Overview

This is a short in-cab orientation to the John Deere 4044M controls, not a field demo or buying guide. It walks through engaging four-wheel drive and the differential lock, loader lever position, PTO switch and light, three-point hitch lever, and the start-up sequence (brake, neutral, key to first click, wait for lights). Useful for someone who just wants to know where the controls are before sitting in one.
