PRECAUTIONARY STATEMENTS PERSONAL SAFETY Throughout this manual and on machine decals, you will find precautionary statements (“CAUTION”, “WARNING”, and “DANGER”) followed by specific instructions. These precautions are intended for the personal safety of you and those working with you. Please take the time to read them.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONARY STATEMENTS National Safety Council statistics indicate many people die or suffer serious injury each year as a result of farm accidents. Don’t become a statistic or victim. Carefully review the procedures given in this manual with all operators ANNUALLY. It is important that all operators be familiar with, AND FOLLOW, safety precautions.
. Use extreme caution when operating on steep slopes. 9. To avoid overturns, drive the tractor with care and at speeds compatible with safety, especially when operating over rough ground, when crossing ditches or slopes and when turning corners. 10. Keep the tractor in the same gear when going down hill as would be used when going uphill. Do not coast or freewheel down hills. 11. When descending steep grades, select a sufficiently low gear to maintain control with minimum braking. 20.
However, noise (sound pressure level) in the workplace can exceed 86dB(A) when the cab windows are open. Therefore, it is recommended that the operators wear suitable ear protectors when operating in high noise level conditions. 8. Do not operate the tractor engine in an enclosed building without adequate ventilation. Exhaust fumes can cause death. 9. The cab air filter is designed to remove dust from the air but will not exclude chemical vapor.
OPERATING THE PTO 4. To prevent fire or explosion, keep open flames away from the battery or coldweather starting aids. To prevent sparks which could cause explosion, use jumper cables according to instructions. 1. When operating PTO-driven equipment, shut off the engine and wait until the PTO stops before getting off the tractor and disconnecting the equipment. 5. Do not attempt to service the air conditioning system. It is possible to suffer severe frost bite or injury from escaping refrigerant.
DIESEL FUEL 11. Tractor wheels are very heavy. Handle with care and ensure, when stored, they cannot fall and cause injury. 1. Under no circumstances should gasoline, alcohol or blended fuels be added to diesel fuel. These combinations can create an increased fire or explosive hazard. In a closed container, such as a fuel tank, these blends are more explosive than pure gasoline. Do not use these blends. 12. Dispose of all drained fluids and removed filters properly.
SAFETY CAB 3. Never attach chains or ropes to the cab or main frame for pulling purposes. Your tractor is equipped with a safety cab which must be maintained in a serviceable condition. Be careful when driving through doorways or working in confined spaces with low headroom. 4. Never take unnecessary risks even though your safety cab affords you the maximum protection possible. 5. Do not carry harmful chemicals in the cab. Chemicals may rupture the container, and the fumes may poison the operator. 1.

SECTION 2 - OPERATION ARTICULATION LOCK The articulation lock pin prevents the tractor frames from articulating when placed in the lock position. The pin has two positions in the frame: 1 When the pin is in the right side of the frame, 1, it is in the operate position. Figure 2-32 When the pin is in the left side of the frame, 2, it is in the lock position. 2 Use the articulation lock during stationary applications, servicing, jacking or overhaul operations. Do not use when the tractor is operating.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION TRACTOR START-UP AND ENGINE OPERATION 6. Check the drawbar and 3-point hitch for wear, especially around metal-to-metal contact parts. WARNING: AVOID POSSIBLE INJURY OR DEATH FROM A MACHINE RUNAWAY. ENGINE STARTING IMPORTANT: Protect the turbocharger during start-up by not opening the throttle or accelerating above 1000 RPM until the engine oil pressure gauge reads in the normal range. Avoid excessive engine speed during warm-up.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION IMPORTANT: To prevent starter motor damage, never crank the engine for more than 30 seconds. If the engine does not start within 30 seconds, wait 2 minutes to cool the starter motor before recranking. 10. Once the engine has started, allow it to idle and warm up before adding a working load. IMPORTANT: Pay attention to the warning light bar and electronic monitor for any indication of a problem. Stop the tractor immediately and investigate the problem.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION 12. If, after the engine starts, it runs roughly while at low idle with an outside ambient temperature below 0° C (32° F), it is permissible to press the cold start button and inject an additional amount of starting fluid into the engine to aid in engine warm-up. NOTE: The cold start system injects a 4.8 cc metered shot of starting fluid into the engine with each depression of the switch.

A 3-wire 15-amp extension cord is required to connect the block heater to a grounded 115volt electrical outlet. 1 WARNING: TO AVOID SHOCKS OR OTHER INJURIES, NEVER USE AN UNGROUNDED OR INADEQUATE EXTENSION CORD.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION Tractor Boosting 1. Set the park brake, put the transmission in neutral, PTO clutch control and all accessories OFF. CAUTION: WHEN SERVICING BATTERIES, DISCONNECT THE NEGATIVE (BLACK) CABLES BEFORE THE POSITIVE (RED) CABLES. WHEN CONNECTING CABLES, CONNECT THE POSITIVE (RED) CABLE FIRST, THEN THE NEGATIVE (BLACK). THIS WILL REDUCE THE POSSIBILITY OF SPARKING AND BATTERY EXPLOSION. 2.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION THROTTLE The tractor is equipped with a hand throttle, located on the right console. Rated operating speed is 2100 RPM Idle speed is 850--900 RPM. High idle no load speed varies by model from 2250 RPM to 2300 RPM. To increase engine speed, move the lever forward (rabbit). Pulling the lever backward will reduce engine speed (turtle). Fuel consumption can be reduced by operating at lower engine speeds under light load.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION The “+/–(SET)” button will change the setting 10 RPM per momentary push. When the button is held down, the RPM will continue to move up or down. However, the dash RPM display will not keep up with RPM changes when the button is held down. In this case, it is advisable to estimate the setting by ear, wait for the dash to catch up, and fine tune the RPM using momentary pushes. It is never possible to set the cruise higher than the current throttle lever position.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION Deceleration (manual or pedal) - When in cruise mode and hand throttle, 1, moves lower than the cruise setting, the cruise RPM decreases as well and stays 100 RPM less than the normal RPM for that throttle position. The RPM will increase back up to the cruise setting if the throttle handle is moved forward again. Example: With the throttle handle at Full Throttle, the cruise is set to 1800 RPM.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION STOPPING THE TRACTOR 1. Gradually slow down the tractor. Set the throttle as low as possible. 2. Disengage the clutch, apply the brake and put the controls into neutral. 3. Reduce the engine speed to Idle. Run the engine for 3 to 5 minutes before shutdown to allow the engine to cool. 4. Shut down the engine and remove the key. Turn all electrical accessories OFF. IMPORTANT: If the engine has overheated, allow it to idle an extended length of time to reduce the temperature.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION 2. Rotate the temperature control knob, 1, counterclockwise (toward the red) to increase the temperature and clockwise (toward the blue) to decrease the temperature. 2 4 3 3. There are four positions on the pressurizer fan switch, 2. The full counterclockwise position is off. Each detent in the clockwise direction increases the speed of the fan. The fan speeds are low, high, and purge. 4. The recirculation knob, 3, controls the mix between external air and recirculated cab air.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION 4. The recirculation knob, 4, controls the mix between external air and recirculated cab air. To increase the amount of fresh air entering the cab, rotate the knob counterclockwise. Rotate the knob clockwise to recirculate the cab air. Do not block the recirculation vent when recirculating cab air. NOTE: The left-hand side of the cab roof has a second recirculation vent that has a fixed opening and is not adjustable.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION MIRROR An interior rearview mirror, 1, is provided for your convenience. It is located on the right post and is adjustable. NOTE: To provide a wider view, the mirror has a convex lens. This causes objects to appear farther away than they are. 1 Figure 2-46 RADIO (Optional Equipment) There are various optional radios that can be installed in the cab. If no radio has been installed in your tractor, your Buhler Versatile dealer can install the radio of your choice.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION BRAKING SYSTEM PARK BRAKE The park brake is located on the floor just to the right of the operator’s seat. The parking brake must be engaged (pulled up) to start the tractor. A light on the warning light bar will indicate park brake engagement. NOTE: The tractor will not start if the park brake is not engaged. Figure 2-48 FOOT BRAKE The foot brake pedal, 1, is located in the lower right corner of the operator’s console near the cab floor.