Gear Shifting within a Range
IMPORTANT: It is recommended that shifting gears
with the tractor in motion be limited to light draft
or rolling loads and only within a set range. Do not
attempt to shift between ranges without first coming
to a complete stop.
 . Depress the clutch pedal fully .
2 . Move the gearshift lever (2) to the required gear .
Shift patterns are located in front of the shift
levers indicating gear position .
NOTE: It is not necessary to reduce engine speed
for shifts within a range, but is recommended to
increase the life of shift components.
3 . Release the clutch pedal slowly to insure a smooth
transmission engagement .
NOTE: While it is possible to shift with the tractor
in motion within a range, under heavy loads the
tractor will probably come to an abrupt stop before
the shift is complete. For your safety, it is
recommended that the operator throttle down,
raise any implements, and stop before attempting
any shifts.
Forward/Reverse Shifting
Shuttle shifting should not be attempted between the
forward and reverse ranges while the tractor is still
moving . Harsh transmission engagement will occur as
well as damage to the range shift mechanisms in the
transmission .
 . Bring the tractor to a complete stop before shifting
the range lever .
2 . Select the range desired .
3 . Release the clutch pedal slowly to achieve a smooth
start .
