ARTICULATION BLOCKS
Each individual tire size requires a specific
articulation block to be used with that tire size.
Refer to “Tire Configurations” in Section 1 for the
maximum articulation angle allowed based on
tire selection.
There are four possible articulation angles used
on the tractors. They are 42°, 38°, 33°, 31°. The
following information shows what each
articulation block configuration looks like. The
articulation blocks are located on the front frame
adjacent to each fuel tank.
IMPORTANT: Install the proper articulation
blocks on the tractor before the dual or triple
wheels are installed on the unit to prevent any
accidental damage from occurring.
NOTE: Any tractor that is equipped with a
PTO option requires a 38° articulation block
kit be installed on it. If the tire size of the
tractor requires a 33° or 31° articulation kit,
use those kits instead of the 38° kit for a PTO
option.
WARNING: IMPROPER ASSEMBLY OF THE
ARTICULATION BLOCKS CAN CAUSE THE
TRACTOR WHEELS TO CONTACT THE FUEL
TANK WHEN TURNING, LIMITING TURNING
ABILITY AND CONTROL OF THE TRACTOR.
42° - The maximum turning angle allowed by the
steering cylinders is 42°. If your tractor tire size
allows an angle of 42°, no articulation blocks are
required.
