Changing The Gear Span; Reducing The Gear Span - New Holland T7030 Operator's Manual

SECTION 2 - - CONTROLS, INSTRUMENTS AND OPERATION

Changing the Gear Span

The range of plus or minus two gears may be
expanded both up and down on the move, using the
downshift and upshift buttons (1) and (2).
Example 1: Upshift gears: When operating in Auto
mode in 7th. gear, as described previously, the
segments for 5th. and 9th. gear will flash. On
reaching 9th gear press the upshift button (2) once
to select 10th gear. When the tractor has upshifted
to 10th, press the button again to select 11th gear.
Auto shifting will now be provided between 5th and
11th gears. The segment for 5th will continue to flash
identifying this as the lowest limit gear currently
available.
Example 2: Downshift gears: Assuming 5th has
been selected as the lowest Auto ratio, slow the
tractor until this gear has been engaged. Then, using
the downshift button (1), select 4th gear and further
reduce speed until 4th gear engages. 3rd gear may
now be selected if required. Applying this technique
it is possible to select gears 1 to 11 in the Auto range.

Reducing the gear span

If necessary, the number of gears available in the
Auto Field range may be reduced by using the upshift
and downshift buttons in the following way.
Example 1: Upshift gears: With the upper limit gear
showing as 9th (flashing segment) and the tractor
operating in a lower gear, depress the downshift
button (1) Figure 130. The flashing segment will
show a one gear reduction each time the button is
depressed.
Example 2: Downshift gears: With the tractor
stopped and the engine running, depress the AUTO
function switch (1). Using the upshift button (2)
Figure 130, move the lower limit gear upwards
(flashing segment) until the desired gear is obtained,
release the switch. This procedure will permit the
lower limit gear to be changed without affecting the
upper limit gear setting in the Auto memory.
