Automatic PowerShift (APS) shifts transmission to maintain engine speed. APS will not shift above maximum gear selected. Control unit determines shift points based on throttle setting, engine speed, and engine load.

Setting APS

  1. Select Transmission.

  2. Place tractor in forward gear. Selected gear appears in current gear box (A).

  3. As tractor travels forward in selected gear, select APS softkey (C) to activate APS. Current gear now appears in both current gear box and set gear box (B).

  4. Transmission can now be shifted to any other gear.

  5. Select Resume switch (D) transmission will default to set gear.

  • Set throttle to full engine rpm.
  • Select maximum forward gear.
  • Press the SET switch. APS indicator will light. APS will automatically downshift and upshift as engine rpm or load changes.
  • When using Automatic PowerShift.

Any manual shift cancels APS. Pressing Automatic PowerShift button restores control of shifting to APS.

Depressing clutch pedal suspends APS but will not cancel APS function. APS will resume when clutch pedal is released.

NOTE: APS can be programmed into iTEC™

APS is cancelled when operator shifts transmission to another gear, neutral or reverse.
