TO THE OWNER:
The warranty coverage that is extended to your tractor is explained in the Warrantyand Limitation of Liability form.
Your dealer will provide you with a copy of the warranty and retain a copy which y ou have signed. After you read
the warranty, ask your dealer to explain any points that you may not understand.
This tractor was designed to power and propel itself. It is intended for use in normal and customary agricultural
applications.
Do not modify or alter or permit anyone else to modify or alter this tractor or any of its components or any tractor
function without first consulting an authorized Buhler Versatile dealer. If you have any questions regarding tractor
modifications, contact Buhler Versatile Inc., 1260 Clarence Avenue, Winnipeg, MB R3C 4E8
A safety cab incorporating a Roll Over Protection Structure (ROPS) and a seat belt were standard equipment
for the tractor at the time of factory assembly. If the safety cab/ROPS has been modified or removed by the original purchaser, it is recommended that you equip your tractor with a safety cab/ROPS and seat belt. A safety
cab/ROPS is effective in reducing injuries during tractor overturn accidents. Overturning a tractor without a
ROPS can result in serious injury or death. Safety cab/ROPS and seat belts are available for your tractor. If your
tractor is not equipped with a safety cab/ROPS and seat belt, see your Buhler Versatile dealer.
Your safety and the safety of those around you depends upon the care and good judgment you use while operating this equipment. Read the safety precautions carefully.
For a complete list of the delivery service checks performed by your dealer, refer to DELIVERY REPORT in this
manual. The first copy is your record of the service performed and the second copy, which is to be removed from
the manual, is your dealer’s record. MAKE SURE THAT YOU AND THE DEALER SIGN BOTH COPIES.
After you have operated the tractor for 50 hours, take your tractor and this manual to your selling dealer. He w ill
perform the factory recommended 50-hour service. You will be responsible for the cost of lubricants, fluids, filters
and other items replaced as part of normal maintenance. Prior to taking the tractor to your selling dealer for service, it is recommended that you contact them to determine any other charges for which you may be responsible.

pass.
3. Dim the tractor lights when meeting a vehicle
at night. Make sure the lights are adjusted to
prevent blinding the driver of an oncoming
vehicle.
4. Reduce speed before turning or applying the
brakes. Lock the brake pedals together when
travelingatroadspeedsorwhenonthe
highway. Brake both wheels simultaneously
when making an emergency stop.
5. Use extreme caution and avoid hard application of the tractor brakes when towing heavy
loads at road speeds.
6. Any towed vehicle whose total weight
exceeds that of the towing tractor must be
equipped with brakes for safe operation.
7. Never apply the differential lock when
turning. When engaged, the differential lock
will prevent the tractor from turning.
8. Always check overhead clearance, especially when transporting the tractor.Watch where
you are going, especially at row ends, on
roads and around trees and low overhanging
obstacles.
9. Use extreme caution when operating on
steep slopes.
10. 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.
11. If the tractor becomes stuck or the tires are
frozen to the ground, engage a reverse gear
to free the tractor and prevent overturning.
12. Keep the tractor in the same gear when going
downhill as would be used when going uphill.
Do not coast or freewheel down hills.

SECTION 0 -- SAFETY
OPERATING THE TRACTOR
1. Apply the parking brake, place the PTO
control in the “OFF” position, the lift control
lever in the down position, the remote control
valve levers in the neutral position and the
transmission lever in neutral before starting
the tractor.
2. Do not start the engine or operate controls
(other than the external hydraulic lift
switches) while standing beside the tractor.
Always sit in the tractor seat when starting
the engine or operating the controls.
3. Do not bypass the transmission neutral start
switch. Consult your authorized dealer if
your neutral start controls malfunction. Use
jumper cables only in the recommended
manner. Improper use can result in a tractor
runaway.
4. Avoid accidental contact with the gear shift
lever while the engine is running. Unexpected tractor movement can result from
such contact.
5. Do not get off the tractor while it is in motion.
6. Shut off the engine and PTO and apply the
parking brake before getting off the tractor.
7. Do not park the tractor on a steep incline.
8. Do not operate the tractor engine in an
enclosed building w ithout 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. Follow the chemical manufacturers
directions regarding protection from dangerous chemicals.
10. Always wear a protective mask when working
with toxic spray chemicals. Follow the
directions on the chemical container.
11. If the power steering or engine ceases to
operate, stop the tractor immediately as the
tractor will be more difficult to control.
13. Tighten all connections before starting the
engine or pressurizing lines.
14. Pull only from the swinging drawbar. Use
only a drawbar pin that locks in place. Pulling
from the tractor rear axle or any point above

