Operation

NOTE: At ambient temperatures of -10°C or less, the gearshift lever and the controls may be difficult to operate for the
first minutes after the start, until the oil in the gearbox is not warm.

IMPORTANT: If the tractor is moving, a gear should always be engaged (except when changing range, gear or direc-
tion). To do so could result in the operator not having full control of the tractor and may result in personal injury.

USE OF THE GEARBOX

Xtrashift

The Xtrashift gearbox with electro-hydraulic reverse shut-
tle is available in two versions.
- 4 synchro gear gearbox for 3 ranges (Low - Normal -

High) 3 Powershift ranges under load (only available
in forward gears) and electro-hydraulic reverse shut-
tle: 36FWD + 12REV - 40 kph.

- 4 synchro gear gearbox for 4 ranges (Creeper - Low

- Normal - High) 3 Powershift ranges under load (only
available in forward gears) and electro-hydraulic
reverse shuttle: 46FWD + 16REV - 40 kph.

Xtrashift functions of electro-hydraulic Power
Shuttle and 3 Powershift ranges under load.

Reverse shuttle under load: Allows the driving direc-

tion to be reversed by simply moving the small lever
on the left hand near the steering wheel. The elec-
tronic control unit guarantees smooth and gradual
reversing. For safety reasons, the direction can only
be reversed at speeds of less than 10 Kph.

The Declutch system disengages the main hydraulic

clutch by means of the button on the actual gearshift
lever. With this button the driver can change mechan-
ical gears without using the clutch pedal.

The clutch pedal is only used for very small move-

ments of the tractor, e.g. to hitch or unhitch an imple-
ment, and for greater safety, when sudden stops are
made or obstacles are encountered.

Xtrashift: use of the electro-hydraulic gearbox in the 3

operating Powershift ranges: Direct - Direct - Over-
drive.

The operator can shift from a range to another with-

out using the clutch pedal, under load and while the
tractor is moving, simply depressing the button on
the gearshift lever: press + to increase speed, press
- to slow down.

X60.20-X60.30-X60.40

On tractors with mechanically regulated engine, the Over-
drive is automatically selected on reaching a 40 kph speed.

X60.50 - earbox 40 kph ECO

The transmission controller limits max. speed to 40 kph at
1900 engine RPM, thus obtaining a significant reduction in
fuel consumption when transporting and driving on road.

Potentiometer to regulate the engagement speed
of electro-hydraulic clutches (5) - All models

The potentiometer controls the solenoid valves of electro-
hydraulic clutches engaging forward gears, underdrive,
overdrive, reverse gears.
In particular, it can progressively change the clutch en-
gagement time, so that the tractor response is selected
according to the condition of its use.
Such a variation is displayed on the instrument cluster by
a number from 0 to 100:
0 - Slow response.
100 - Quick response.
