ELECTRO COMMAND TRANSMISSION
This transmission offers 16 or 17 forward, and 16
reverse ratios. An optional reduction gear set
(creeper gears) offers a further 16 ratios, forward and
reverse.
In the following text, operational information is based
on the 16 x 16 transmission (30 and 40 Km/h).
However , the 17 x 16 transmission (50 Km/h)
functions in exactly the same way.
IMPORTANT: When travelling at high road speeds
with trailed or semi--mounted equipment attached to
the tractor, ensure the equipment is rated for 50K/mh
operation in respect to its construction, brakes and
tyres.
The transmission is controlled by means of a main
shift lever , two powershift buttons and a range
change button. A shuttle lever mounted to the left of
the steering wheel selects forward or reverse drive.
T ransmission and throttle controls are colour-coded
orange.
This transmission provides four powershift gears in
each of the four intermediate ranges A (1--4), B
(5--8), C (9--12), and D (13--16). Clutchless shifts
between gears 4 and 5, 12 and 13 are made by using
the range button in conjunction with the powershift
buttons. Range shifts between Low and High (8th.
and 9th. gears), can only be made with the clutch
pedal fully depressed.
Main Shift Lever

gears and main gears. When selecting High or Low
ranges (moving the lever forwards or rearwards) the
clutch pedal must always be depressed.

the Low (field) range. In this range, powershift gears
1--4 or 5--8 can be selected. Move the lever fully
forwar d t o selec t power shif t gears 9--12 or 13--16 in
the High range. To engage neutral, move the lever to
