Too many reverse gears!

Too many reverse gears!

Slow, and fast. What else could you possibly need ?

 

[Nearly]

These speeds on 18.4 34's. Now sits on 18.4 38's. plus 6%
8th gear seems to work too so has been un-blanked off at some point. Vroom!

Should do almost 40k, if the steering / brakes / clutch and driver can take it.

So going from 34 to 38 wheels is only 6% faster?
I thought my sums said 12%

my mistake, diameter 6% more so circ almost 20% more, but tyres are baldish.
40k then.

I'll need to do the axle pivots then!

Good, that's better, I thought for a minute I had wasted £1k on a set of 38s
I will be well chuffed if I get near 40k
Just need to get them painted and fitted

In @oil barron attachment it says they have 8 reverse gears. The 8100 only have high and low reverse with a splitter in each making 4 in total.

Slow slow, fast slow, slow fast and fast fast are an absolute minimum.

And it says they can only lift 2000kg, that doesn't seem much for that size of tractor

And so many levers only an octopus can change gear

Just 2 levers and a floor switch dual power.

Don't believe everything you read on the internet.
4254 kg with assistor ram according to spec sheet.

Just to clear something up mentioned earlier. 8100 4wd brochure. Schindler axle, County / EVA belly pan.

Is it not like the 1000/ 600 series with high/ low on one lever, and 2nd/ 6th opposite reverse on another?
