MF 7400 questions and answers

[Antares 6]

Ok, then i MUST try, alot of money saved if i get it right
I see that my 7480 is delivred with Power Boost, how do i activate this...
See picture, I think this tractor was delivered with some accessories.

 

[davidroberts30]

Its automatic

Ok, i am sure there will be a huge difference with calibration and also new oil/filters.
I will let you know when it is done.

What do this mean....23km on pedalmode ?
I adjusted it up to 30km with SV.

Yes you set it to the max speed tou want to travel on the pedal

Hi would anybody have user manual that they could email me for a tier 2 mf7480. Looking at purchasing one but its opposite end of country and would like to know more about controls before going to view to see if suitable, for example if there rear lift button nearer front than presumably draft sensitivity and limits I presume further back next to PTO settings. Thanks.

 

[davidroberts30]

Not quite sure what you mean re the buttons

Is there dial on armrest or Infront of driver for rear lift up and down, I've seen the rotary dials further back but look at bit further back than easily fall to hand. I've taken a lot from this thread how forward speed is controlled, thanks.

There is a dial on the side of the armrest for depth
Also a rocker switch for up/down
On side consol is draugh/max height and speed of drop

That's what I was hoping. Is it possible to get PTO running more than speed selected as baler seems to run better nearer 700 rpm. What does foot control do when forward speed is on stick or shuttle?

David, can i do the calibration on the Dot Matrix screen and the arrows on the steering or must i use the Datatronic 3 screen ?
Today i played with the engine superivisor in combination with the snowblower/pto, i learned how to use the engine supervisor when i use the snowblower in mutch and hard snow and it is very heavy, turned it down to zero and the power shift/went from the transmision to the pto and the pto rpm rised quickly, that way i not needed to use SV button with low speed/km where it was very mutch snow....just turn down the superivisor % and the pto rpm rise, exelent function
Hope you understood my Norwegian/English mix ))
Still mutch to learn, but i start to understand the local dealer that says "i mean the 7400 series is the best MF", i love this tractor more and more no that i learn to use it.

Belive me...maybe you will hate it the first two weeks if you not have had your own VT before, but after some time you will love it.
Read everything in this thread and you will learn alot of the most important.

You have 3 speeds on it 540/540e/1000
Just throttle when in lever mode

Yes use the left dot matrix screen

 

[Antares 6]

Yes use the left dot matrix screen

Thanks, that seems easier/not so complicated to operate than the Datatronic 3.

I try agein, look at the photo, i not get up this symbol on the screen when speed/rpm drops uphill, the speed and rpm just drops, is it possible that the engine underspeed supervisor is turned of/not active ?

I suppose its possible the supervisor dial doesn't work but i think I've explained a way to check earlier on this thread