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION TRANSMISSION OPERATION QUAD SHIFT III 12 x 4 OPERATION All gears in the transmission are constantly in mesh. When a range is selected, shift collars splined to the shafts are being engaged with the range gears. The tractor must be at full stop in order to shift between ranges. The transmission has three forward ranges and one reverse range. Within each range, including reverse, there are four synchronized speeds. The synchronized speeds allow for easier shifting within each range.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION QUAD SHIFT III SHIFTING 1 Range Shifting 2 1. Be sure the engine speed is below 1700 RPM. Whenever possible, reduce engine speed to idle. 2. Depress the clutch fully and bring the tractor to a complete stop. Place the range shift lever, 1, in neutral. Wait three to four seconds to allow the gears to slow down to a near stopped condition. Select the desired range. Shift pattern decals, 2, are located behind the shift lever indicating range position.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION Gear Shifting within a Range IMPORTANT: It is recommended that shifting on the fly be limited to light draft or rolling loads and only within a gear range. Do not attempt to shift between ranges without first coming to a complete stop. 1. Depress the clutch pedal fully. 2. Move the gearshift lever, 1, to the proper gear. Shift pattern decals, 2, are located below the shift lever indicating gear position and a speed chart decal is located on the right window of the cab.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION POWERSHIFT TRANSMISSION OPERATION The powershift transmission gears are constantly in mesh. Gear shifting is done by the use of eight clutches in the transmission. There are twelve forward speeds and two reverse speeds. Clutch selection is controlled by electric solenoid valves which direct hydraulic oil to the required clutches. When the operator selects a gear, an electronically controlled shift system activates the solenoids required for the specified gear.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION The powershift transmission is operated by a single control lever, 1. Because the transmission has only one control lever, it is extremely easy to use. 1 2 NOTE: The control lever is equipped with a neutral lock button, 2. The control lever may only be moved to the forward or reverse positions if the neutral lock button on the control lever knob is depressed. Neutral may be selected without depressing the neutral lock button.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION Automatic Range Select Forward/Reverse Shifting Depressing the clutch pedal while the tractor is moving causes a neutral condition, allowing the electronic control to automatically select a transmission range matching tractor ground and engine speeds when the clutch pedal is released. For example, if the tractor is in ninth gear forward and the operator depresses the clutch pedal, tractor ground speed will be reduced but engine RPM will remain the same.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION DECELERATOR PEDAL At the lower front of the right console is a mechanically actuated decelerator pedal, 1, which can be used to reduce engine speed when turning or while shifting. When fully depressed, engine speed will drop to a preset level. If the pedal is not fully depressed, engine speed will be reduced proportionally. When the pedal is released, engine speed will return to the previous throttle setting. 1 IMPORTANT: Do not release the decelerator before completing the turn.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION DRIVING THE TRACTOR WARNING: OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS WHEN DRIVING THE TRACTOR: REDUCE SPEED BEFORE TURNING OR APPLYING THE BRAKE. WATCH WHERE YOU ARE GOING ESPECIALLY AT ROW ENDS, ON ROADS, AND AROUND TREES. NEVER APPLY THE DIFFERENTIAL LOCK WHEN TURNING. USE CAUTION WHEN OPERATING ON SLOPES. USE EXTREME CAUTION AND AVOID HARD APPLICATIONS OF THE TRACTOR BRAKE WHEN PULLING HEAVY, TOWED LOADS AT ROAD SPEEDS. KEEP THE TRACTOR IN GEAR WHEN GOING DOWNHILL.

In addition, the left and right outermost headlights, 1, mounted above the front grille, will be lit.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION Position Four - “Field Use” - Rotating the switch to position four will shut off the front and rear roof-mounted warning lights and the rear fender-mounted taillights. The two sets of work lights, 1, located on the rear fenders will light. The single work lights, 2, located on the right and left front fenders will also light. All four headlights located above the front grille will also be lit.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION Cab Dome Light 1 The cab dome light, 1, mounted on the upper left side of the cab, has a three-position control switch, 2. The light switch functions as follows: 2 Center - Light is off. Bottom - Light is on constantly. Top - Light is on only when the cab door is open. Light will turn off when door is closed. Figure 2-63 Trouble Light A trouble light, 1, is located in the left, rear corner of the cab, under the rear shelf. The light has an 5.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION Wide Transport Marker Lights Wide transport marker lights are standard with all tire options. The flashing wide transport marker lights function in unison with the front and rear roof-mounted warning lights. The lights will flash in the hazard lights, roadway use, and turn signal position of the rotary light switch and multifunction switch. Figure 2-65 The wide transport marker lights have an adjustable width with three settings depending on the size of tires used.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION Roof-Mounted Work Lights (Optional) Additional roof-mounted work lights, 1, are available to provide increased illumination to the front and back of the tractor. The lights are fully adjustable side to side, and up and down. 1 The roof-mounted work lights will be activated when the rotary light switch is in position five. Figure 2-68 Trailer Socket 1 The trailer socket, 1, is attached to the hydraulic remote coupler bracket at the rear of the tractor.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION There is a male connector, 1, available through your Buhler Versatile dealer, part #V59624, that can be purchased to accommodate trailer wire harnesses.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION ELECTRONIC INSTRUMENT CONTROL SYSTEM The 2290, 2335, 2360, 2375 and 2425 tractors are equipped with an Electronic Instrument Control System designed to provide the operator with information concerning tractor functions, calibration procedures to meet specific operation requirements, and serve as a visual and audio warning system of malfunctions that have occurred in the tractor operating systems.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION Electronic Monitor The electronic monitor, 1, is an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) that is divided into two sections; an upper section, 2, and a lower section, 3. 1 2 The upper section of the monitor is dedicated to providing engine RPM readout at all times during normal tractor operation, regardless of the position of the rotary select switch.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION Engine and EICS The large 4WD tractors are equipped with electronic engine controls. The Cummins Engine Company Electronic Fuel Control System controls the injection of fuel (both quantity and timing). The Cummins electronically engines have a control module, 1, (N14 engine shown) and related control and sensing devices are attached to the engine at various locations. 1 Tractors equipped with these Electronic controlled engines have additional electronic control features.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION The throttle lever, 1, in the cab of the tractor is attached to a potentiometer (POT) in the right hand side console. The POT sends an electronic signal (via the tractor wire harness) to the controller on the side of the engine, telling it where to set the engine speed. By moving the throttle lever, the POT signal is changed and the module reacts accordingly to set engine speed to match the lever position.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION NORMAL OPERATION OF THE ELECTRONIC INSTRUMENT CONTROL SYSTEM The following is a description of how the Electronic Instrument Control System will work at engine start-up and field operation. The information is based on a tractor that has no errors indicated and is properly calibrated.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION Key to the “ENGINE START” Position Engine Cranking Key in the “RUN” Position - Engine Running When the key turns to the “ENGINE START” position, the engine starts to crank and the four lights illuminated with the switch in the “RUN” position remain on. Once the engine is running, the Engine Oil Pressure and Transmission Lube Pressure lamps will go out as soon as sufficient pressure builds up to cancel the warnings.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION Engine Running - Normal Operation There are six different modes the electronic monitor will be in depending on the position of the rotary select switch. The upper half of the display will always show engine RPM no matter what position the rotary select switch is set at. The bottom half of the display will show a readout based on the position of the rotary select switch.