Auto Shift Function (Active Electro Command Only); Auto Shifting In Active Field Gears - New Holland T6010 Operator's Manual

SECTION 2 - - CONTROLS, INSTRUMENTS AND OPERATION
Auto Shift Function
(Active Electro Command Only)
With Auto Shift engaged, the transmission on your
tractor is able to make automatic gearshifts, both up
and down, within a 4 gear span based on speed and
load. This can be extended to an 8 gear auto shift in
the high range for road use.

Auto Shifting in Active Field Gears

In Active Field, auto shifts can be made within gear
spans 1--4 or 5--8. With the main shift lever in the low
range (lever fully rearward), momentarily depress
the Auto Shift button (1). The Active Field symbol
(plough) will appear in the gear display and the Auto
switch will illuminate to confirm engagement.
Moving off in 1st gear, the transmission will
automatically upshift through gears 2 and 3 until 4th
gear is engaged. To Auto Shift through gears 5 to 8,
select 5th gear using the range change button and
depress the Auto Shift button again, the transmission
will now automatically upshift through gears 5 to 8.
As the tractor speed reduces, or the load on the
engine increases, the transmission will automatically
downshift to a lower gear.
If necessary, Active Field can be extended to include
gears 9 to 12. To engage, move the main shift lever
fully forward to select any gear in the 9 to 12 range,
then depress the Auto Shift button again. To confirm
engagement, both Active Field and Active Road
symbols will illuminate.
In ranges 1--4, 5--8 and 9--12, Auto Shift may be
linked to 3--point hitch operation. Raising the 3--point
hitch with the fast raise switch will put Auto Shift into
standby mode, lowering the hitch will re--activate the
Auto Shift function.
NOTE: If the 3- -point hitch was in the raised position
when the Auto Shift function was activated and has
not been moved, then Auto Shift will operate without
lowering the hitch.
Auto Shift will also enter standby mode if the clutch
pedal is depressed or the shuttle lever is moved from
the forward drive position.
To cancel Auto Shift press and release the switch or
operate the upshift or downshift button.
NOTE: When using engine braking to slow the
tractor, operating the upshift or downshift buttons will
not disable Auto Shift unless the selected gear is
outside the Auto Shift range.
