Selecting Gears

The tractor can operate in any gear with nominal engine speeds of 1600 rpm to 2400 rpm. Within these limits the engine can be subjected to full load. For light work, use a high gear and a lower engine speed, as this will conserve fuel and reduce wear.

Avoid working for long periods of time at ground speeds lower than 6 km/h (3.73 mph) when the tractor is operating with maximum ballast and the engine at maximum power.
