WARNING
Crushing hazard!
The lifting systems must be operated by qualified personnel who are aware of the correct procedures
to follow. Make sure all lifting equipment is in good condition, and all hooks are equipped with safety
latches.
Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury.
W0256A
The functions of the front lift are controlled by the same ECU as the rear lift.
For reasons of safety, the front lift controls are disabled when the tractor is started.
The disabled status is signalled by the indicator light
on the instrument cluster coming on.
Enabling controls
To enable the controls, proceed as follows:
• With the engine running, check that the alternator
charging light is OFF;
• Set the switch (1) first to the raising position (B) and
then to the lowering position (A);
• Turn the work position potentiometer (2) clockwise,
then anticlockwise until the indicator
goes out.
NOTE: Should a fault occur on the lift after malfunction-
ing of the sensors/actuators, the control unit will send a

SWINGING DRAWBARS
Safety rules
WARNING
Collision hazard!
During road transport, the drawbar must be locked in the center position, and the implement must be
centered behind the tractor.
Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury.
W0324A
WARNING
Loss of control hazard!
Always attach or pull towed vehicles from the tractor drawbar.
Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury.
W1013A
WARNING
Rear upset hazard!
Use the correct location on the tractor when attaching equipment. Always use the drawbar for trailed
equipment. Always use the three point hitch for mounted or semi-mounted equipment. Do not use
the hitch as a drawbar.
Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury.
W0331A
CAUTION
Avoid injury!
Follow ALL of the precautions listed below.
Failure to comply could result in minor or moderate injury.
C0125A
The towing equipment should be selected on the basis of the type of trailer or implement to be towed and should
comply with current legislation.
• The ease of handling and driving safety of the tractor depend on correct towing adjustment.
• If the towing device is fitted high, the towing capacity is increased, but there is a risk that the tractor will tip back.
Therefore ensure that the trailer shaft is not at too great an upward angle.
• When using 4WD, the towing bracket should be in the lower position with the shaft almost horizontal.
• Avoid towing excessively heavy trailers or loads.
• Never start suddenly, as this also considerably increases the risk of tipping backwards.
• Always brake the trailer first and then the tractor.
6-40
6 - WORKING OPERATIONS
Swinging drawbar
Use the swinging drawbar for implements, agricultural
machinery and trailers with two axles.
Do not use for single−axle trailers as they apply
excessive weight to the bar, which will risk tipping the
tractor.
The device can be supplied:
• with the relative brackets to fit rigid towing hooks and
towing hooks;
• with a bracket designed to fit only to a towbar.
The following adjustments can be made to the bar:
• Prevention of lateral swing by inserting two pins (3) in
the respective holes.
MOIL13TR00757AA
1
• Lateral adjustment of the bar, which can be positioned
either to the right or to the left by means of the pin (1), is
extremely useful for implements or machines requiring
free lateral movement.
• By varying the position of the locking pin (2) in the holes
of the drawbar (4) it is possible to vary the distance of
the tow from the PTO shaft.
NOTE: Use the front towing fork for possible emergency
trailer manoeuvres or for towing the tractor.

WHEELS AND TIRES
Wheels and tires
WARNING
Explosion hazard!
Tires must be replaced by skilled personnel with the proper tools and technical knowledge. Unskilled
personnel replacing wheels or tires could result in serious physical injuries, tire damage, and/or wheel
distortion. Always have a qualified tire mechanic service wheels and tires.
Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury.
W0171A
WARNING
Explosion hazard!
A tire can explode during inflation. Replace a tire if it has any defect(s). Replace a wheel rim that has
cracks, wear, or severe rust.
Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury.
W0455A
USE, MAINTENANCE AND REPLACEMENT
• When changing tires, select suitable tires for the actual tractor use, taking account of the recommended combina-
tions.
• Do not exceed the permitted load indicated on the tires.
• Do not exceed the speeds shown on the tires, as this both overheats and causes premature tire wear.
• Do not fit used tires where their previous use is unknown.
• Ask the manufacturer or a tire specialist for advice.
• After fitting tires, check that the wheel nuts are tight after 3 hours in operation and then periodically.
• Following this, check the tightness on a regular basis.
• Do not stand tires on hydrocarbons (oil, diesel, grease, etc.).
• The tires fitted on the tractor must be checked periodically, with special care given to:
- tread, must have regular consumption;
- flanks, must not have any cracks, swellings or abrasions.
• Have the tires checked by a specialist if one or more of the problems mentioned above should occur.
• Consult an expert if a tire is subject to violent shocks, even if there are no visible signs of damage.
• Tires age, even if used infrequently or not at all.
• Cracks on the walls, sometimes accompanied by bulges, are a sign of ageing.
• Tires fitted on tractors which are not used for extended periods tend to age more rapidly than those used more
frequently. In this event, it is advisable to raise the tractor from the ground and protect the tires from direct sunlight.

