Gear Shift Modes

The Luxxum offers several gear shift modes:

• Gear match (standard setting): Automatically adapts powershift steps for optimal speed during up- and downshifting.
• Auto FIELD: Automatically shifts only PS-steps within a specific range.
• Auto TRANSPORT: Automatically shifts all gears.
• Manual: Gears are shifted completely manually using +/-.

Automatic Power Shift Function

This function allows selection of FIELD or TRANSPORT automode via the multicontroller.

• Auto FIELD: Only PS-steps in a range are shifted automatically.
• Auto TRANSPORT: All gears are shifted automatically.
• Gear shifting points can be adjusted based on engine speed and load using the hand throttle (5).
• Power Mode: PS-step shifting at higher RPM.
• Mid Power Mode: Between Power and Eco.
• Eco Mode: PS-step shifting at low RPM.

Transmission Programming

Four modes are available for transmission programming:

1. ActiveClutch: Stops the tractor by pressing the brake pedal without using the clutch.
2. Delta (Memory shuttle) PROG: Programs forward/reverse speed by adjusting powershift gears (+3 to -3) relative to the forward powershift gear. Adjust using +/- on the multicontroller.
3. Powershift steps in Auto Field mode: Adjusts the bandwidth of powershift gears for automatic use in the field. Adjust using +/- on the multicontroller.
4. Standard gear: Sets the default gear engaged after starting the engine or when the vehicle comes to a standstill. Adjust main gear using Shift +/-, and PS gear using +/-.

Driving the Tractor

1. Choose Field or Road range.
2. Select driving direction.
3. Release the clutch; the tractor will start in the standard gear.
4. Shift groups 1 to 4 using Shift +/- or PS-steps using +/- on the multicontroller.
5. To stop, use the clutch or the Powerclutch button on the multicontroller.

• Gearmatch is always active after starting; transmission mode can be changed via the multicontroller.

Transmission Features

• Anti-Jack-Knifing: Inhibits automatic gear shifts when the Shuttle FWD button is pressed, ensuring smooth driving on hilly terrain.
• Shuttle reactivity: Adjusts how quickly the tractor shifts from forward to reverse.
  • 1 - High reactivity: For loader work.
  • 2 - Standard reactivity: For transport.
  • 3 - Low reactivity: For field work.

• Automatic engagement: Active suspension engages above 12 km/h.
• Suspension settings: Adjustable to "soft," "normal," and "hard" levels by pressing the button for 3 seconds.
• Manual leveling: Allows manual adjustment of the front axle height.

Constant Engine Speed

Two electronically regulated constant engine speeds can be stored, useful for PTO operations.

1. CES on/off: Activates or deactivates constant engine speed.
2. Adjust CES 1: Set using the hand throttle at idle. Short presses adjust in 10 rpm steps, constant pressing in 100 rpm steps.
3. Change to CES 2: Adjust as with CES 1.
4. Work with CES (CES on): Hand throttle above 1000 rpm.
5. Change between speed 1 and 2.

PTO (Power Take-Off)

  1. Turn on PTO.
  2. Switch on auto PTO.
  3. Drive off and start working.
• Adjustment of On/Off Points:
  1. Press the auto PTO switch for >3 seconds.
  2. Lift/lower rear hitch to desired stop position (e.g., 30% lifting height, "u" = up). Press auto PTO switch briefly.
  3. Lift/lower rear hitch to desired start position (e.g., 65% lifting height, "d" = down). Press auto PTO switch briefly.
  4. Finished ("End").

Mechanical Valves

• Rear remotes: Up to 3 controlled by levers on the side console (raise/neutral/lower/float/lock).
• Front loader joystick: Controls two front remote valves (raise/neutral/lower/float, with detent on float).

  • Right: High sensitivity (many position corrections).
  • Adjust to 1-2 corrections per second (check control light "L").
• Lowering throttle (5): Adjusts lowering speed of the rear hitch.

EFH (Electronic Front Hitch) Panel

Two operation modes:

• Position control: For precise working height of the implement.
  • Turn right to increase position control value.
  • Controls exact position of the front linkage.
• Pressure control: To adjust pressure transmitted to the ground.
  • Turn left to increase pressure control value.
  • Controls lifting pressure applied by the front linkage on the implement.
• Lowering throttle (3).
• Limitation of lifting height (4).

Calibration of Implement Weight

1. Adjust height limiter so the implement is minimally lifted.
2. Press and hold the raise button on the multicontroller.
3. Keep pressed until the red EFH control light flashes.
4. Calibration is complete when flashing stops.

• Automatic Lift: Lifts implement to max. adjusted height when pressing the lift button on the multicontroller.
• Normal Lift: Lifts implement as long as the lift button on the multicontroller is pressed (up to max. adjusted lift height).
• Up/Down: For implement connection.
