Transmission notes
8-speed: Four gears with two ranges. The up-shift from 3-to-4 and 7-to-8 synchronized. Tractor must be stopped, and clutch used, for all other shifts.
Dual Power: Dual Power adds a power shift to the basic eight-speed transmission. Two foot buttons control the shift, the left button engages direct drive (normal) mode while the right "power drive" button provides the lower range. The power drive button must be down for stationary PTO work.