INFLATION PRESSURES
For safe and long-lasting tire use, the following
instructions must be closely observed.
• Use the correct pressures for each axle and for the type
of use planned.
• Ensure tire pressures are not lower than the correct val-
ues, to prevent overheating of the tires, which can lead
to:
- tire bursting;
- coming off rim;
- internal damage;
- irregular wear and short service life.
DCUTDNEGB077S3A
2
Low pressure
• Do not over-inflate the tires, as this may lead to damage
in the event of impact and, in extreme conditions, the
tire rim may be deformed or the tire may burst.
• Check tire pressures at least every two weeks, espe-
cially when liquid ballast is used. Tire pressures should
be checked only when the tires are cold, as pressures
rise during use, as a result of the tires heating up. Tires
can be assumed to be cold if they have not been used
for at least one hour, or have not covered more than two
to three kilometres. Never reduce tire pressures when
the tires are hot.
DCUTDNEGB078S3A
3
Pressure too high
When checking tire pressures, keep the body away from
the valve mechanism or cap.
NOTICE: The tire pressures vary depending on the load
weighing on the axles.
WARNING
Explosion hazard!
Always maintain correct tire pressure as in-
dicated in this manual. DO NOT inflate tires
above the recommended pressure. Excessive
pressure could result in tire failure.
Failure to comply could result in death or se-
rious injury.

Steering angle adjustment
When using the narrowest tracks, the tires may touch the
tractor body when the steered wheels are at full lock and
the front axle is at maximum pivot position. To avoid this
problem, the steering angle can be adjusted by means of
screw (1) fig. 5.
To adjust the steering angle, proceed as follows:
• turn the wheels;
• adjust the protrusion (L) fig. 5 of screw (1) fig. 6 so that
the wheels cannot come into contact with the tractor
body;
DCUTDNEGB066S3A

• on termination of adjustment operations, secure the
screw (1) by means of the locknut (2) fig. 6.
Repeat the same operations for the opposite wheel.
NOTE: After adjusting the steering angle, make sure that
when the wheels are fully locked, there is at least a 20 mm
(0.79 in) clearance between the tire or the mudguard and
the tractor body.

Front axle swing adjustment
If necessary, you can increase the swing of the axle.
With the nut (1) fitted internally as in the figure, the axle
has its minimum swing.
To increase the swing, proceed as follows:
• Unscrew the screw (2) and move the nut (1) outwards.
NOTE: The same adjustments must be performed on the
opposite side.
NOTICE: When you are in the situation of greatest axle

WARNING
Crushing hazard!
Counterweights are very heavy. Always use certified lifting equipment to remove and install the coun-
terweights. Make sure the hardware securing the counterweight(s) to the machine is installed correctly
and the clamp bolts are tightened fully before operating the machine.
Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury.
W0402A
WARNING
Heavy object!
Clear the area around and under the counterweight removal and installation system before installing
or removing counterweights. Keep all unauthorized personnel clear of the area. Make sure all lifting
devices are in good condition and capable of handling the counterweight mass.
Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury.
W0037A
WARNING
Driving hazard!
Be aware that extra weight and bad traction conditions such as mud or ice increase your stopping
distance. Liquid in the tires, weights on the machine or wheels, tanks filled with fertilizer, herbicides,
or insecticides - all these add weight and increase the distance you need to stop.
Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury.

If your tractor requires high traction power, the drive wheels may slip due to insufficient grip on the ground, causing
loss of power and speed, increased fuel consumption and premature tyre wear. We therefore advise fitting cast−iron
rings as ballast on the drive wheels, or ballasting wheels with cast iron discs.
When using very long and heavy implements, which could affect the longitudinal stability of the tractor, ballast the
front axle by fitting the appropriate cast−iron counterweights.
Front axle ballast
•
4 plates each weighing 25 kg (55 lb)
•
6 plates each weighing 25 kg (55 lb).
•
6 plates each weighing 40 kg (88 lb).
To remove the blocks of ballast, unscrew the bolt (1) and
extract the pin.
NOTICE: Do not use the tractor until the plates have been
locked together.

