Shifting the Transmission—24-Speed

RXA0109272-UN-16AUG10

A - Range-Shift Lever

B - Gearshift Lever

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

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

If slight increase of throttle 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. If possible, choose a gear which permits a convenient down shift for difficult areas or turns.

Depress clutch pedal.

Move range-shift lever (A) to the desired range.

Move gearshift lever (B) to the desired speed.

NOTE: Reverse speeds are blocked out when transmission is in "D" range.

Gradually release clutch pedal.

Corner post display shows engine speed, ground speed and Hi/Lo for 24-speed transmission operation.
