effort. Engine rpm ranges between 1200-1800rpm.
In field mode (Full load crop conditions):
Automatically adjusts the engine and ground speed in order to maintain maximum
capacity
In field mode (Partial load crop conditions):
Automatically controls engine speed to maintain optimum fuel consumption level.
In field mode (Headland operation):
During headland operation the engine rpm will be reduced to 1700rpm whilst the
header is in the raised position. When the header is lowered the engine rpm will
increase to a value depending on what ECO mode is active.
