HYDROSTATIC DRIVE TRANSMISSION

The Hydrostatic drive transmission has a forward/reverse hydrostatic section and a two-speed range section. This arrangement gives two forward and two reverse speeds ranges.

Transmission Operation

1. Push the clutch pedal fully and stop the tractor. Move the range shift lever to the position needed, H or L.

2. Release the clutch pedal slowly.

3. Operate the speed ratio control pedal to move the tractor. To shift from reverse to forward or from forward to reverse, reduce the speed and switch to depress the speed ratio control pedal one from the other.

IMPORTANT: Before selecting a new range, stop the tractor and push the clutch pedal. Do not change range when the tractor is moving.

Travel speed should be such that complete control and machine stability is maintained at all times. Where possible, avoid operating near ditches, embankments and holes. Reduce speed when turning, crossing slopes, and on rough, slick, or muddy surfaces.
