AG,OUO6035,84 –19–18MAY00–1/1

Operate Tractor Safely

M47224A –19–02JUN97

TS276 –UN–23AUG88

Features designed into your tractor make operation safer

and let it perform a wide variety of jobs. Use your tractor

only for specified jobs it was designed to perform:

implement carrier, load mover, remote power source, or

transport unit—not a recreational vehicle.

Careless use or misuse can result in unnecessary

accidents. Be alert to hazards of tractor operation.

Understand causes of accidents and take every

precaution to avoid them. Most common accidents are

caused from:

•Tractor upsets

•Improper starting procedures

•Crushing and pinching during hitching

•Collisions with other motor vehicles

•Getting entangled in PTO shafts

•Falls from tractors

Avoid accidents by taking the following precautions:

•Put the gear lever in Park position. Leaving

transmission in gear with engine stopped will NOT

prevent the tractor from moving.

•Be sure everyone is clear of tractor and attached

equipment before starting engine.

•Never try to get on or off a moving tractor.

•When tractor is left unattended, put the gear lever in

Park position , stop the engine , remove the key, lower

implements to the ground.

Safety

AG,OUO6035,65 –19–17MAY00–1/1

Use Caution on Hillsides

TS205 –UN–23AUG88

Avoid holes, ditches, and obstructions which cause the

tractor to tip, especially on hillsides. Avoid sharp, uphill

turns.

Never drive near the edge of a gully or steep

embankment -- it might cave in.

Driving forward out of a ditch or mired condition or up a

steep slope could cause tractor to tip over rearward. Back

out of these situations if possible.

Danger of overturn increases greatly with narrow tread

setting, at high speed.

Hitch towed loads only to drawbar. When using a chain,

take up the slack slowly.

AG,OUO6035,83 –19–17MAY00–1/1

Shift to Low Gear on Hills

LV4042 –UN–09JUL99

Shift to a low gear before descending a steep hill to

improve your control of the tractor with little or no braking.

Use engine braking to reduce speed before applying

tractor brakes. Run-away tractors often tip over. Never

coast downhill.

When driving on icy, wet or oily surfaces, reduce speed

and be sure tractor is properly ballasted (specially front

tyres)to avoid skidding and loss of steering control.

Additional ballast may be needed for transporting heavy

hitch mounted implements. When implement is raised,

drive slowly over rough ground, regardless of how much

ballast is used.

Safety

MX,AVOIDTIP1A1 –19–22JUL94–1/1

Avoid Tipping

TS205 –UN–23AUG88

Do not drive where machine could slip or tip.

Stay alert for holes, rocks, and roots in the terrain, and

other hidden hazards. Keep away from drop-offs.

Slow down before you make a sharp turn.

Take care when pulling loads or using heavy equipment:

•Use only approved drawbar hitch points.

•Limit loads to those you can safely control.

•Use counterweights or wheel weights when suggested

in this operator’s manual.

Reduce speed and exercise extreme caution on slopes

and in sharp turns to prevent tipping or loss of control. Be

especially cautious when changing direction on slopes.

Do not stop or start suddenly when going uphill or

downhill.

If machine stops going up hill:

•STOP the PTO.

•Back down slowly.

DX,MIRED –19–07JUL99–1/1

Freeing a Mired Machine

TS1645 –UN–15SEP95TS263 –UN–23AUG88

Attempting to free a mired machine can involve safety

hazards such as the mired tractor tipping rearward, the

towing tractor overturning, and the tow chain or tow bar (a

cable is not recommended) failing and recoiling from its

stretched condition.

Back your tractor out if it gets mired down in mud. Unhitch

any towed implements. Dig mud from behind the rear

wheels. Place boards behind the wheels to provide a solid

base and try to back out slowly. If necessary, dig mud

from the front of all wheels and drive slowly ahead.

If necessary to tow with another unit, use a tow bar or a

long chain (a cable is not recommended). Inspect the

chain for flaws. Make sure all parts of towing devices are

of adequate size and strong enough to handle the load.

Always hitch to the drawbar of the towing unit. Do not

hitch to the front pushbar attachment point. Before

moving, clear the area of people. Apply power smoothly to

take up the slack: a sudden pull could snap any towing

device causing it to whip or recoil dangerously.

MX,SAIP,AAA1 –19–21AUG99–1/1

Park Tractor Safely

M35691 –UN–26APR89

To park tractor safely:

•Disengage PTO.

Safety

MX,SAIP,LA1 –19–29JUL94–1/1

Safely Transporting the Tractor

LV610 –UN–22APR94

A disabled tractor is best transported on a flatbed carrier.

Use chains to secure the tractor to the carrier.

Never tow a tractor at a speed greater than 16 km/h (10

mph). An operator must steer and brake the tractor under

tow.

