and rear axle center sections.

ENGINE LUBRICANTIt is recommended that an oil whichmeets API service category CF-4 (preferred), CF-4/SF or CF-4/SG be used.If API CF-4 oils are not available, the API CE or CE/SF or CE/SG category may be used. For low temperatures-18° C (below 0° F), an SAE 5W-30 SG/CD may be used.

NOTE : Engines are filledwith 10W-30 oil at the factory. The oil should be changed after the first 50 hoursof operation.

Selecting the Right Viscosity for Your Climate

To choose the right viscosity grade, you must consider the temperature in which you will operate your vehicle.If you regularly operate in temperatures that are consistently above -12° C (10° F), use SAE 15W-40 oil. If youregularly operate in temperatures that are below -18° C (0° F), use SAE 5W30 and change oil and filter every150 hours. Select the proper viscosity grade to correspond with the ambient temperature range shown in thefollowing chart.

IMPORTANT: Using oil quality and/or viscosity grades other than those recommended may result in enginedamage.

OIL CHANGE INTERVAL

NOTE: Engines are filled with 10W-30 oil at the factory. The oil should be changed after the first 50 hoursof operation.

The engine oil change interval is 300 hours under average operating conditions; however, locally available fuelmay have a high sulphur content, in which case adjust the oil change period as follows:

Sulphur Content Oil Change Period

Below 0.5% Normal0.5 - 1.0% Half the normal1.0 - 1.3% One quarter normal

The use of fuel with a sulphur content above 1.3% is not recommended.

Engines operating in temperatures below -12°C (10° F) should have the oil and filter changed every 150 hoursof operation.

* When continually operating at low temperatures or high altitude, a minimum cetane of 45 is required. Usingdiesel fuel with a sulphur content above 0.5% requires more frequent oil changes, as detailed in the “Engine Oil”section.

The use of fuel with a sulphur content above 1.3% is not recommended.

NOTE:When longperiodsof idlingor coldweather conditionsbelow0°C (32°F) are encounteredorwhencontinuously operating at an altitude above 1524 m (5,000 ft.) use number 1-D fuel.

ENGINE COOLANT

Use an engine coolant that contains Propylene Glycol or Ethylene Glycol. Mix with an equal amount of cleanwater.

Change coolant every 2400 hours or 24 months (whichever occurs first).

Change coolant filter every 1200 hours or 12 months (whichever occurs first).

NOTE: In order to reduce deposits and corrosion, water used in the cooling system should not exceedthe following limits:

Total hardness 300 parts per million

Chlorides 100 parts per million

Sulphates 100 parts per million

ROAD SPEEDS

The following charts show the road speeds for tractors fittedwith 18.4 - 42 rear tires. If the rear tires of your tractorare of a different size, multiply the road speeds shown in the printed charts by the following conversion factors.

NOTE: For your convenience, a blank chart follows the printed charts so you may insert your owncalculated road speeds.

Tire Size 14.9 - 46 18.4 - 46 20.8 - 38 20.8 - 42 710/70R38

Conversion Factor 0.998 1.056 0.984 1.041 1.032

EXAMPLE:

From the following table with 18.4 - 42 tires - locate the speed for gear ratio F16 at 2100ERPM - A forward speedof 29.9 KPH (18.55 MPH) listed.

To calculate the speed with 14.9 x 46 rear tire for the same gear ratio and engine speed use the followingformulas:

29.9 KPH (18.51 MPH) x 0.998 (conversion factor) = 29.9 KPH (18.51 MPH)

NOTE: To determine creeper speedsmultiply the ground speed for each gear listed in the ground speedchart or calculated ground speed by 0.10.

Example: 0.10 x 1.98 KPH (1.23 MPH) = 0.198 kph (0.123 MPH)

FOUR WHEEL DRIVE TIRE COMBINATIONS

The tires fitted to tractors with optional four wheel drive have been carefully selected to match the gearing of thetransmission and axles. When replacing worn or damaged tires, always install tires of the same make, modeland size as those removed. The installation of other tire combinations may result in excessive tire wear, loss ofuseable power or severe damage to driveline components. If in doubt, consult your authorized dealer.

Radial Tire Identification

Radial tires are identified according to rating by a star code - -either one star ( ), two stars ( ) or three stars ( ).

Tires with are inflated to a maximum of 1.2 bar or 18 PSI.

Tires with are inflated to a maximum of 1.6 bar or 24 PSI.

Tires with are inflated to a maximum of 2.0 bar or 30 PSI.

Refer to the identification panel on the side of the tire sidewall.

TIRE PRESSURES AND PERMISSIBLE LOADS

IMPORTANT: The figures in the following charts are for guidance only. Tire specifications vary by tiremanufacturer. For exact tire loading information, refer to the information provided by themanufacturer of the tireson the tractor.

To avoid the possibility of tire to rim creep, tire pressures below 0.40 bar (6 PSI) with radial tires and 0.80 bar(12 PSI) with bias ply should not be used for operations having a high torque requirement, e.g., subsoiling,plowing, heavy cultivation, etc.

Tire loading figures in the following tables are for a singlewheel. To determine themaximum tire loading for singlewheel applications, multiply the load figure in the table by two, the total number of wheels on the axle.

Example:

Rear2 wheels (singles) x table figure = Maximum tire load

Todetermine themaximum tire loading for unitswith duals,multiply the load figure in the table by the total numberof wheels on the axle, then multiply by 88%.

Example:

Rear4 wheels (models with duals) x table figure x 88%= Maximum tire load

Axle loading must be within the capacities listed in Section 3 of this manual.

Remember the information in the charts and the examples cited are for guidance only. For exact informationregarding inflation pressures and tractor loading, consult your authorized dealer or the tire manufacturer.

When front mounted implements are fitted, front tire loads may be increased by up to 35% with no increase ininflation pressure when operated at speeds not exceeding 20 KPH (12 MPH).

At speednot exceeding 8KPH (5MPH), the loadon the front tiresmaybe increasedby 50%provided the inflationpressures are increased by 25%.

Whenmounted implements are used, rear tire loadsmay be increased by up to 20%with no increase in inflationpressure when operated at speeds not exceeding 20 KPH (12 MPH).
