Changing The Shuttle (Reverse) Gear (Digital Gear Display Only) - New Holland T6010 Operator's Manual

SECTION 2 - - CONTROLS, INSTRUMENTS AND OPERATION
To reverse the direction of travel pull the shuttle lever
toward the steering wheel, then move it down.
Transmission output speed and clutch pack
engagement are automatically monitored to take up
the drive smoothly in the opposite direction. Control
tractor speed by means of the throttle.
NOTE: If, for example, 3rd. gear is selected in
forward travel, then the same ratio will be selected
when the shuttle lever is moved to the reverse travel
position.
If it is necessary to hillstart with a heavy trailer in low
range then, when 8th. speed is reached, change to
the high range, the transmission will automatically
select the lowest ratio (9th.) in the high range.
When starting off in the highest range, the
transmission will always try to set off in 9th. gear. If
required, this feature may be overridden and a higher
gear selected by partially releasing the clutch then
powershifting up to the required gear before the
clutch 'bite' point is reached.
IMPORTANT: A tractor with electronic transmission
cannot be tow-started and must not be towed other
than to remove it from a field or onto a trailer or truck.
Changing the Shuttle (reverse) Gear
(Digital Gear Display Only)
For certain applications it may be beneficial to
change the reverse gear ratio from the one normally
selected when shuttling i.e. 4th forward gear will be
matched by 4th reverse gear. If required, a reverse
ratio up to three gears higher, or lower, may be set
providing they are within the same range.
To select an alternative reverse ratio to the default
gear i.e. 4th, move the shuttle lever into reverse and,
with the tractor moving select 2nd gear using the
downshift button. The transmission will now
automatically select 2nd gear when moving the
shuttle lever into reverse.
This procedure may be applied in gear ranges 1--4
and 5--8. When moving from one range to another,
either upwards or downwards, the default reverse
gear will always be selected until the operator
chooses an alternative ratio.
When operating in the higher ratios 13--16, the
default reverse gear will always be 9th unless a lower
ratio is selected by the operator.
