Maximum travel speed is regulated using speed wheel (A).

NOTE: The maximum speed setting is shown on the instrument panel by means of the LEDs on the circumference of the speed display.

On the transmission page, a frame appears round the range selection (C) that is currently activated, and the set maximum speed is displayed.

The set maximum speed can be overwritten in manual mode.

Set the maximum speed by moving the reverse drive lever out of the park position. Use buttons (B) to select the desired range and set the desired travel speed using speed wheel (A).

NOTE: In range BC, the maximum travel speed possible in reverse is 30 km/h (18.64 mph).

NOTE: When the PTO is switched on, priority is given to PTO speed. To increase or reduce travel speed, the tractor's transmission shifts automatically.

Limit maximum speed for forward and reverse travel

Maximum speed for forward and reverse can always be limited on the transmission page. These set maximum travel speeds cannot be changed using speed wheel (A) or overridden using the accelerator pedal or hand throttle.

To adjust, press the transmission button and access the transmission page.

The maximum speeds for forward and reverse are displayed in boxes (D) and (E). To change maximum speed for forward and reverse, actuate display box (D) or (E). In the context menu, enter the desired settings by means of the +/— buttons and close the menu. Increasing the speeds does not change the dynamic behavior of the tractor. The maximum speed set in boxes (D) and (E) always takes utmost priority, even if a higher speed has been selected in another setting.

Reduction of engine speed:

This function allows fuel economy to be improved. If the speed commanded by the accelerator pedal or hand throttle has been reached, the engine speed that is required to maintain travel speed will be reduced automatically. Input boxes (C) and (D) allow a minimum engine speed to be selected which will not be reduced any further by the engine speed reduction function. Selecting ECO (B) allows the operator to toggle between the minimum engine speeds in boxes (C) and (D).

NOTE: The value can be incrementally configured from 900 rpm to 2100 rpm.

To adjust minimum engine speed, actuate transmission button and button (A) to activate Custom Settings. Use the following procedure to change the speeds.

• Change minimum engine speed with ECO ON:

  1. Use button (B) to switch on ECO.

  2. Actuate input box (C) and access the context menu.

  3. Use the +/— buttons to set the desired speed.

  4. To save, close page.

• Change minimum engine speed with ECO OFF:

  1. Use button (B) to switch off ECO.

  2. Actuate input box (D) and call up the context menu.

  3. Use the +/— buttons to set the desired speed.

  4. To save, close page.

Engine Speed Droop:

If engine speed is reduced under load, an adjustable automatic control ensures that e.g. a lower gear is selected to keep engine speed at a constant level when operating a rear PTO. Engine Speed Droop intensity depends on the setting which corresponds to a percentage of the current speed.

Example: If Engine Speed Droop is set to 10 % at a preset engine speed of approx. 1930 rpm, transmission will shift down one gear if speed drops to approx. 1740 rpm. This would correspond to a drop in PTO speed from 540 to about 490 rpm accordingly.

Engine Speed Droop also influences the shifting behavior when upshifting in Auto mode. The higher the value set for engine speed droop, the sooner the tractor will shift up.

NOTE: Engine speed droop percentage with rear PTO on can be set from 6 % to 40 % or with rear PTO off can be set from 20 % to 40 %.

To adjust Engine Speed Droop, actuate button (E) and access the Custom Settings context menu. Use input boxes (F) or (G) to access the Engine Speed Droop settings for PTO ON and PTO OFF, and use the +/— buttons to set the desired values. To save, close page.

Adjusting the engine speed for the expected additional load:

This setting is used to select an additional anticipated load created by the use of front and rear PTOs (H), front and rear hitch (I) or SCV (J).

If the engine speed is reduced due to the load and the front and/or rear PTO is switched on, the engine speed is increased again permanently. When the hitch or the selective control valves is activated, the engine speed is increased briefly.

To activate or disable the relevant function, press the ON or OFF button. To save, close page.

This function allows a different travel speed to be selected automatically when direction of travel is changed. This will be achieved by shifting gears. The ratio between forward and reverse speed can be set between +3 and -3. When changing the direction of travel, there is a shift of gears up or down by one, two, or three stages, depending on the setting, however only within the engaged range.

To change, press the transmission button and actuate icon (A; advanced settings) in the first line of the transmission page.

Select tab (B) and use arrow buttons (C) to select the desired input box and set the desired forwards/reverse speed (E). To save, close page.


AutoClutch settings

AutoClutch is an automatic clutch function. When AutoClutch is switched on, the clutch pedal does not need to be pressed to stop the tractor.

If both brake pedals are depressed when driving the tractor, the speed will be reduced or the tractor stops. When the brakes are released again, the tractor automatically accelerates up to the speed currently commanded by the hand throttle or accelerator pedal.

CAUTION: When AutoClutch is switched off, the clutch pedal needs to be pressed to stop the tractor.

IMPORTANT: The AutoClutch function operates only when the brake pedals are coupled together. Actuating a pedal individually (e.g. to steer) does NOT actuate the automatic clutch function.

NOTE: For driving maneuvers using the turn brake (only one brake pedal is actuated), the engine speed should not drop below 900 rpm, because otherwise the AutoClutch function becomes active again.
