You get a complete walkthrough of the Selectamatic hydraulic system, from Depth Control and Height Control to operating with external equipment via the 3-Way Valve.

Confirm engine rated speed at 1800 r/min and put the transmission oil on the 50-100 hour change cycle before your next field day. Your tractor is not a guessing game.
