The AutoPowr™ transmission offers three operating modes to get the most fuel efficiency and load control from your tractor: Pressing the transmission button allows the desired operating modes to be selected on the page shown.

A — Full Auto
The minimum engine speed for best fuel economy when operating the tractor under light load is automatically set.
The engine speed droop of the auto shift is automatically set for use of full power when the tractor is operated under full load.

B — Custom
Operator can choose the Fuel Economy Minimum Engine Speed, Auto Shift Engine Speed Droop, and Load Anticipation reaction.

C — Manual
Tractor performs as though equipped with a normal transmission and reacts to controls. No Fuel Economy or Load Control functions are active in this mode.

A — Full Auto

B — Custom

C — Manual

  • Auto Shift (or Load Control) ON.
  • Fuel Economy Feature ON.
  • Load Anticipation for Hitch ON.
  • Load Anticipation for SCVs ON.
  • Auto Shift Engine Speed Droop maintained at maximum tractor power.
  • Maximum engine speed limit adjusted according to PTO rated speed.
  • Auto Shift (or Load Control) ON.
  • Auto Shift Engine Speed Droop with PTO On is Adjustable.
  • Auto Shift Engine Speed Droop with PTO Off is Adjustable.
  • Fuel Economy Minimum Engine Speed with PTO On is Adjustable.
  • Fuel Economy Minimum Engine Speed with PTO Off is Adjustable.
  • Load Anticipation for Hitch is Adjustable.
  • Load Anticipation for SCVs is Adjustable.
  • Auto Shift (or Load Control) OFF.
  • Fuel Economy Feature OFF.
  • Use when application is causing undesired automatic shifting.
  • Use when operating on steep and/or slippery downhill slopes.1

Bar graph in the left region reflects preset operating settings in Full Auto mode. Each of the following, after being preset, will remain unchanged during operation, and the operator will hear engine rpm rise or lower as tractor reacts to changing conditions and lever movements.

  • The black area (1) shows engine speed limit (cruise control) at full throttle.
  • White marker (2) reflects auto shift engine speed.
  • Blue marker (3) reflects fuel economy engine speed.

Forward Maximum Speed or Reverse Maximum Speed displays the maximum forward (4) or reverse (5) speed limits. To change the Maximum Speed, select appropriate Maximum Speed box. When Maximum Speed box highlights, select desired speed. Increasing the speeds does not change the dynamic behavior of the tractor. But if the operator changes the Maximum Forward or Reverse speed below current set speed, the set speed would decrease to the max speed and the vehicle speed would decrease.


Custom settings

NOTE: All settings pertaining to this page are only applicable when AutoPowr™ transmission is in Custom mode.

4 - ECO Engine Speed with PTO switched off

5 - Load Anticipation (Hitch)

6 - Load Anticipation (SCV)

J - Previous Page Softkey

The Load Anticipation feature allows the AutoPowr™ transmission to predict loads due to activation of hitch or SCVs. By default, Load Anticipation is enabled in the Full Auto mode selected on the Transmission page. In custom mode, anticipated load from the hitch and/or PTOs is activated when the relevant check box is activated for hitch and/or SCVs.

Fuel economy feature may raise minimum engine speed to 1560 rpm when load anticipation is enabled and either the hitch/ SCV is placing a heavy load on the engine or an SCV is in continuous flow. If load on the engine is still too much, load anticipation feature may raise minimum engine speed to 1800 rpm.

Press the transmission button and actuate custom settings softkey (E).

NOTE: Auto Shift Engine Speed Droop can be set from 4 % to 30 % with PTO ON or OFF.

1 — Set auto shift engine speed droop under full load with PTO engaged:
Select drop-down box (1) for PTO switched ON and specify the desired percentage.

2 — Set auto shift engine speed droop under full load with PTO disengaged:
Select drop-down box (2) for PTO switched OFF and specify the desired percentage.

3 — Set ECO Engine Speed under part load, with PTO switched on:
Select drop-down box (3) for ECO Engine Speed with PTO switched on and specify any desired percentage.

4 — Engine speed (ECO) at partial load, with deactivated PTO:
Select drop-down box (4) for ECO Engine Speed with PTO switched off and specify any desired percentage.

To turn on Load Anticipation:

Select either hitch check box (5) or SCV check box (6). When SCV check box is checked, engine speed is boosted, if needed, at each occurrence SCV is extended or retracted. When Hitch check box is checked, engine speed is boosted, if needed, at each occurrence hitch is lowered.

NOTE: If ECO OFF is set for ECO Engine Speed in drop-down boxes (3) and (4), the Anticipated Load functions for hitch and SCVs appear grayed out (dimmed) and cannot be activated.

Drop-down box for set speed ratio

Press the transmission button and select the Advanced Settings button on the transmission page. Select any desired speed ratio (A) from drop-down box. There are 2 variants:

  • In speed band 1, reverse speeds can be set to a maximum of 30% higher (selection 1.3) and 70% lower (selection 0.3) than forward speeds. A setting such as this only takes effect if the maximum speed in a speed band is adjusted using the speed wheel.

    In speed band 2, the forward/reverse speed ratio is 1:1 up to 22 km/h (14 mph). Above that speed, it changes automatically to 40:30 or 50:30.

  • If independent is selected, any speed can be set in speed band 1 and 2 for each direction of travel. This does not apply to creeper mode.

C - Acceleration Aggressiveness Drop-Down Box

D - Back softkey

AutoClutch is a function whereby the vehicle clutch automatically separates when the main brake is applied.

Changing the sensitivity setting of the AutoClutch alters the way in which the clutch separates automatically. This changes the time-lag between initiation of braking and the point in time when the clutch separates. If set correctly, this has a positive effect on braking characteristics when driving with a trailer.

The lower the sensitivity, the greater the actuation of the trailer brake so that the hitched-up unit remains stretched. This also implies that more force is required to actuate the foot brake.

To adjust AutoClutch sensitivity, press the transmission button and select the Advanced Settings button on the transmission page. Select desired AutoClutch sensitivity (B) in the drop-down box. There are three different settings:

  • High (factory default): is primarily for driving without a trailer or with a trailer on level ground.
  • Medium: is primarily for driving with a trailer in moderately hilly terrain.
  • Low: is recommended for driving downhill with a trailer, particularly if ground conditions are difficult.

NOTE: When Medium and Low settings are selected, more force is required to depress the brake pedal.

D - Back softkey

Changing the acceleration aggressiveness setting can improve the way a tractor and trailer pick up speed when starting from a stationary position. The heavier the trailer, the lower the acceleration aggressiveness setting of the tractor. This prevents a hitched-up unit from swaying back and forward, which is particularly important when fluids are being transported.

To adjust acceleration aggressiveness, press the transmission button and select the Advanced Settings button on the transmission page. Select desired acceleration aggressiveness (C) in the drop-down box. There are three different settings:

  • High (factory default): is for light trailers.
  • Medium: is for medium trailers.
  • Low: is for heavy trailers.

To return to previous page, select Back softkey (D).