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION PTO Speed - The lower half of the display will show the speed at which the PTO shaft is turning based on the engine RPM. The letters “PTO” will also be displayed in the lower right corner of the lower display. The readout value shown for PTO speed is a factor of engine speed and is automatically calculated by the electronic monitor. There is no sensor on the tractor reading actual PTO output speed.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION NOTE: The Electronic Instrument Control System has a feature to alert the operator of tractor ground speeds over 20 km/h (12.5 MPH). If at any time the tractor ground speed reaches 20 km/h (12.5 MPH), the lower portion of the monitor will display the ground speed and MPH or km/h symbol no matter which position the rotary select switch is in. Figure 2-86 The operator can switch the lower portion of the monitor back to its former display by pressing the acknowledge/reset button.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION When the service interval one position is selected, the lower half of the display will show a “service one” symbol and the hours accumulated since the last service was performed on the tractor. If the user presses the acknowledge/reset button, the lower half of the display will show the setting at which service interval one has been programmed. Pushing the acknowledge/reset button again will return the display back to the accumulated hours for service interval one.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION When the service interval two position is selected, the lower half of the display will show a “service two” symbol and the hours accumulated since the last service was performed on the tractor. If the user presses the acknowledge/reset button, the lower half of the display will show the setting at which service interval two has been programmed. Pushing the acknowledge/reset button again will return the display back to the accumulated hours for service interval two.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION The second function of the tractor accumulated hours position is to display a whole number value (to the tenth digit) reflecting the total number of hours accumulated on the tractor up to 1999.9. This allows the user to keep track of tractor usage accumulated during different tractor operations. This will appear on the lower half of the display along with the hourglass symbol after the total tractor hours display disappears.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION Entering the Calibration Mode CALIBRATING THE ELECTRONIC INSTRUMENT CONTROL SYSTEM It will be necessary to put the system into the calibration mode. To do this, the ignition must be in the “OFF” position. Place the rotary select switch in the desired position to be calibrated. Press and hold the acknowledge/reset button. Continue to hold the acknowledge/reset button and turn the ignition to the “RUN” position. The display monitor will go through its normal initial test sequence.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION 1. Setting the Tire Rolling Radius NOTE: Setting the tire radius is only necessary when the tractor is not equipped with the Tractor Performance Monitor option. If the tractor being calibrated is equipped with the performance monitor, skip this step and proceed to “Programming Units of Ground Speed Measure.” A.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION D. Add the two measurements taken and divide by two to give an average rolling radius value. Round this value to the nearest tenth (0.1). EXAMPLE Axle #1 87 cm (34.25″) Axle #2 86 cm (33.75″) Total 173 cm (68.00″) ÷ 2 = 86 cm (34.00″) Rounded Totals 86 cm (34.0″) E. To place the value into the monitor, use the digit select switch to select the necessary numbers. The monitor will accept values between 50.8 cm and 127.0 cm (20.0″ and 50.0″). F.

The lower portion of the display will show 103 or 12, depending on current programmed selection. B.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION AUDIBLE/VISUAL ALARMS OF THE ELECTRONIC INSTRUMENT CONTROL SYSTEM Low Transmission Lube Pressure The Electronic Instrument Control System will notify the operator that the transmission lubrication pressure is below 21 kPa (3 PSI) and the quantity of oil entering the transmission is not adequate to properly lubricate the internal components. See “Transmission” in Section 4 for possible causes of low transmission lube pressure.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION Transmission Lubrication Filter Bypass The Electronic Instrument Control System will notify the operator that the transmission lubrication filter is in the bypass condition and oil entering the transmission is not passing through the filter element. The transmission will still receive lubrication oil, but the oil will not be filtered, and may contain contaminants. See “Transmission Troubleshooting” in Section 4 for possible causes of filter bypass.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION Hydraulic System Filter Bypass The Electronic Instrument Control System will notify the operator that the hydraulic system filter is in the bypass condition and oil entering the hydraulic system is not passing through the filter element. The hydraulic system will still receive oil, but the oil will not be filtered and may contain contaminants. See “Hydraulic System Troubleshooting” in Section 4 for possible causes of filter bypass.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION Low Engine Oil Pressure (below 100 kPa (15 psi)) The Electronic Instrument Control System will notify the operator that the engine lubrication oil pressure has dropped to a point that will no longer provide adequate lubrication to the engine. Simultaneously, the module of the Cummins engine will begin an engine derate sequence that will protect the engine from harm due to low oil pressure.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION If the Operator does not press the acknowledge/reset button during the pre--alarm sequence, the EICS will progress to the full critical alarm stage. The EICS will display a constant “STOP” message in the upper portion of the display and the lower portion will display all symbols related to the rotary select switch. The audible alarm will become a steady, solid tone. If the automatic shutdown system is enabled on the tractor, the engine will shut off automatically.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION Low Engine Oil Pressure (140--210 kPa (20--30 psi)) at Engine Speeds Above 1200 rpm The Module on the Cummins engine will react to a condition of low engine oil pressure (140 -- 210 kPa (20--30 psi)) when the engine speed is above 1200 rpm. The quantity of oil in the lube circuit is not adequate to properly protect the engine components at the selected engine speed (normal oil pressure for engine speeds above 1200 rpm is 210 -- 345 kPa (30--50 psi)).
SECTION 2 - OPERATION If engine oil pressure continues to drop and reaches 100 kPa (15 psi), the EICS will react as detailed in “Low Engine Oil Pressure (below 100 kPa (15 psi)) at Any Engine Speed” in this manual. If the tractor is shut down and then restarted, and the alarm condition still exists, (low engine oil pressure at engine speeds above 1200 rpm) the module will repeat the derate sequence.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION Low Coolant Level The Electronic Instrument Control System will notify the operator that the engine coolant level has dropped 4.5 L (5.3 US qts) below the acceptable fill level in the radiator. Simultaneously, the module of the Cummins engine will begin an engine derate sequence that will protect the engine from harm due to low engine coolant. A low coolant level condition can overheat the engine, causing extensive engine damage.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION The Operator cannot cancel or interrupt the derate sequence from occurring on the engine. The module does not recognize activation of, nor is it tied into the EICS acknowledge/reset button on the dash of the tractor. tractor is restarted and the alarm condition has been corrected, the tractor will return to normal operation. If the tractor is not shut down, and the alarm condition is corrected, the tractor will return to normal operation without having to shut it off and restart it.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION High Engine Coolant Temperature The Electronic Instrument Control System will notify the operator that the engine coolant temperature has reached a point that will no longer provide adequate cooling, and engine overheating may occur. Simultaneously, the module of the Cummins engine will begin an engine derate sequence that will help protect the engine from harm due to high engine coolant temperature.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION Doing either one of these two items will allow the engine coolant temperature to drop below 106_C (222_ F), where normal horsepower level will resume. If the Operator takes no action to cool the engine down (reduce load or stop tractor motion and run engine unloaded), the engine coolant temperature will continue to increase. The module will continue the proportional derate of 2% power decrease for each 1_C (1_ F) of coolant temperature above 106_C (222_ F).
