Selecting a Gear

PY18019-UN-19MAR14

IMPORTANT: To extend drive train life and avoid excessive soil compaction and rolling resistance when using ballast, operate one gear lower than normal.

The tractor may be operated in any gear with engine speeds between 1588 rpm and 2083 rated engine rpm.

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.

Ground Speed Estimates for different tire sizes are located in Specifications section.
