A - Engine button

NOTE: Power boost is activated automatically when starting the engine.

To de-activate or re-activate power boost, press engine button (A) and make a choice on the screen.

If power boost is activated at the CommandCenter, then the following applies:

a) Transport work
Engine power is increased automatically when ground speed exceeds 15 km/h (9.3 mph). This power boost persists until the ground speed drops below 10 km/h (6.2 mph).

b) PTO operation
When using PTO-driven implements, engine power is increased gradually when ground speed exceeds 1 km/h (0.6 mph), if the tractor electronic system detects a correspondingly high PTO power requirement. Full power becomes available from a speed of 2.5 km/h (1.5 mph).
