Transport Operation in Full Auto Mode on John Deere E23 Transmission
How to Use Full Auto Mode for Safe and Smooth Road Transport
Transporting your tractor on the road with the John Deere E23 Transmission? Full Auto mode is the recommended setting for simple, efficient, and safe transportation. This article guides you step-by-step through the process and highlights key safety tips.
What Is Full Auto Mode?
Full Auto mode provides the smoothest operation for road transport when using a John Deere E23 Transmission. By automatically controlling shift patterns and speed adjustments, this mode helps ensure easy handling and optimal performance without manual gear changes.
Step-by-Step Guide: Transporting with Full Auto Mode
-
Confirm Full Auto Mode Selection
-
On your tractor run page, check to ensure you're in Full Auto mode.
-
If not, access your transmission settings and select Full Auto.
-
-
Set Your Transport Speed Carefully
-
Preferred operation: Start with a lower set speed.
-
Gradually move the throttle to full position once you’re moving.
-
Use the shift lever to increase speed up to your desired set speed.
-
-
Avoid Sudden Acceleration
-
If the throttle is fully open and you set a high speed (e.g., the maximum of 26mph), the tractor will accelerate quickly, which is unsafe for most conditions.
-
To prevent rapid acceleration, always begin transport with the throttle in a low position if set speed is high.
-
-
Adjusting Speed on the Road
-
Slow down by either pulling the throttle back or shifting to a lower set speed.
-
To stop, use the clutch or brake once speed is reduced.
-
Helpful Tips
-
Always begin transport at a lower set speed and increase gradually for the smoothest ride.
-
Monitor speed and control transitions using the throttle and shift lever.