use with the tractor, do not overload the
tractor and are operated and maintained in
accordance with the instructions issued by
the equipment or accessory manufacturer.
19. Remember that your tractor, if abused or
incorrectly used, can be dangerous and
become a hazard both to the operator and to
bystanders. Do not overload or operate with
attached equipment which is unsafe, not
designed for the particular task or is poorly
maintained.
20. The cab is designed to provide the minimum
noise level at the operator’s ears and, in fact,
meets or exceeds applicable standards in
this respect. However,noise (sound pressure
level) in the workplace can exceed 86dB(A)
when working between buildings or in
confined spaces, when the cab windows are
open. Therefore, it is recommended that the
operators wear suitable ear protectors when
operating in high noise level conditions.
12. Stop the engine and relieve pressure before
connecting or disconnecting hydraulic,
steering or fuel lines.

SECTION 0 -- SAFETY
DIESEL FUEL
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.
2. Ignition switch to OFF position.
3. Never remove the fuel cap or refuel with the
engine running. Allow the tractor to cool off
before fueling.
4. Do not smoke while refuelling the tractor or
when standing near fuel. Keep any type of
open flame away.
5. Use the proper fuel transfer hose and nozzle.
Make sure the nozzle and hose are grounded
to dissipate static electric charges.
6. When refueling, make sure the nozzle is in
contact with the filler neck of the tractor fuel
tank before fuel starts to flow and during the
entire time fuel is flowing.
7. Maintain control of the fuel filler pipe nozzle
when filling the tank.
8. Do not fill the fuel tank to capacity. Allow
room for expansion.
9. Wipe up spilled fuel immediately.
10. Always tighten the fuel tank cap securely.
12. Keep equipment clean and properly maintained.
13. Do not drive equipment near open fires.
14. Never use fuel for cleaning purposes.
15. Arrange fuel purchases so that summer
grade fuels are not held over and used in the
winter.
16. Never operate electrical or electronic equipment (such as cell phones) while around fuel
or while refueling.
SAFETY CAB
Your tractor is equipped with a safety cab which
must be maintained in a serviceable condition.
Be careful when driving t hrough doorways or
working in confined spaces with low headroom.
1. Do not modify, drill, weld or alter the safety
cab in any way. Doing so could render you
liable to legal prosecution in some countries.
2. Never attempt to straighten or weld any part
of the main frame or retaining brackets which
have suffered damage. By doing so you may
weaken the structure and endanger your
safety. Replace all damaged parts.
3. Do not secure any parts on the main frame or
attach your safety cab with other than the
special high tensile bolts and nuts specified.
4. Never attach chains or ropes to the cab or
main frame for pulling purposes.
11. If the original fuel tank cap is lost, replace it
with a genuine replacement cap. A non-approved cap may not be safe.
5. Never take unnecessary risks even though
your safety cab affords you the maximum
protection possible.

1. Check the torque of the cab/ROPS mounting
bolts. Refer to “Operation 41” in the “Lubrication
and Maintenance” section.
2. Check the operator’s seat mounting bolts and the
seat belt mounting bolts. Tighten bolts to 54 N·m
(40 ft lbs). Replace any worn or damaged parts.
Damage to the Cab/ROPS
If the tractor has rolled over or the cab/ROPS has
been damaged (such as striking an overhead object
during transport), it must be replaced to provide the
original protection.
After an accident, check for damage to the (1)
cab/ROPS, (2) operator’s seat, (3) seat belt and seat
belt mountings. Before you operate the tractor,
replace all damaged parts.
IMPORTANT: Do not try to weld or straighten the
cab/rops.
WARNING
Never attach chains, ropes or cables to the
cab/ROPS for pulling purposes; this will cause
the tractor to tip backwards. Always pull from the
tractor drawbar. Be careful when driving through
door openings or under low overhead objects.
Make sure there is sufficient overhead clearance
for the cab/ROPS.
If the cab/ROPS is removed or replaced, make
certain that the proper hardware is used and the
recommended torque values are applied to the
attaching bolts.
