Using the
Weight-Transfer/Traction
Assistance
A variable hydraulic weight transfer system is provided for
improving tire grip with the grass surface - traction assistance.
Hydraulic pressure in the cutting units lift system provides a
lifting force which reduces the cutting units' weight on the
ground and transfers the weight as a downward force onto the
tires of the machine. This action is known as weight transfer.