SECTION 2 - OPERATION If the Operator does not press the acknowledge/reset button during the pre--alarm sequence, the EICS will progress to the full critical alarm stage. The EICS will display a constant “STOP” message in the upper portion of the display and the lower portion will display all symbols related to the rotary select switch. The audible alarm will become a steady, solid tone. If the automatic shutdown system is enabled on the tractor, the engine will shut off automatically.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION Electrical System High/Low Voltage The Electronic Instrument Control System will notify the operator that the electrical system of the tractor is operating at a voltage too high or too low for normal operation. The following operating conditions will cause the voltage warning system to actuate: A. The tractor running and more than 15 volts is measured in the electrical system. B. The tractor running above 1500 RPM and less than 12.5 volts is measured in the electrical system. C.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION The operator can cancel the audible alarm and the “VOLTS” only display on the lower portion of the monitor by pressing the acknowledge/reset button. The lower portion of the monitor will revert back to its previous display based on the position of the rotary select switch, but “VOLTS” will flash in the lower portion of the monitor along with the selected display. The audible alarm will not return until the ignition switch is turned to the “OFF” position and the tractor is restarted.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION Fuel Level The Electronic Instrument Control System will notify the operator that the fuel level in the fuel tanks has reached 1/12 of total fuel capacity 1/12 equals 68.1 L (18 gals.) and that tractor refueling is required. The system also has a feature to assist the operator during refueling procedures. An audible indicator for fuel level alerts the operator that the tanks are 3/4 and 7/8 full.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION During refueling of the tractor, when the ignition is in the “RUN” position and the engine off, and the fuel level reaching 3/4 capacity, the audible alarm will sound raidly. The top portion of the monitor will flash the words “FULL” “3/4” indicating the fuel tanks are nearing capacity. 3/4 Figure 2-116 Continued filling of the tanks to the 7/8 level will cause the audible alarm to sound a solid tone continuously and the upper portion of the monitor will flash “FUEL” “FULL”.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION Transmission Speed Sensor Failures The Electronic Instrument Control System will notify the operator that the transmission speed sensor or the wiring to the sensor has an open or short circuit. See “Electrical Troubleshooting” in Section 4 for the proper steps to follow to find a possible open or short circuit. The following description details the reaction of the electronic monitor and audible alarm in the event of an open or short in the transmission speed sensor circuit.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION A transmission speed sensor open or short circuit is considered a non-critical alarm function and will not cause the electronic monitor to go into the “STOP” mode or cause the automatic shutdown to activate. ATTENTION: It is important that the operator shut the tractor off and find the cause of the open or short circuit to maintain proper operation of the Electronic Instrument Control System.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION Electronic Monitor Rotary Select Switch Failures The Electronic Instrument Control System will notify the operator that the rotary select switch has an open circuit. The select switch will not function in any of the calibration modes or normal operation positions. Refer to “Electrical Troubleshooting” in Section 4 for possible causes of an open circuit.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION Engine Overspeed Condition The engine control module monitors engine speeds (rpm) during normal tractor operation. The module will protect the engine from an overspeed condition anytime it senses engine speed above 2630 rpm. Overspeed can damage internal engine components (especially valve train components), causing severe failure of the engine. An example of this would be a tractor that is towing an implement and operating at the full throttle position (e.g.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION Yellow and Red Engine Warning Lights The EICS has two engine lamps located in the lower right hand corner of the warning light bar. The module on the side of the engine controls these lights. The yellow engine warning light, 1, will illuminate when the module senses non--critical electrical faults. Non--critical faults are related to the engine electrical components that communicate with the module.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION The module will illuminate the appropriate engine warning light (yellow or red) based on the source of the fault, and will take additional action by adjusting the performance of the engine by one of following methods: If the tractor is shut down and then restarted, and the electrical fault still exists on the tractor (non--critical or critical), the module will repeat the warning light and derate sequence.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION ADDITIONAL FEATURES OF THE ELECTRONIC INSTRUMENT CONTROL SYSTEM Automatic Shutdown Conversion - Each tractor is manufactured so that the operator can convert the Electronic Instrument Control System to shut the tractor engine off. Tractors are assembled with the engine shutdown feature disabled. The operator has the option of enabling the feature at any time. If the operator desires to enable the automatic shutdown feature, proceed as follows: 1.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION 3. Locate the small pin connector, 1, for the shutdown circuit. The pin connector is between the 3-amp turn signal fuse and the 10-amp tail lamp fuse. Remove the 3-amp fuse and 10-amp fuse from their locations to give better access to the small pin connector. 1 Figure 2-126 4. Using a small pair of needle-nose pliers, pull straight upward on the small pin connector, 1, and reinstall it so the front two pins are connected together. The rear pin will now be bare.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION External Shutdown Conversion - Each tractor is manufactured so that the operator can convert the Electronic Instrument Control System to shut the tractor engine off via a signal from an outside source (i.e., a towed implement that is powered by a separate engine).
SECTION 2 - OPERATION 2. Locate the two-terminal bus bar, 1, on the right side of the electronic control panel. 1 Figure 2-129 3. Attach the wire leading out to the external source to the right terminal of the bus bar, 1, (the terminal is marked “Shutdown External”). 1 4.

