PROGRAMMABLE UP SHIFT - DOWN
SHIFT
For field use, the transmission can be programmed
to up shift 1, 2, or 3 gears or down shift 1, 2, or 3 gears
when switch, 1, is activated. This feature allows the
operator to up shift or down shift a predetermined
number of gears on row ends then return to the
original gear when returning to work.
The programmable down shift should be used to
reduce speeds in the field for crossing rough terrain
or climbing steep inclines.
The UP SHIFT, DOWN SHIFT rocker switch, 1, is
located beside the 3-point hitch FAST RAISE/WORK
switch, 2. See “3-Point Hitch Hydraulic Controls”.
The use of these features together allows quick turn
around at the end of the field.
