George have you ever had one of your terramites break down to where you had to pull them back to the shed to work on? I have a TC5 that
hasn't ever died out in the field but I was wondering what the correct procedure is for pulling it without the engine running.
Thanks, Barry
 
I haven't had to tow a terramite, knock on wood.
In the neutral position the transmission is the brake.
I would try pushing on the forward or reverse peddle and see which works best.

Just an idea. Stop terramite on a hill, turn the engine off and see if pushing on the forward pedal doesn't allow it to roll down the hill.

"I would try pushing on the forward or reverse peddle and see which works best."

As I recall, they have a little hydrostatic transmission, if that is TRUE that would be really BAD advice.

IF there is a release on the hydro to allow it to be moved while the engine isn't running moving/towing it SLOWLY for more than a few yards will kill the hydro due to luck of the lube from the charge pump running.
 
Do you have the operators manual? There should be a valve on the transmission that you can turn by hand to allow you to bypass oil to tow the terramite???
 
I have a manual, nothing in it about towing and no levers on transmission.

I would use my other terramite or my Kubota, lift one rear wheel and pull it backwards
 
Thanks for the info and links. I will look over the machine when I'm at the farm next time.
 
I think it would be best to get it on some sort of stone boat /trailer or other device to pull one with the hydrostat if you still want it to work afterwards. To push it with tires skidding for a few seet is one thing dragging it to get to the house from the back forty would be an entirely different thing.
