thefollowingmeanings:
A-IndependentPTOengaged.
 Directlydrivenbytheengine.

PTO(optional)
 Drivenbythegearbox.
NOTE: The PTO mode selector lever (1) has no neutral
position. This is obtained when the speed selector lever
(2) is shifted to the position “N”.
IMPORTANT:The PTO mode selector lever, independent
or synchronized (optional), controls a mechanical coupler
that ensures the maximum safety in both operation modes.
The passage from a mode to another, however, is only
possible when the teeth are aligned. The procedure is
described under the headings “Direct power take-off” and
“Synchronyzed power take-off” hereunder.
Power take-off engagement
-Selecttherequiredspeed540/540ECO/1000RPM
withtheselectorlever(2).
-EngagethePTOmodeselectorlever(1).
-Engagethepowertake-off(3).

gedbymeansoftherelativecontrollever(3).
Direct power take-off
ThedirectPTOcanoperateat540RPMwiththeengineat
1944RPM,orat1000RPMwiththeengineat1956RPM.
(Atrequest540ECORPMwiththeengineat1375RPM).
ThePTOisdirectlydrivenbytheengineanditsoperation
isfullyindependentfromthetractor’sgroundspeed.
Engagement of direct PTO
ThedirectPTOmustbeengagedwiththeengineat
idlingspeed,withouthesitatingandnotcaringforany
noiseswhichareduetothealignmentofthegear
teeth.

X60.50 Dual Power
The Dual Power system increases the available power
whenworkingunderloadwithengagedPTO.DualPower
takesadvantageofthepotentialoftheelectronicengine
controlsystemtomaintainsteadypowerdeliveryeven
whenthereareloadvariations.Thisisdonebyautoma-
ticallysupplyinganextrapowerreservewhilstthePTO
is being operated, thus allowing this latter to be used
inabetterwaywhileimprovingtheperformancesand
productivity.
Forpowervalues,seetheTechnicalSpecificationschapter
inthismanual.
DualPoweralsoengagestoimproveperformancesduring
transportoperationaccordingtoload,groundspeedand
enginespeedrate.
