Select Correct Ground Travel Speed

Number of gears:

16 forward gears, 16 reverse gears

The tractor may be equipped with a reduction gear, offering a further 16 gears.

Gears should be selected so as to avoid permanent overloading of the engine. Ground travel speeds with engine running at rated speed are shown in the following table.

Should you wish to determine ground speed travel at other engine speeds, then proceed as follows:

Desired engine speed
	= Conversion factor
2300 rpm

The conversion factor multiplied by the ground speed shown in the following table gives the ground travel speed at the desired engine speed.

Example:

Ground travel speed at 2300 rpm according to following table: 9.0 km/h; desired speed: 1400 rpm

1400 rpm
	= 0.61
2300 rpm

9.0 km/h x 0.61 = 5.5 km/h

Should you wish to determine engine speed at a desired ground travel speed, proceed as follows:

Desired ground travel speed
	= Factor
Desired ground travel speed in table

The conversion factor multiplied by the rated speed gives you the desired engine rpm.

Example:

5.0 km/h
	= 0.56
9.0 km/h

2300 rpm x 0.56 = 1290 rpm
