Automatic Controlled Traction
(w/o 4WD)
What is Automatic Controlled Traction?
Automatic Controlled Traction (ACT) is an exclusive feature
of our transmissions that provides improved traction. ACT
applies a preset amount of torque to both rear wheels even
if one starts slipping (a transmission without ACT will lose
traction completely if one rear wheel starts slipping). This
preset torque is just enough to provide additional traction,
and still allow the wheels to turn at different speeds in a tight
turn without damaging the lawn.

What to Expect from Your ACT Tractor
For the most part, while using your tractor you will not
notice ACT working, and you will simply become
accustomed to increased traction an ACT transmission
provides.
Under certain circumstances the ACT system limit can be
exceeded, and one of the rear wheels may slip (for
instance if trying to turn up a hill while accelerating). This
is normal. If you start to lose traction, do not speed up.
Instead, slow to a stop, straighten the steering wheel, and
slowly accelerate. Stopping the tractor allows the
transmission to regain more traction.
Attachment Lift Control Lever
When using the mower deck, lift the deck off the ground
while transporting to and from the job site. DO NOT cut
with the mower in the raised, transport position.
Hydraulic Lift Models: The attachment lift control lever
raises and lowers attachments that utilize the tractor’s
hydraulic lift cylinder. Pushing the lever forward lowers
the attachment while pulling the lever back raises the
attachment.
IMPORTANT NOTE - On models equipped with hydraulic
lift, the attachment lift will not work when the parking
brake is engaged.
Manual Lift Models: The attachment lift control lever
raises and lowers attachments that utilize the tractor’s
manual lift linkage. To lower an attachment: pull the lever
back slightly, depress the release button, and push the
lever forward until it locks in the lowered position. To raise
an attachment: push the lever forward slightly, depress
the release button, then pull the lever back until it locks in
the raised position.
