Here's something...new

Now, with hydrostatic tractors with multiple ranges, it is easy -- just put it in neutral.

jas67,

Is that what your manual says. Towing a hydrostatic transmission that the Power-Tracs use requires one to turn a screw to open the relief valves so the fluid from the wheel motors now acting as a pump, can recirculate through the pump and wheel motors,,and only for short distances. The hydro system we use is closed loop for the drive circuit. I know my Wheel Horse mower is jammed up because of someone pushing it.

Lift the back wheels off the ground with your three point hitch and go slowly.

I tried doing that but couldn't find a safe mthod.

That is what I did with my G1800.

JJ,

The manual for the G1800 says to not tow it at all. I don't remember seeing anything about towing in the B7100 manual, but I know it rolls real easily by hand when in neutral.

Are the Power-trac's hydrostatic, or hydraulic drive? I thought they had a hydraulic motor per wheel?

Yes, the Power-Trac's are all hydraulic , variable speed hyd pump and a wheel moter on each wheel. I think in general, if it's not gear, then it's hydraulic or electric.

I only push my L118 deere out of the shed to start it and push the 2210 to get closer or further from the implement. I have NEVER used the hydro pedle on my dads 3720 when on the ground since the seat will detect your not there and shut off the engine. And it isnt safe.

You can unhook the seat thingy.

Be careful farmboy talking like that will get the safety police on you There is already a post it parts/repairs about cutting the ROPS and welding hinges on it. They have not found it yet But i'm sure they will shortly. Have fun and be safe.
