STARTING THE ENGINE AND MOVING IN

REVERSE

As with forward travel, there are two methods:

1. Preselect a Reverse Gear Before Moving
Start the engine with the control lever in neutral (the

digital display will show “N5”).

Move and release or hold the control lever to the right

and allow the transmission to select any gear

between 5th and 10th as shown in the display. Move

and release the lever to the left to select 4th, and 3rd.

NOTE: There are nine reverse gears, the lowest

shown as R2 in the digital display, the highest shown

as R10. They are numbered R2 to R10 since the

ground speeds correspond to the forward speeds F2

to F10.

After the desired gear is selected, depress the

neutral lock button and move the control lever

rearward. To increase speed, open the throttle

further and/or hold the control lever to the right to

select a higher gear. To decrease speed, close the

throttle and/or hold the control lever to the left to

select a lower gear.

NOTE: If the transmission has been preprogrammed

to select a different reverse from forward gear, the

neutral gear selected may change when reverse

gear is selected - see “Programming Reverse Gear”

later in this section.

2. Powershift Reverse Gear While Moving
With the engine running, depress the neutral lock

button and move the control lever rearward. The

digital display will show “R5”, provided the

transmission has not been preprogrammed (see

“Programming Reverse Gear” later in this section).

Move and release or hold the lever to the right and

allow the transmission to run through the gears until

the desired operating speed is achieved.

To further increase tractor speed, open the throttle

more and/or hold the control lever to the right to

select a higher gear. To decrease speed, close the

throttle and/or move the control lever to the left to

select a lower gear.
