PowrReverser transmission, reverser lever

A - Range shift lever

B - Gear shift lever

C - Reverser lever


The transmission is shifted via range shift lever (A) and gear shift lever (B). An additional control on the PowrReverser transmission is the mechanical or electrical reverser lever (C).

IMPORTANT: Engage park only when the tractor is stationary.

NOTE: After the engine has been started, wait for 5 seconds before moving gear shift lever (B) or reverser lever (C) out of neutral position.

Optimum gear-shifting for driving under load (transport):

  1. Select a range suitable for driving under load.
  2. Engage the first gear.
  3. Drive and shift up through the ranges until the top range is reached.
  4. Shift up through the gears.

Cold-weather operation

If the oil is cold (0°C, 32°F), it may affect how the reverser lever operates. At temperatures below -10°C (14°F), it may take longer to change the direction of travel. Below +5°C (41°F), the automatic engine-speed matching is de-activated.

In certain circumstances, the reverser lever may have to be actuated several times before the tractor starts to move. When the oil has had time to warm up, operation becomes normal again.


"Come-home" mode

Under certain circumstances, the tractor can still be driven in “come-home” mode even if there is an electrical fault in the transmission.

To do this, stop the engine, remove plug K10/2 (relay box K10) and re-install it at a position 90° from its original position. The wording “Come Home” must be at top.

NOTE: In the come-home mode, engine speed is limited to 1500 rpm and only the first gear in each range is available.


Cruise control (if equipped)

Maximum engine speed can be limited for PTO operation by means of cruise control (A). Move the hand throttle lever to full throttle, then reduce engine speed at control knob (A).

In the lowest setting, engine speed is limited to 1400 rpm. In the highest setting, the engine can run at maximum speed. Individual engine speed limits can be set between these two positions.

If no PTO operation is taking place, cruise control (A) should be in its maximum speed position or in the “Off” position.