SECTION 2 - OPERATION External Alarm Control Conversion - Each tractor is manufactured so that the Electronic Instrument Control System can be converted to inform the operator, via the electronic monitor and audible alarm, that there is a problem with an outside source (i.e., a towed implement that is powered by a separate engine). If the tractor Electronic Instrument Control System receives a signal from an external source, the upper portion of the electronic monitor will flash “EXT” “ALR”.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION 2. Locate the two-terminal bus bar on the right side of the electronic control panel. 1 Figure 2-132 3. Attach the wire leading out to the external source to the left terminal of the bus bar, 1, (the terminal is marked “Audio External”). 4. Route the wire out to the external source through the cover plate at the right rear corner of the cab (See “Installation of Cab-Mounted Accessories” in Section 1 for correct wire routing). 5.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION Engine Diagnostics The control module on the engine has diagnostic features built into it that allow an authorized Cummins dealer/distributor to access and review fault codes that have occurred in the engine. Each time a fault occurs in the system, the module records it in memory. The Cummins dealer/distributor can retrieve these codes to assist in diagnosing an engine failure.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION TRACTOR PERFORMANCE MONITOR (Optional) DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION The optional Tractor Performance Monitor automatically begins to work as the ignition switch is turned to the “RUN” position. Transmission Output Shaft Sensor - Actual wheel speed. The system provides operating information on: The system consists of the following items: Area/Hour - Acres (or Hectares) per hour based on last five seconds of operation. Control Console - LCD display and three touch-sensitive switches.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION Implement Status Switch The implement status switch, 1, installed at a location on the 3-point hitch or on the drawbar implement, indicates to the console whether the implement is up (area accumulation off) or down (area accumulation on). 1 The console displays an “UP” message which should be synchronized with the implement position.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION Caret 1/ Pos. A Acre accumulator This displays the acres covered in XXX.X format based on the implement width and the ground speed. The display increments as long as the implement status is down. When the implement status is up, the acres value stops accumulating and flashes the value when the acre accumulator caret is selected. Caret 2/ Pos. B Acres per hour This displays the calculated acres covered per hour in XXX.X format based on the implement width and ground speed.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION IMPLEMENT STATUS SWITCH The implement status switch is to be mounted to the tractor for 3-point hitch applications, or to the implement for drawbar applications, to provide an “on/off” signal to the Tractor Performance Monitor (TPM) to start and stop the calculation of the area covered. Figure 2-140 Examples of various mounting arrangements are shown: A. Tractor Equipped with 3-Point Hitch - The implement status switch is attached to the fender and connected to the lift arm.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION NOTE: In order to remote mount the implement status switch on a trailing implement, the tractor will require a remote mount wiring harness kit available from your Buhler Versatile dealer (part #86001101). The wiring harness has a male connector that will plug into the trailer light socket at the rear of the tractor and will connect the remote mount implement status switch with the TPM via the tractor’s wiring harness.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION DRAWBAR ASSEMBLY The drawbar height is fixed and must not be altered. It is designed to produce maximum traction for the wheelbase, tire size, weight distribution and ballast of the tractor. The drawbar length is nonadjustable and the hitch pin distance is 508 mm (20″) from the end of the PTO shaft if the tractor is equipped with the optional PTO.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION It is recommended that the drawbar be pinned in position at all times. On occasion, it may be necessary to allow the drawbar to swing freely for implements that place side loads on the rear of the tractor. The drawbar can be used in a swinging application but may require replacement of the drawbar wear block after extended use. Clevis-type implement hitches should be connected only to the lower plate of the drawbar.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION DRAWBAR WITH AUTOMATIC HITCH PIN 1 The drawbar is equipped with a hitch pin that will automatically drop in place when hitching up to implements. 2 5 To operate, place the hitch pin, 1, in the raised position. Retaining ring, 2, fits in the upper notch, 3, of the clevis to hold the hitch pin in the raise position. Release strap, 4, must be positioned in front of the retaining ring as shown. The drawbar is now prepared to hitch to the implement.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION 38.1 mm (1/2”) Drawbar Pin Kit (Manual Hitch Pin) Figure 2-152 38.1 mm (1/2”) Drawbar Pin Kit (Automatic Hitch Pin) Figure 2-153 38.1 mm (1/2”) Drawbar Pin Kit The 38.1 mm (1-1/2″) drawbar pin conversion kit is available from your Buhler Versatile dealer as part #86027940 (Manual) and #86030679 (Automatic). This kit allows the existing drawbar pin to be replaced with a 38.1 mm (1-1/2″) diameter pin to fit implements with 38.1 mm (1-1/2″) tongue holes.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION DRAWBAR LOADING The maximum recommended weight that can be carried on the drawbar is as follows: Drawbar Position 508 mm (20″) Max. Vertical Load 2700 kg (6000 lbs.) IMPORTANT: Loads on the drawbar increase greatly when traveling in rough conditions. Reduce speed to reduce the possibility of damage to the tractor or implement. The vertical load on the drawbar must be considered as ballast and added to the weight of the tractor.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION IMPLEMENT TRANSPORT Use the following precautions when attaching and towing implements with the tractor: Hook equipment to the drawbar only. Be sure that the drawbar is locked in position with the side wear blocks to keep it from swinging side to side.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION PTO OPERATION PTO Requirements CAUTION: BE SURE ALL SHIELDS AND GUARDS ARE IN PLACE BEFORE OPERATING THE PTO. CAUTION: USE THE ARTICULATION LOCK FOR STATIONARY PTO APPLICATIONS OR TRACTOR SERVICING. IMPORTANT: Excessive clutch slippage can cause premature clutch failure. Do not attempt to unplug a jammed implement by repeatedly engaging and disengaging the PTO clutch. A PTO is a factory- or dealer-installed option.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION 4. Be sure that the PTO drive shaft halves have adequate overlap and will not separate when turning. Pull drive halves apart until fully extended, just before they come completely apart. This is dimension A. From dimension A, subtract 152.4mm (6″), establishing dimension B. IMPORTANT: Never operate equipment with the driveline extended past dimension B. Push drive halves together as far as possible. This is dimension C. Add 25.4mm (1″) to dimension C to establish dimension D.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION 3. Start the tractor with the transmission in neutral and the PTO switch, 1, in the off (clutch disengaged) position. 4. With the PTO clutch disengaged, raise and lower the implement to ensure proper clearance exists between the tractor and implement. Be sure the implement is free of obstructions.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION 5. With the engine at 1000 RPM, engage the PTO. It is activated by a two-motion switch, 1, located on the right console. To engage the clutch, push down on the center button, 1, and lift up on the outer knob, 2. An indicator lamp will light on the warning light bar. The PTO has built-in modulation to provide a smooth transition during start-up of the PTO clutch. NOTE: The PTO will not engage if engine speed is greater than 1400 RPM.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION 9. The PTO can be shut off at any time by simply pressing the PTO knob, 1, downward. If the engine is shut off with the PTO switch in the “ON” position, the tractor will not start until the PTO switch is placed in the off position. 1 IMPORTANT: When using implements with high momentum, such as combines and forage harvesters, brake the speed of the implement by lowering the engine speed before disengaging the PTO clutch. This will increase the PTO brake life.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION HYDRAULIC SYSTEM OPERATION HYDRAULIC SYSTEM The tractor is equipped with a specially designed hydraulic system that consists of a hydraulic reservoir, a load-sensing variable-flow hydraulic pump, an implement valve assembly with flow control capability, quick couplers, a filter and oil coolers as standard equipment. Optional equipment available for the hydraulic system include a 3-point hitch and a 1.9mm (3/4″)coupler kit for high flow requirements.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION Figure 2-163 2-125
