Operating Collar Shift Transmission (CST) (If Equipped)

Range shift lever (A) provides three speed ranges: A, B and C.

Gear shift lever (B) provides three forward travel speeds (1, 2, 3) and reverse:

  • Nine forward speeds are available when using range and gear shift levers
  • Three reverse speeds are available when using range shift lever

IMPORTANT: To prevent transmission damage, do not attempt to change gear or range while in motion. When shifting gears or ranges; decrease engine speed, depress clutch pedal fully, and depress brake pedals to stop the tractor.

If the clutch pedal free travel is out of specification, see your John Deere dealer to readjust clutch pedal linkage.

To prevent unnecessary clutch wear, never "ride" the clutch by resting foot on the pedal.

The transmission requires tractor to come to a complete stop when shifting into any gear or speed range.

1. After the tractor has stopped, lower engine rpm to idle speed.

2. Depress clutch pedal (C) FULLY.

3. Select desired gear and/or speed range.

4. Slowly release clutch pedal to gradually take up load.

5. Increase engine speed once shift is completed.
