2.8 Shifting Gears
16+8 Shuttle-Type Gear Shift
There are three gear shifts. The main and shuttle gear shifts are controlled by two shift levers on the driver’s
right. A T-handle on the right side floor controls the high and low range. The main gear shift lever A accounts
for 4 shifts (1 through 4), and the shuttle gear shift lever B has 2 forward speeds (F
H
for Forward High and F
L
for Forward Low) and one reverse (R). The floor T-handle controls the High and Low range selection (H and L).
It works with all four gear selections, in forward and reverse.

Figure 2-28 Tractor Gear Shift
Press the main clutch pedal to the floor and move the shuttle gear shift lever B to the left from NEUTRAL,
then push it forward to forward high gear F
H
. If you pull it backward, it will be in reverse gear R. Push it
to the right from NEUTRAL, then push it forward and it will be forward low gear F
L
.
Press the main clutch pedal to the floor and move the main gear shift lever A to the left from NEUTRAL,
then pull it backward to Gear 1. Push it forward to Gear 2. Move the main gear shift lever A to the right
from NEUTRAL then pull it backward to Gear 3 and push it forward for Gear 4.
With the 16+8 shuttle-type gear shift, there is a high/low speed T-handle on the center-right of the floor.
The central position is NEUTRAL. Pulling it up engages the Low range and pushing it down engages the
High range. Combined with the above main/auxiliary gear shift lever, you have 16 forward gears
and 8 reverse gears.
You should select the operating speed of the tractor based on getting optimum productivity and economy
and prolonging the service life of the tractor. When working, try not to overload the tractor. You should
always have a power reserve. When working in the field, the selected speed of the tractor should make the
engine load 80%. When the tractor does light-duty operations at a low speed, high shift 1 can be used to save
fuel oil by throttling down.