DX,TOW –19–02OCT95–1/1

Tow Loads Safely

TS216 –UN–23AUG88

Stopping distance increases with speed and weight of

towed loads, and on slopes. Towed loads with or without

brakes that are too heavy for the tractor or are towed too

fast can cause loss of control. Consider the total weight of

the equipment and its load.

Observe these recommended maximum road speeds, or

local speed limits which may be lower:

•If towed equipment does not have brakes, do not travel

more than 32 km/h (20 mph) and do not tow loads more

than 1.5 times the tractor weight.

•If towed equipment has brakes, do not travel more than

40 km/h (25 mph) and do not tow loads more than 4.5

times the tractor weight.

Ensure the load does not exceed the recommended

weight ratio. Add ballast to recommended maximum for

tractor, lighten the load, or get a heavier towing unit. The

tractor must be heavy and powerful enough with adequate

braking power for the towed load. Use additional caution

when towing loads under adverse surface conditions,

when turning, and on inclines.

Prevent Acid Burns

TS203 –UN–23AUG88

Sulfuric acid in battery electrolyte is poisonous. It is strong

enough to burn skin, eat holes in clothing, and cause

blindness if splashed into eyes.

Avoid the hazard by:

1. Filling batteries in a well-ventilated area.

2. Wearing eye protection and rubber gloves.

3. Avoiding breathing fumes when electrolyte is added.

4. Avoiding spilling or dripping electrolyte.

5. Use proper jump start procedure.

If you spill acid on yourself:

1. Flush your skin with water.

2. Apply baking soda or lime to help neutralize the acid.

3. Flush your eyes with water for 15—30 minutes. Get

medical attention immediately.

If acid is swallowed:

1. Do not induce vomiting.

2. Drink large amounts of water or milk, but do not

exceed2L(2quarts).

3. Get medical attention immediately.

Service Tires Safely

TS211 –UN–23AUG88

Explosive separation of a tire and rim parts can cause

serious injury or death.

Do not attempt to mount a tire unless you have the proper

equipment and experience to perform the job.

Always maintain the correct tire pressure. Do not inflate

the tires above the recommended pressure. Never weld or

heat a wheel and tire assembly. The heat can cause an

increase in air pressure resulting in a tire explosion.

Welding can structurally weaken or deform the wheel.

When inflating tires, use a clip-on chuck and extension

hose long enough to allow you to stand to one side and

NOT in front of or over the tire assembly. Use a safety

cage if available.

Check wheels for low pressure, cuts, bubbles, damaged

rims or missing lug bolts and nuts.

Dispose of Waste Properly

TS1133 –UN–26NOV90

Improperly disposing of waste can threaten the

environment and ecology. Potentially harmful waste used

with John Deere equipment include such items as oil, fuel,

coolant, brake fluid, filters, and batteries.

Use leakproof containers when draining fluids. Do not use

food or beverage containers that may mislead someone

into drinking from them.

Do not pour waste onto the ground, down a drain, or into

any water source.

Inquire on the proper way to recycle or dispose of waste

from your local environmental or recycling center, or from

your John Deere dealer.

Selecting a Gear

PY5775 –UN–02JUN06

IMPORTANT: To extend drive train life and avoid

excessive soil compaction and rolling

resistance when using ballast, operate

one gear lower than normal.

The tractor may be operated in any gear with engine

speeds between 1400 RPM and 2400 rated engine RPM.

Within these limits the engine can be put under full load.

For light load operation, use a higher gear and lower

engine speed. This saves fuel and reduces wear.

A—Rockshaft Position Control Lever

B—Rockshaft Draft Control Lever

C—Draft Sensing Off Position

D—Position Control Lever Stop

The rockshaft is equipped with variable draft control

system.

Use draft load sensing when:

•Operating with a fully mounted implement in hill and

swale terrain. The implement will raise and lower to

follow the ground contours while maintaining a nearly

constant depth.

•Operating in varying soil conditions. The implement is

raised slightly to get through tough spots so you do not

have to shift to a lower gear.

Draft control lever (B) controls amount of load required

before hitch responds. With lever placed fully forward to

the position marked “off” (C), there is no draft sensing.

Placing the lever toward the rear position reduces the

amount of draft load required to override the position

setting set by the position control lever (A) and raise the

rockshaft.

Draft sensitivity ranges can be changed by repositioning

the center link. (See Positioning Center Link in this section

for additional information.)

For draft load sensing operation:

•Initially place position control lever (A) in its fully

rearward position and the draft control lever (B) in the

fully forward (least draft) position.

•With tractor moving, push position control lever (A)

forward to set implement operating depth. Set position

control lever stop (D) so control lever can be brought

back to the same position. The operating depth set-up

will prevent the rockshaft from lowering all the way

when the tractor begins to slip. Then pull draft sensing

lever (B) rearward until desired draft sensing sensitivity

is obtained.

