Overview

Manufacturer

FordReference

Creeper range added to standard power shift transmission. With tractor in neutral and inching pedal pressed, toggle button is used to enter/exit creeper range.Reference

The Dual Power transmission provides a 'Powerdrive' low range to the basic constant mesh transmission. A foot switch next to the clutch is used to engage and disengage the mode, and may be switched while the tractor is in motion. A "rabbit" or "turtle" display light on the instrument panel indicates which mode the transmission is selected.Reference
