NOTE:
Tractors equipped with
Multi-Power Transmission cannot
be
started by pushing or towing.
Careless Towing Methods are Very Dangerous.
Multi-Power Transmission
The
Multi-Power
Transmission provides
twelve
forward and four reverse speeds.
This
wide
range of speeds provides greater
efficiency in all operations.
Multi-Power provides a "shift-on-the-
go" feature.
Move the Multi-Power Lever
to ''Low'' for greater pulling power to pull
through tough spots and heavy crops.
Move
the Multi-Power Lever to "High" to increase
ground
speed.
No need to disengage the
clutch
when shifting Multi-Power ranges.
