Transmission — 8 forward and reverse mechanical shuttle
Type | mechanical shuttle |
Gears | 8 forward and reverse |
Four gears (1-4) in two ranges (Low-High) with left-hand reverser lever. Gears shifted with right-hand gear shift on the console. Ranges shifted with left-hand lever beside seat. Shuttle shifting is synchronized, using the clutch and at low engine RPMs. Tractor must be stopped to shift ranges. The transmission may be equipped with a dual-stage clutch. This can be identified if the PTO shift has 1000 RPMs on the left, and 540 RPMs on the right. | |
With 12.4-24 rear tires. Reverse speeds are about 10% slower than forward. | |
