Hello,

I just purchased a 1070 with 4wd and can't seem to figure out how to engage the 4wd. I've found the lever which I think controls this but up or down seems to make no difference. The guy who sold me the tractor is supposed to be getting me a manual but until then could somebody point me in the right direction? Do I need to pull up, or push down or maybe twist the lever? Or maybe the tractor needs to be in a certain gear or neutral? Its been raining like mad here and the turf tires on this beast are slicker than a handful of snot. On the upside I've learned to push her out of a rut pretty well with the FEL.

Thanks in advance

Simply pull it up while you are moving to engage the four wheel drive. By the way, the rear differential lock is also your "friend".
