Kubota L47TL, M62TL Tractor Operators Manual

Kubota L47TL, M62TL Tractor
Before operating the tractor on the road or before applying the parking brake, be sure to interlock the right and left pedals as illustrated below. Use individual brakes to assist in making sharp turns at slow speeds (Field Operation Only). Disengage the brake pedal lock and depress only one brake pedal. Be sure brake pedals have equal adjustment when using locked together.

HST Response Control
HST response control is used to set the start-up response when you step on the speed control pedal and the engine brake effect when you release the pedal. Set the HST response control toward "FAST", and the response level gets quicker. Set it toward "SLOW" to havea slower response level. When you move the tractor forward and backward repeatedly, during loader operations, for example, set the HST response control toward "FAST". It helps improve the working efficiency. When using "STALL GUARD" with PTO powered implements, the tractor automatically adjust for optimum response.
