Adjusting Set Speeds To Match Varying Load Conditions

RXA0098902-UN-26JAN09

A - Ground Speed

B - Set Speed

C - Full Load Symbol

Set speeds are obtained from measuring tractor axle speed combined with tire size details. Select a set speed that is approximately 3 km/h (2 mph) higher than the desired working speed in order to obtain maximum productivity in applications where a precise forward speed is not critical, such as plowing. The tractor will reach the higher set speed value during a no load or light load condition.

Symbol (C) indicates engine is at full load and transmission is shifting to maintain peak tractor performance. Commanded speed may not match actual speed.

Tractors Equipped with Radar:

The ground speed (A) indicated on the display will always be lower than the set speed (B) if there is a measurable wheel slip.
