GROUND SPEED SELECTION
Mechanical Transmission
Tractor is equipped to provide 8 forward gear speeds
and 8 reverse gear speeds.
FIG. 68: Main gear shift lever, 1, provides 4 gear selec-
tions. These gear selections are compounded by range
gear shift lever, 2. The range shift lever provides 2 ma-
jor changes in ground speed. Gear shift lever provides
smaller ground speed changes.
FIG. 69: Depress clutch pedal and position shift levers
in desired positions. Depress brake pedals to release
parking brake lock and then slowly release clutch pedal.
Should another transmission gear be desired:
• Range Shift - Depress the clutch pedal and shift
gears after bringing the tractor to a complete stop.
• Gear shift - Depress clutch and brake pedals stopping
the tractor. Select desired range lever position and
continue with operation.
IMPORTANT: Depress clutch and stop tractor before
shifting range gear shift lever.
FIG. 70: Forward / reverse shuttle lever, 3, provides
constant changes in travel direction in each gear / range
combination. Reverse travel speed is slightly slower
than forward travel in the same gear speed selection.
CAUTION: Reduce engine speed before
changing travel direction. Tractors with
manual “shuttle” require complete stop of
tractor before changing forward / reverse
shuttle lever position.