•The position control lever (A) can also be raised slightly

to override the draft control setting to help get through

slippery spots without getting stuck.

•The position control lever (A) can be moved fully

rearward to raise the hitch at the end of the field.

The draft sensing rockshaft center link attaching bracket

has holes which allow three different positions for

attaching the center link. The position effects the draft

sensing sensitivity.

Standard position is (C).

Move the center link attachment to holes (B) if:

•Excessive hitch activity or hunting occurs in draft control

operation.

•The rear of the implement raises too much when lifted.

The implement weight which can be lifted is reduced

slightly with the center link attachment in the lower

holes.

•The draft control lever range is too small.

Move the center link attachment to holes (C) if:

•The hitch seems unresponsive in draft control operation

and allows the engine speed to drop too far before

raising the rockshaft.

•The rear of the implement droops and drags the ground

as the implement is lifted.

Upper hole (A) eliminates nearly all draft sensing.

NOTE: Implement with Category II mast height 610 mm

(24 in.) will use the upper two holes.

Planning for Maximum Productivity

Proper ballasting is an important factor in tractor

performance. maximum productivity can be achieved

only if tractor weight is appropriate for the job.

John Deere FMO (Fundamentals of Machine

Operations) Tractors, discusses methods of

determining correct tractor weight and ballast selection.

FMO-Machinery Management includes information on

tractor and implement matching and increasing

productivity. .

Your John Deere dealer can assist you with

information on these subjects.

PY80265,05I0164 –19–12SEP05–1/1

Selecting Ballast Carefully

Match amount of ballast needed for each job. What is

right for one job may be wrong for another job. Ballast

for traction and stability.

Factors determining amount of ballast:

•Soil surface-loose or firm.

•Type of implement-integral/semi-integral or towed.

•Travel speed-slow or fast.

•Tractor power output-partial or full load.

•Tyres-single, oversize, or dual.

PY80265,05I0165 –19–12SEP05–1/1

Matching Ballast to Load Work

Use no more ballast than necessary, and remove

ballast when it is no longer needed.

Rather than weighing tractor down to pull heavy loads,

try to reduce load. Pulling a lighter load at a higher

speed is more economical and more efficient.

The best way to check for correct ballast is to measure

amount of travel reduction (% slip) of the drive wheels.

Under normal field conditions, travel reduction should

be 10—15 percent.

Add more weight to drive wheels if slip is excessive. If

there is less than 10 percent slip, weight should be

removed.

Too Little Ballast Too Much Ballast

1. Excessive wheel slip 1. Increased load

2. Power loss due to 2. Power loss due to

churning soil carrying extra weight

3. tyre wear 3. tyre strain

4. Fuel waste 4. Soil compaction

5. Lower productivity 5. Fuel waste

Measuring Wheel Slip—Manually

PY5516 –UN–17FEB06

1. Place a mark (A) on a rear tyre which is easily

observed (a chalk mark is recommended).

2. With tractor working and implement lowered, mark a

starting point (B) on the ground at the place where the

tyre mark (A) meets the ground.

3. Mark the ground again where the tyre mark (A)

completes 10 full revolutions (C).

4. With implement raised return in the opposite direction.

At the second mark on the ground (C) remark the tyre

(D).

5. While driving the tractor along the same path

(implement raised), count the tyre revolutions required

to reach the starting point (B).

6. Use the return tyre revolutions count and “Wheel

Slippage Chart” to determine slippage. 10—15 percent

is ideal.

7. Adjust ballast or load to give correct slippage.

NOTE: Available horsepower is greatly reduced when

wheel slip drops below 10 percent.

Ballast Limitations

Ballast should be limited by either tyre capacity or

tractor capacity. Each tyre has a recommended

carrying capacity which should not be exceeded (see

Wheels, Tyres and Treads section). If a greater

amount of weight is needed for traction, a larger tyre

should be considered.

Ballast can be added as either liquid or cast iron.

Ballasting Tractor

Add weight to front end if needed for stability. Heavy

pulling and heavy rear-mounted implements tend to lift

front wheels. Add enough ballast to maintain steering

control and prevent tip-over.

Refer to the implement operator’s manual, along with

“Using Implement Codes” in this section, to determine

the minimum number of front weights that are required

for your tractor model.

little air space to absorb shocks.

Damage to tyre could occur.

A solution of water and calcium chloride provides safe,

economical ballast. Used properly, it will not damage

Tyres, tubes, or rims.

Use calcium chloride to prevent water from freezing. A

mixture of 0.6 kg per liter (5.0 lb of calcium chloride

per gal) will not freeze solid above —45°C (—53°F).