SECTION 2 - OPERATION REMOTE CONTROL OPERATION 3 Four remote hydraulic control levers are located on the right console. These are color-coded to match the quick couplers at the rear of the tractor. The colors should be (from left to right), blue, 1; green, 2; tan, 3; and gray, 4. 4 2 1 Figure 2-164 The levers have four positions: neutral, 1; extend (or raise), 2; retract (or lower), 3; and float, 4, as indicated by the decals.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION For the retract position, the lever, 1, should be moved away from the operator one position. An adjustable pressure detent will hold the control lever in this position until the cylinder reaches the end of its travel, then release to the neutral position. To prevent over-travel into the float position, the lockout lever can be moved to the first (center) position.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION The second position, 1, prevents the control lever from entering the float position. 1 Figure 2-170 The final position, 1, has two functions. It will lock the lever into the neutral position to prevent accidental actuation of the lever. If the lockout lever is moved to this position while the control lever is in the retract position, the control lever is limited to travel between the float and retract positions. This position can be used for continuous flow applications.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION The blue, green and tan in cab flow control knobs are in the right rear corner of the cab and function identically to the grey flow control. Figure 2-173 PRESSURE RELEASE DETENT ADJUSTMENT The detent adjustment screw, 1, located on the rear of the valve, may be adjusted to vary the system pressure required to return each lever to the neutral position. To adjust, loosen the jam nut and rotate the screw clockwise to increase the release detent pressure.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION QUICK COUPLERS Each remote valve section has a set of hydraulic quick couplers, 1, located at the rear of the tractor. These are self-sealing, leverless couplers that require no tools for connecting and disconnecting hoses. These couplers also permit hoses to be pulled from the coupler if an implement should become disconnected from the tractor. The upper couplers are the “retract/lower” couplers and the lower couplers are the “extend/raise” couplers.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION When using a double-acting cylinder, connect the feed hose from the cylinder to the bottom coupler and the return hose to the top coupler. To extend a double-acting cylinder, pull the remote lever rearward to position 2. To retract the cylinder, push the lever forward to position 3. The cylinder can be put into the float position by pushing the remote lever full forward in position 4. When using a single-acting cylinder, connect the supply line to the lower coupler.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION BLEEDING REMOTE CYLINDERS When connecting a cylinder with trapped air (i.e., a new cylinder, one that has been out of service, or one that has had the hoses disconnected), it will be necessary to bleed the cylinder to remove the air. With the hoses connected to the remote control valve couplers at the rear of the tractor, position the cylinder with the hose end uppermost and extend and retract the cylinder seven or eight times using the remote control valve operating lever.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION Use the flow control to regulate the motor speed. This will ensure that the hydraulic system will supply only the oil required by the motor. This will allow higher oil flow reserve for other valve sections and their oil circuits. NOTE: Hydraulic motors that are equipped with (1/2″) supply and return hoses, and require less than 10 GPM, can be hooked up directly to the gray couplers. Hydraulic motors that have (3/4″) supply and return hoses, and require greater than 37.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION HYDRAULIC MOTOR APPLICATIONS The hydraulic system is a load sensing, pressure and flow compensating system. Pressure and flow are regulated by a load sensing line from the implement valve. For proper and efficient use of the system, low volume open center hydraulic motors or closed center system motors with restricting orifices removed and bypass valve closed should be used.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION OPTIONAL HYDRAULIC EQUIPMENT 19 mm (3/4″) Coupler Kit P/N 86010513 This kit will allow hydraulic motors that require 19 mm (3/4″) supply and return hoses and couplers, 1, to be hooked to the tractor and operated using the gray remote control circuit. 1 The kit also contains a case drain line, 2, for the motor if required in the application. The case drain line hooks into the existing “zero return” line on the right-hand side of the implement valve.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION 3-POINT HITCH CONTROLS There are two control switches and two rotary control knobs located on the right console of the cab, and a flow control adjustment on the 3-point hitch electrohydraulic valve that controls the 3-point hitch. The function of these controls is as follows: Automatic Raise/Lower Switch Switch, 1, controls the 3-point hitch when the system is in the automatic mode. Pressing the switch will put the system into the automatic mode from the manual mode.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION Manual Raise/Lower Switch Switch, 1, controls the 3-point hitch system when it is in the manual mode. Anytime the manual raise/lower switch is depressed, the system is put into the manual mode and the automated mode is overridden. When the system is in the manual mode, the operator can control the height of the hitch to any desired position. 1 Pressing the top of the switch will cause the hitch to raise, and depressing the bottom of the switch will lower the hitch.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION Rotary Lowering Rate Control Knob Knob, 1, is used to set the rate at which the implement will drop to the ground. Turn the knob clockwise to increase the lowering rate and counterclockwise to decrease the lowering rate. 1 NOTE: Each time an implement is changed on the tractor, the lowering rate must be reset for that particular implement. The control operates in the manual and automatic mode with the exception of the automatic float mode.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION HITCH ADJUSTMENTS Lower Links When the lift links are adjusted halfway, the lower link hitch point, 1, should be 200 mm - 250 mm (8″ - 10″) from the ground when the lift cylinders are fully retracted. Be sure that the implement is level on the right and left sides of the hitch by adjusting the lift link length.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION Place the upper link in the appropriate hitching point on the upper link bracket. The top hole, 1, is for Category III or IV implements. The bottom hole, 2, is for Category III implements only. 1 2 Figure 2-193 To store the upper link, remove the two small hairpin clips, 1, that attach the storage bracket, 2, to the upper link bracket, and pull the bracket away from the tractor. Swing the upper link upward and reinstall the bracket and clips.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION Float (Mechanical) To put the lift links into mechanical float position, remove the pin, 1, securing the lower link to the hole on the lift link. Reconnect the lower link to the lift link using the slot on the lift link. Reverse this procedure to convert to non-float position. 1 When in this position, the hitch will float approximately 76mm (3″) when fully lowered.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION When the sway block, 1, is in the non-sway position, it is rotated 90° so that the narrow portion of the block is turned away from the lower link and the block is of equal thickness from top to bottom. 1 Figure 2-199 To convert the block from the sway to the non-sway position, or vice versa, loosen and remove the two attaching bolts, 1, from inside the drawbar cage. Rotate the block to the desired position, and reinstall the attaching bolts. Torque the bolts to 270 N⋅m . (200 ft.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION Category Conversion The hitch is shipped in the Category IV Narrow position. To convert the hitch to the Category III position (implement side), proceed as follows: 1 Remove the pin, 1, that attaches the lift link to the lower link by removing the klick pin and washer from inside the lower link. Figure 2-201 Remove the lower links, 1, by removing the locking plate bolt, 2, and locking plate, 3. Remove the lower link attaching pin, 4, and bushing.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION Turn the upper lift link end over end and mount it to the bottom hole in the upper link bracket. NOTE: Turn end over end means that the hitch point of the link becomes the link point and vice versa. Figure 2-204 Put the Category III bushings that are stored on the drawbar cage storage pin into the ball swivels, 1, at the upper and lower link hitch points.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION Quick Hitch Installation (Optional - Category III/IVN) CAUTION: BE SURE NO ONE IS BETWEEN THE IMPLEMENT AND TRACTOR WHEN BACKING UP. An optional quick hitch is available to attach to the Category III/IVN 3-point hitch that allows quick attachment of implements to the tractor. To use the quick hitch, proceed as follows: The 3-point hitch can be set for Category III or Category IVN with the quick hitch.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION IMPLEMENT CONNECTION With the levers, 1, horizontal and the safety pins, 2, in the storage position, back the tractor up to the implement. Using the manual raise/lower switch, couple the quick hitch to the implement. 