Shifting the Transmission-Powershift

IMPORTANT: To extend drive train life, avoid ballast exceeding the weight required to provide traction for continuous full power loads at 6.6 km/hr (4.1 mph). Remove ballast if tractor engine labors when pulling heavy loads in gears slower than 6.6 km/hr (4.1 mph).

Do not overload engine. Select a gear that will pull the load without undue strain.

If slight increase of throttle (A) causes an increase in engine speed, engine is not overloaded. For light loads, use a higher gear and lower engine speed. This saves fuel and reduces wear. Choose a gear which permits a convenient down shift for difficult areas or turns. Gear selected is shown on display (B).

NOTE: Transmission will shift to 1st gear whenever tractor comes to a complete stop.

Corner post display shows engine speed and ground speed.
