Manufacturer

John DeereReference

AutoHST provides an automobile-style control to the eHydro transmission. A single foot pedal controls engine RPMs and transmission speed, with a column-mounted shifter to select forward, neutral, or reverse.Reference

The SyncShuttle (also identified as Top Shaft Synchronizer or TSS) is available on the 4WD models. Three speeds (1-3) plus reverse (R) in three ranges (A-C). Shifting speeds may be done while in motion, using the clutch. The tractor must be stopped to shift ranges.Reference