Service Tyres Safely

TS211 –UN–23AUG88

Explosive separation of at tyre and rim parts can cause

serious injury or death.

Do not attempt to mount a tyre unless you have the

proper equipment and experience to perform the job.

Always maintain the correct tyre pressure. Do not inflate

the tyres above the recommended pressure. Never weld

or heat a wheel and tyre assembly. The heat can cause

an increase in air pressure resulting in a tyre explosion.

Welding can structurally weaken or deform the wheel.

When inflating tyres, use a clip-on chuck and extension

hose long enough to allow you to stand to one side and

NOT in front of or over the tyre assembly. Use a safety

cage if available.

Check wheels for low pressure, cuts, bubbles, damaged

rims or missing lug bolts and nuts.

IMPORTANT: Check for adequate clearance (A)

between outside diameter of the tyre

Hitch, a quick coupler or similar device

may be required to provide adequate

implement-to-tyre clearance.

PY80265,05I0177 –19–12SEP05–1/1

Check Tyre Inflation Pressure

Check tyres daily for damage or noticeably low

pressure.

At least every 100 hours of operation, check inflation

pressure with a gauge. Use an accurate gauge having

10 kPa (0.1 bar) (1 psi) graduations.

If tyres contain liquid ballast, use a special air-water

gauge and measure with valve stem at bottom.

NOTE: When furrow plowing or during hillside

operation, tyre pressure can be increased 28

kPa (0.28 bar) (4 psi) ABOVE maximum to

prevent tyre wrinkling or buckling.

IMPORTANT: Always check inflation pressure with

an accurate tyre gauge to prevent

over-inflation. Over-inflation reduces

performance and increases strain of

both tyre and rim.

NOTE: Following inflation information applies to both

front and rear tyres and Tyre Inflation Pressure

Chart.

1. All inflation pressures are calculated for 29 km/h

(18 mph) travel speeds for both diagonal (bias) ply

and radial ply tyres.

2. Operation of tyres at the inflation pressures listed

on chart will result in optimum tractive performance

of the tyre/vehicle system. Correctly inflated radial

tyres will show a large deflection of the sidewall or

“cheeks”. This is normal and will not hurt the tyre if

the inflation pressure is maintained.

3. Inflation pressures less than 80 kPa (12 psi) should

be monitored regularly because of the increased

risk of low pressure air leaks (especially due to

leaking valve cores).

4. Tractors operating on steep side slopes should

increase inflation pressures 28 kPa (4 psi) above

the values listed to compensate for lateral weight

transfer.

5. Tyres run as singles in high traction conditions

sometimes experience bead slip if the bead was not

fully seated or if too much lubricant was used to

mount the tyre. Increasing the inflation pressure will

compensate for this condition but will not cause

reduced traction. Consult your tyre dealer if this

problem occurs.

6. If higher load capacities are needed, contact your

John Deere dealer for tyre manufacturers load and

inflation table information.

Wheel tread on rear axle with multi-position wheels

can be adjusted by repositioning or exchanging the

rims or by reversing the wheel disks.

Wheel tread can also be adjusted by exchanging the

complete wheel to the opposite side of the tractor (This

maneuver permits the change from disk-dished-in to

disk-dished-out operations without disassembling the

wheel). When changing rear wheels from one side to

the other, the arrow on side wall of tyre points in the

direction of forward rotation.

The relationship of the wheel disk and rim in obtaining

the different tread settings is shown in the diagrams on

the facing page.

A study of these diagrams, before attempting to

change tread settings, will save unnecessary labor.

CAUTION: Stopping distance increases with

speed and weight of towed loads, and on

slopes. Towed loads with or without brakes that

are too heavy for the tractor or are towed too

fast can cause loss of control. Consider the

total weight of the equipment and its load.

Observe these recommended maximum road

speeds, or local speed limits which may be

lower:

If towed equipment does not have brakes, do

not travel more than 32 km/h (20 mph) and do

not tow loads more than 1.5 times the tractor

weight.

If towed equipment has brakes, do not travel

more than 40 km/h (25 mph) and do not tow

loads more than 4.5 times the tractor weight.

Ensure the load does not exceed the

recommended weight ratio. Add ballast to

recommended maximum for tractor, lighten the

load, or get a heavier towing unit. The tractor

must be heavy and powerful enough with

adequate braking power for the towed load. Use

additional caution when towing loads under

adverse surface conditions, when turning, and

on inclines.

8. Use caution when operating tractor at transport

speeds. Reduce speed if towed load weighs more than

tractor and is not equipped with brakes. (See Towed

Equipment operator’s manual for recommended

transport speeds.)

9. Use additional caution when transporting towed loads

under adverse surface conditions, when turning and on

inclines.
