At what speed does the ride control go on and off?

Explanation:
Ride control is an automatic damping feature that smooths the ride by reducing vertical motion when the machine is moving over rough ground. It’s tied to the machine’s forward speed, turning on as you reach a specific speed and turning off when you slow down below that point. For this model, that threshold is about 3.7 mph, so the system activates around that speed and disengages below it. This setup gives a smoother travel at modest speeds without compromising precise control during slow, load-handling work. The other options don’t match how the system is configured on this machine: too high a speed would let bounce through during typical travel, while too low speeds would cause the system to engage during slow, delicate operations, reducing feel and control.