Introduction
This section gives full details of the maintenance procedures required to keep the tractor in conditions of maximum
efficiency. The lubrication and maintenance table provides rapid reference for this purpose.
Maintenance frequency
The service intervals at set times, given in this section, apply when the tractor is used under normal and not harsh
conditions.
These service intervals must be reduced even on a daily basis if necessary when there are adverse conditions (wet-
ness, mud, sand, great dustiness, etc.).
Shortening the interval from one job to the next is particularly recommended for the following parts:
• Cleaning the cab air filters (use in damp or particularly dusty places).
• Radiator cores (use in particularly dusty places).
• Lubricators (use in particularly muddy places).
Environmental Protection
Always bear in mind the rules of environmental protection before servicing this machine and before disposing of
old fluids, lubricants and filters.
• Never pour oil or fluids onto the ground, into the drainage system or into containers that do not have a seal.
• Dispose of all old fluids, lubricants and filters in compliance with the local laws.
• For any further information, please contact your local differentiated waste collection centre or your dealer.
When it is necessary to refill the fuel tank, or top up or change the oil, never forget to place a container under the
component to collect any spillage.
The products mentioned are pollutants and we must therefore prevent them from contaminating the environment in
which we live.
Preventing system contamination
To avoid contamination when changing oil, filters, etc, always clean the area around the fill points, inspection and
drain plugs, dipsticks and filters.
Before connecting external cylinders, make sure that the oil inside is clean, that it has not deteriorated after prolonged
storage and that it is of the type specified. To prevent dirt entering, clean the lubricating nipples before lubrication.
Wipe excess grease from the fitting after greasing.

Body maintenance
Protection against atmospheric agents
Over the years, NEW HOLLAND have introduced a series of measures to protect the tractor from the deterioration
and corrosion which can be caused by various external elements, such as those listed below:
• salinity and atmospheric humidity
• atmospheric pollution (industrial areas);
• abrasive action of solid substances;
• using tractor in the presence of aggressive chemical and/or organic substances;
• physical damage such as dents, abrasions or deep scratches.
The technical response to these problems was:
• highly corrosion−resistant zinc plating;
• paint systems and paints which help the tractor resist corrosion and abrasion;
• application of suitable hardened plastic coatings at points which are particularly vulnerable to corrosion (edges,
projections and sheet−metal welded joints).
Unfortunately, external agents act in various ways according to environmental conditions and tractor use. However,
if the user takes enough care, the tractor can be maintained better and for longer.
The following information is provided to help achieve this aim.

The following information is provided to help achieve this aim.
Bodywork and cab
Where there are abrasions or deep scratches, which expose the underlying metal, they need to be retouched
immediately with genuine products as follows:
• rub down the area thoroughly;
• apply the primer;
• leave to dry and then rub down once more;
• apply the paint;
• lastly, polish.
Maintenance of the paintwork is normally carried out by washing, at intervals that depend on the conditions of use
and the environment.
In areas prone to atmospheric pollution and coastal zones, washing should be carried out more frequently, whereas
if organic or chemical substances are present, wash immediately after the tractor is used. Use a low pressure water
spray, sponge down with a solution of ( 2 - 4 % of shampoo in water), rinsing the sponge frequently. Rinse the tractor
thoroughly and dry, if possible, with a jet of air.
Avoid washing the tractor after it has been standing in the sun and when the engine is still hot in order to protect the
shine on the paint.
7-5
7 - MAINTENANCE
It is good practice to protect the paint by polishing it with specialised products (silicone waxes) from time to time and,
when the paint starts to dull, you can use wax polish which has a slight abrasive action.
Cab maintenance
• Periodically check that no water remains in areas covered with mats or padding.
• Protect the hinges and locks on the doors, roof and opening windows with lubricants and water− repellents.
• Clean the windows with suitable detergents. If necessary, use sulphuric ether.
• Remove the windscreen wiper blade and sprinkle talcum powder on the rubber surfaces.
• Leave the doors partially open.
► WARNING ◄
When washing your tractor, never direct the jet of water horizontally, but only from top to bottom so as not to
reach the following components:
• alternator;
• starter motor;
• air filter;
• connectors and other electrical components;
• especially on models with a roll bar, the ignition key must be inserted in the switch to prevent water getting in.
