GROUND SPEED SELECTION
HST type
Tractor is equipped to provide three forward gear speeds
and three rearward gear speeds.
FIG. 5-54: The hydrostatic transmission provides variable
speed control in forward or reverse.
Range shift lever, 1, provide three major changes in
ground speed.
IMPORTANT: Stop tractor completely whenever shifting
the range shift lever, 1.
Hydrostatic control pedal
Depressing the forward pedal,2, causes the tractor to
move forward. Depressing the reverse pedal,3, causes
the tractor to move rearward. Ground speed will increase
as the pedal is depressed.
When released, the spring loaded pedal will return to
neutral position. The trator will slow, then stop when neu-
tral position is reached. When the pedal is completely
released and in neutral position, the tractor should remain
stopped.
This tractor is equipped with Auto throttle system, it raises
up engine speed by depressing forward direction the
pedal. Whenever it would be used, tractor dose not load
any implements or trailer.
When tractor is operated with implements or trailer, set
rated engine speed by hand throttle lever.

speed above 1500rpm whenever operat-
ing the Hydrostatic control pedal. When
