Creeper Gears - New Holland T7030 Operator's Manual

SECTION 2 - - CONTROLS, INSTRUMENTS AND OPERATION

CREEPER GEARS

(where fitted)
For operations requiring extra low ground speeds, a
reduction gear set (creeper gears) is available. The
reduction gear set is installed within the main
transmission housing.
With the reduction gears, an additional 10 forward
and 6 reverse creeper gear ratios are provided. The
reduction gear set has the effect of reducing the
ratios within the main transmission to provide very
low operating speeds.
The creeper gears are selected by means of a rocker
switch (1) located on the right-hand control console.
With the engine running, clutch depressed and the
shuttle lever in neutral, apply and hold down the
tractor footbrakes. Momentarily depress the upper
part of the selector switch (1), Figure 143, to engage
the creeper gears.
The creep speed symbol (1), will appear flashing in
the transmission display. When the creep gears are
fully engaged the symbol will cease to flash and
become steady.
To disengage creeper gears, repeat the above
procedure and depress the selector switch again.
The creep speed symbol will cease to illuminate.
IMPORTANT: The creeper gears offer very low
ground speeds. Do not use the low gearing
advantage to apply excessive draft loads to the
tractor.