1 2 Figure 2-209 When the lower links are seated properly, insert the safety pins, 1, to lock the spring-loaded latches in place. 1 WARNING: WHENEVER AN IMPLEMENT IS ATTACHED TO THE QUICK HITCH, USE THE SAFETY PINS.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION FEEDBACK POTENTIOMETER On occasion, the feedback potentiometer, located on the right hand side of the rockshaft, may need to be adjusted. This will ensure that the lift cylinders do not overextend or retract too far and place the hydraulic system in high pressure standby during full raise or lower modes of operation while in the automatic mode. To adjust the potentiometer, use the following procedure: 1. Park the tractor on level ground.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION 9. If the measurement is not within specs, loosen the feedback potentiometer cover screws, 1. 10. Adjust the potentiometer by rotating the potentiometer cover plate tab, 2, CW to raise the hitch and CCW to lower the three-point hitch. 11. Tighten the adjustment screws and repeat the measuring procedures as detailed in steps 2 through 8. 12. A final quick check for the proper adjustment is to lift the three-point hitch in the automatic mode.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION IMPLEMENT HOOK-UP 3-Point Hitch Implements IMPORTANT: Before hitching implements to the 3-point hitch, be sure that the implement is compatible with the tractor hitch. IMPORTANT: The hitch pins must fit snugly into the connection points. If loose, the implement and tractor have different hitch dimensions. Verify the correct hitch category. 4. Level the implement. 5. Install sway blocks and shims as required.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION 3-POINT HITCH OPERATION NOTE: See “3-Point Hitch Controls” earlier in this section for an explanation of the function of the controls. WARNING: DO NOT SET THE ROTARY DEPTH CONTROL KNOB TO THE FLOAT POSITION WHEN IN THE AUTOMATIC MODE UNLESS THE IMPLEMENT WEIGHT IS ON THE GROUND. IF THE KNOB IS SET IN THE FLOAT POSITION WITH THE IMPLEMENT RAISED, IT WILL DROP QUICKLY, POSSIBLY CAUSING DAMAGE. 1. Start the tractor. The hitch will be in the manual mode. 2.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION 5. Raise the hitch to the full up position using the manual raise/lower switch. 6. Set the rotary depth control knob to 10 (fully raised position). 7. Press the auto raise/lower switch, 1, to place the hitch in the automatic mode. The light will come on to indicate automatic mode operation. Start the tractor and implement down through the field and use the rotary depth control knob to control the height of the implement.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION 10. The hitch can be put into the float mode any time the system is in the automatic mode. Rotate the rotary depth control knob to the “F” position until it detents. The hitch will now follow the ground contour. Pressing the top of the auto raise/lower switch will cause the hitch to fully raise, and pressing the bottom of the switch will return the hitch to the float position. WEIGHT IS ON THE GROUND.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION TIRES AND ARTICULATION BLOCKS PROPER TIRE SELECTION Factors Determining Best Tire Performance Selecting the proper size and type of tires is important in achieving maximum tractor efficiency. Various sizes and types of tires are available for your tractor. Refer to Section 1 of this manual for approved tire sizes by tractor model number. If a specific size of tire or tire configuration is not listed under a particular model, do not attempt to install that size tire.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION ARTICULATION BLOCKS Each individual tire size requires a specific articulation block to be used with that tire size. Refer to “Tire Configurations” in Section 1 for the maximum articulation angle allowed based on tire selection. There are four possible articulation angles used on the tractors. They are 42°, 38°, 33°, 31°. The following information shows what each articulation block configuration looks like.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION 38° - To limit the articulation angle to 38°, use the articulation blocks with the thin portion toward the inside. NOTE: Any tractor that is equipped with a PTO option requires a 38° articulation block kit be installed on it. If the tire size of the tractor requires a 33° or 31° articulation kit, use those kits instead of the 38° kit for a PTO option. Figure 2-218 33° - To limit the articulation angle to 33°, use the articulation blocks with the thick portion to the inside.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION BALLASTING Basic Rules of Thumb for Ballasting 1. When using fluid, put equal amounts in each tire on a given axle. 2. Ballast tractors to a minimum amount as a starting point. 3. For light-duty application, weight distribution front to rear is not as important as in heavier draft applications. 4. At maximum operating weight, the correct recommended weight distribution of 55/45 (front/rear) for drawbar applications and 65/35 (front/rear) for 3-point hitch applications is essential. 5.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION Every tire contact on every surface will produce some amount of wheel slip. If there were no wheel slip, significant drivetrain wear would be present and damage to the tractor may occur. Ballasting the tractor and operating with the proper size and inflated tires will maintain wheel slip at a manageable level (8%-15%).
SECTION 2 - OPERATION Rolling Resistance The greatest loss of engine power occurs in the area of traction factors such as rolling resistance and wheel slippage. Those losses will occur in any and every practical traction situation. Therefore, choosing the right amount of weight is the first step. Too little weight permits excessive wheel slippage while too much weight increases soil compaction and rolling resistance.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION CALCULATION OF BALLAST The following information is provided as a guide for proper ballasting: Shipping Weight and Fore/Aft Ratio Generally the tractor will come from the factory with an approximate weight distribution of 65% 67% on the front axle and 33% - 35% on the rear axle. Do not assume that every tractor will come from the factory with this weight distribution. Various options and wheel packages will significantly change the weight of the tractor.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION Additional Ballast Requirements Total ballast to be added can now be calculated by subtracting the shipping weight of the tractor, from the recommended operating weight, determined from the chart. Example: Recommended Operating Weight of 2335 (335 HP) 14,440 kg (31,825 lbs.) Shipping Weight of 2335 11,231 kg (24,760 lbs.) Total Ballast to Be Added 3,209 kg (7,065 lbs.) The figure of 3,209 kg (7,065 lbs.) is the total amount of ballast to be added to the tractor to get it to 43.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION Weight on Buhler Versatile 4WD tractors is to be added in the form of liquid ballast to the tires or by using the front or rear weight kits available. Once the weight per axle of additional ballast is determined, the preferred method of adding this weight is to use as much dry weight (i.e., front and rear weight kits) before liquid ballast is added to the tires. This will allow ballast to be easily removed or installed, depending on varying needs.
SECTION 3 - LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE EVERY 500 HOURS Slide the boot toward the front of the tractor on the tube. Look at the inlet, 1, of the precleaner, and remove any debris accumulated in this area. 1 After the precleaner is cleaned, reinstall the boot and tighten the hose clamps securely.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION The rear weight kit, 1, has thirty-three 30 kg (67-lb.), suitcase-style weights and, along with its brackets and hardware, weighs approximately 1100 kg (2,400 lbs.). NOTE: The rear weight kit cannot be installed on units that have a PTO option or a 3-point hitch option. The 3-point hitch or PTO is now considered part of the rear axle ballast, and the remaining additional weight required can be installed as liquid weight in the tires.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION Pry upward on the fifth weight (from the left), 1, and remove it from the tractor. 1 Figure 2-225 Starting with the sixth weight from the left, remove six additional weights from the package. Slide the four left hand weights, 1, to the right (on the bracket) and remove the cast retaining block, 2, from the left hand weights. 2 1 Figure 2-226 Remove all remaining weights from the bracket by sliding them to the left and lifting off of the bracket.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION Additional rear weight can be added by installing an auxiliary rear weight kit, 1. This kit has twenty-four 30 kg (67-lb.) suitcase-style weights and, along with its brackets and hardware, weighs approximately 738 kg (1628 lbs.). This auxiliary rear weight kit is in addition to, and not part of, the rear weight that fastens to the rear of the tractor.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION TOOLBOX/STORAGE TRAY Toolbox The toolbox is located on the right front frame on tractors equipped with a PTO, rear weight kit, or 3-point hitch. If the tractor does not have any of these options, the toolbox will be mounted on the rear frame, directly above the drawbar. The toolbox has a hole drilled through the lid to accommodate a lock. Figure 2-230 Storage Tray A storage tray is located under the operator’s seat and can be pulled out to store miscellaneous articles.
