Selecting a Gear

LV14396-UN-02JUN11

A - 1600—2400 Rated Engine RPM

IMPORTANT: If equipped with ballast, select one gear lower than normal to extend drive train life and avoid excessive soil compaction and rolling resistance.

The tractor may be operated in any gear with engine speeds between 1600—2400 rated engine rpm (A). Within these limits the engine can be put under full load. For light load operation, use a higher gear and lower engine speed. This saves fuel and reduces wear.
