road while keeping tracks on a more stable surface or in similar conditions.

Coordinated Plow
Coordinated plowing can be used to turn a tight circle around a jobsite obstacle or in similar conditions.

Move rear steer/center switch to the rear steer position.
2.
Use the rear steer switch to position the tracks as shown above (2).
3.
Slowly move tractor forward.
4.
Plow as normal.
Crab Plow
Crab can be used to plow along edge of jobsite or in similar conditions.