SECTION 2 - OPERATION BREAK-IN PERIODS BREAK-IN PERIOD The first 50 hours of operation are the most critical for insuring long and dependable tractor life. Do the following: 1. Review the tractor Predelivery Checklist contained in the assembly manual with your dealer. Be sure all applicable items on the sheet have been checked. 2. Check all fluid levels and be sure all systems are filled with the correct fluids for your operating conditions. 3.
SECTION 3 LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE GENERAL INFORMATION INTRODUCTION This section gives full details of the service procedures necessary to maintain your tractor at peak efficiency. The Lubrication and Maintenance Chart provides a ready reference to these requirements. Each operation is numbered for easy reference. In addition to the regular maintenance operations listed, check the following items every 10 hours or daily during the first 50 hours of operation: D Wheel hardware for tightness.
SECTION 3 - LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE FUELING THE TRACTOR CAUTION: WHEN HANDLING DIESEL FUEL, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING: DO NOT SMOKE AROUND DIESEL FUEL. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD GASOLINE, ALCOHOL, GASOHOL OR DIESELHOL (A MIXTURE OF DIESEL FUEL AND ALCOHOL) BE ADDED TO DIESEL FUEL BECAUSE OF INCREASED FIRE OR EXPLOSION RISKS. IN A CLOSED CONTAINER, SUCH AS A FUEL TANK, THEY ARE MORE EXPLOSIVE THAN PURE GASOLINE. DO NOT USE THESE BLENDS.
SECTION 3 - LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE Fuel Requirements The quality of fuel used is an important factor for dependable performance and satisfactory engine life. Fuels must be clean, well-refined, and noncorrosive to fuel system parts. Be sure to use fuel of a known quality from a reputable supplier. To obtain optimum combustion and minimum engine wear, the fuel selected for use should conform to the application and property requirements outlined in the following “Diesel Fuel Selection Chart.
SECTION 3 - LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE ADDING DIESEL FUEL 1 Fuel can be added to either tank. The two tanks are connected via a crossover tube. Total usable capacity of the two tanks is 870L (230 U.S. gallons). When filling the tanks, make sure the vent, 1, located at the rear of the cab, behind the washer fluid reservoir, is unobstructed. CAUTION: DO NOT OVER FILL THE TANKS TO CAPACITY. EITHER FILL TO BOTTOM OF FILLER NECK OR USE THE ELECTRONIC INSTRUMENT CONTROL SYSTEM TO AID IN REFUELING.
SECTION 3 - LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE REMOVING SHIELDING TO GAIN ACCESS TO COMPONENTS FOR INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE ENGINE ACCESS In order to perform service, inspection and lubrication operations to the tractor, it may be necessary to open or remove various panels and shields. IMPORTANT: After performing work on the tractor, install all safety shields before operating the tractor. OPENING THE HOOD PANELS To provide easy access to the engine, each hood side panel swings open vertically.
SECTION 3 - LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE BATTERY ACCESS The batteries are located on top of the right side fuel tank. Release the latch and lift the battery cover. It is supported by a gas spring. Make sure the cover is down and latched when operating the tractor. Figure 3-5 REMOTE VALVE ACCESS 1 The remote valve, located on the rear frame, is protected by a rear deck plate, which also provides a step for access to the cab filter.
SECTION 3 - LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE BLANK PAGE 3-7
SECTION 3 - LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE EVERY 10 HOURS OR DAILY OPERATION 1 Clean the Front Grille, Hydraulic Coolers, Transmission Cooler, Air-Conditioning Condenser, Radiator and Fuel Cooler. Access to the components can be gained by unlatching the front grille screen at the front of the tractor. Swing the grille screen out.
SECTION 3 - LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE EVERY 10 HOURS OR DAILY If the engine coolant is low, add coolant through the radiator cap, 1, at the top of the hood. 1 CAUTION: THE COOLING SYSTEM OPERATES UNDER PRESSURE WHICH IS CONTROLLED BY THE RADIATOR CAP. IT IS DANGEROUS TO REMOVE THE CAP WHILE THE SYSTEM IS HOT. ALWAYS TURN THE CAP SLOWLY TO THE FIRST STOP AND ALLOW THE PRESSURE TO ESCAPE BEFORE REMOVING THE CAP ENTIRELY. WEAR GLOVES WHEN REMOVING THE CAP.
SECTION 3 - LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE EVERY 10 HOURS OR DAILY Antifreeze must be used in any climate for both freeze and boiling point protection. Cummins Engine Company, Inc. recommends a 50% concentration level, 40% - 60% range of ethylene glycol or propylene glycol in most climates. Antifreeze at 68% concentration provides the maximum freeze protection and must never be exceeded under any condition. Antifreeze protection decreases above 68%.
SECTION 3 - LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE EVERY 10 HOURS OR DAILY OPERATION 3 Check the Fan Belt Tension The QSM11 and N14 engines use a spring-loaded idler, 1, (N14 illustrated) to keep a constant tension on the fan belt. No adjustment is required. If the belt is not tight, check the pivot of the spring-loaded idler for binding. If it is free, the belt is probably worn out and requires replacement.
SECTION 3 - LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE EVERY 10 HOURS OR DAILY OPERATION 4 Check the Engine Water Pump Drive Belt Tension (2360 and 2425 Only) Use a belt tension gauge to check and/or adjust belts, or use firm thumb pressure and measure the deflection method. With firm thumb pressure, a properly adjusted belt should deflect 0.8 mm (1/32″) for each 25 mm (1”) of span between pulleys.
SECTION 3 - LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE EVERY 10 HOURS OR DAILY OPERATION 5 Check Air-Conditioner Compressor Belt Tension Use a belt tension gauge to check and/or adjust belts, or use the firm thumb pressure and deflection method. With firm thumb pressure a properly adjusted belt should deflect 0.8 mm (1/32″) for each 25 mm (1”) of span between pulleys.
SECTION 3 - LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE EVERY 10 HOURS OR DAILY 2360 and 2425 (N14) Engine 3 Loosen the compressor pivot bolt located behind the compressor next to the engine block. Loosen the adjuster clamp bolt, 1, and adjustment locknut, 2. Tighten the adjuster bolt, 3, to increase belt tension. Tighten the adjuster clamp bolt, 1, locknut, 2, and pivot bolt after the correct belt tension is obtained. Recheck the belt tension once all hardware is tightened.
SECTION 3 - LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE EVERY 10 HOURS OR DAILY OPERATION 6 2 Check the Alternator Drive Belt Tension 3 2290, 2335, 2375 QSM11Engine The QSM11 engines use a spring-loaded idler, (N14 illustrated) to keep a constant tension on the alternator belt. This is a shared drive using the fan belt. See operation 3, for details on checking tension. 2360, 2425 (N14) Engine Use a belt tension gauge to check and/or adjust belts, or use the firm thumb pressure and deflection method.
SECTION 3 - LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE EVERY 10 HOURS OR DAILY OPERATION 7 Check the Engine Oil Level Check the engine oil level using the dipstick located on the right side of the engine.
