can a ct235 be put in to neutral so we can drag in behind a truck?

My friend needs help with his tractor. A chipmunk crawled into his tractor and the dogs went after it. Needless to say they destroyed the wiring harness. Its now 15 degrees and we are not fixing it out side. Its sitting about 75' from the shop. Will it hurt it to pull it will the truck?

You should be fine. Make sure you are in neutral where the tractor can roll (and not in 4 wheel drive) and a short tow going pretty slow will work. Also, have someone on the tractor helping to steer and push in the clutch pedal while moving.

Good luck.

For short distances, say 1/4 mile, just put it in neutral and drive slow. I am assuming it is an HST. IF it is gear drive, just put in neutral and go as far as you like, it isn't going to hurt a thing.

Yes it is hydrostatic drive

Putting speed range selector in neutral will let you pull it without turning the hydrostatic pump. Put it in neutral and tow it.

I would consult the owner's manual to make sure. My NH TC40DA HST can safely be towed by placing the lever in neutral, not to exceed 12 mph. The Boomer 8N CVT transmission cannot be towed any distance at all without using the transmission disconnect or damage occurs. You access the transmission disconnect shaft by crawling under it and turning a lever with a socket.
