Hi-Lo selector on gear lever

Overview

For operators requiring more field speeds to achieve the most precise operating ranges, as well as for quickly moving from task to task with transport speeds of up to 40.23 km/h (25 mph), the PowrReverser™ Hi-Lo 32F/16R transmission is the ideal choice. This transmission provides 32F/16R speeds for the ultimate in speed selection.

Benefits

• Effortlessly switch directions with a small finger motion using the electrohydraulic fingertip directional lever
  • Frees the right hand to operate other tractor controls, such as the loader, rear implements, or throttle, as the directional lever allows the operator to steer and shift direction with the left hand
  • The control is located on the left side of the instrument console and selects forward, reverse, and neutral positions
• Clutch-less hydraulic shifting between forward and reverse
• Convenient push-button controls actuate the electrohydraulic hi-lo selector providing an extra 20% increase/decrease in speed for each forward gear
• Lower engine vibration, reduced noise, less wear and tear on the engine, reduced fuel consumption, and increased operator comfort from the standard economy PTO (E-PTO)

Additional details

32F/16R transmission includes: 

• Hydraulic wet clutches (forward and reverse)
  • Maximize durability and outlast the life of any dry clutch
  • When tractors are run by multiple operators with a variety of experience levels, a wet clutch is the best way to maintain transmission integrity and performance while decreasing clutch replacement costs
• Platform-mounted shift levers (four gears, four ranges)
  • Two platform-mounted levers offer easy and comfortable shifting for a pleasant operator experience
  • The gear-shift lever is easy to reach, and the less-used range lever is shorter. Unique knobs make it easy to distinguish between the two
• Left-hand reverser
• Constant-mesh helical-cut gears
  • Provide quieter operation and excellent reliability while the pressure-lubricated top shaft adds to the transmission durability
  • Fully enclosed, rigid shift linkages for short throw and crisp shifts enable all operators to clearly know in what range and gear they are operating
• Pressure-lubricated top shaft
• Positive park pawl: provides positive park and eliminates the need for a hand brake
• Neutral start switch

The gear lever selects one of four speeds, all synchronized shifts for on-the-go shifting with the use of the clutch. This same lever is where the hi-lo control buttons are located which provide a single shift up/down in speed within each forward range. The rear lever selects ranges A, B, C, or D. All ranges are fully synchronized which means, when shifting, operators can move between any range A-D without stopping the tractor.

The hi-lo feature benefits operators who frequently transport their tractors from field to field or find themselves in bog-down situations during rear power take-off (PTO) work such as baling in variable sized windrows. Customers can push the rabbit button (high) without having to depress the clutch to get a 20 percent increase in speed. They can also push the turtle button (low) to get a 20 percent decrease in speed, similar to downshifting or engine braking without having to grab another gear.

Shuttle control knob

The 32F/16R transmission includes the infinitely variable shuttle control feature allowing fine-tuning of the speed of directional changes to the operator’s preference or application demands. This dial adjusts the aggressiveness of the tractor’s directional change. Some prefer a quicker more precise change, whereas other operators are more comfortable with a slow roll out before moving in the opposite direction. This feature can be significant for precision work with pallet forks or changing to bale stacking applications.

The PowrReverser™ has a built-in engagement override valve for additional safety. This valve requires the clutch pedal to be depressed one time after each engine start before the transmission will begin to operate normally, giving the operator another opportunity to put all focus on the tractor.

NOTE: A neutral start switch requires the directional lever be in the neutral position to start the engine.

NOTE: See PTO detailed feature for more information on E-PTO.
