How can I make faster headland turns?
TG Series controls, including the Forward- Neutral- Reverse,
independent throttle, and hydraulic remote levers, are
located on your righthand armrest control. The armrest
is adjustable and travels with your seat so the controls
are always in the perfect position for operation.
You can simplify headland turns with two convenient switches
located side-by-side on the armrest console—the Hitch
Up/Down Switch and the Transmission Up/Down Switch.

Making tight headland turns is easy with a
New Holland TG tractor.
|
|
First, program the number of gears—from one to four—that
you want to downshift for your turn at the headland. Then, at
the end of the row, simply depress both buttons rearward to
downshift and raise the implement. After turning, depress both
buttons forward to shift up and lower the hitch. When working
with trailed implements, the Transmission Up/Down Switch can
be used in the same convenient manner.
End-of-row convenience

You can simplify headland turns with the two
convenient switches located side-by-side on the
armrest console.

|
To make an even tighter headland turn with your TG tractor,
simply place the FWD rocker switch and the differential
lock rocker switch in their automatic position. These
two switches are located on the right side armrest control,
and enable each system to be engaged in the automatic
mode, the manual mode, or the disengaged mode.
When operating in the automatic mode with hitch-mounted
implements, the FWD and differential lock will automatically
disengage when the hitch is raised out of the ground,
and re-engage when the hitch is lowered.
When operating in the automatic mode with trailing implements,
the system functions the same way. You notify the system
of the headland turn by slightly depressing and holding
one of the tractor’s brake pedals.

Other productivity features
Automatic road operation
The TG transmission converts to an automatic transmission with
the push of the Auto Shift button on the right-hand armrest
control console. For Automatic Road Operation, push the Auto
Shift button when you are in gears 13 and above and you can
operate the tractor using only the throttle.
|
Automatic Field Operation engages in gears at 12 and
below. The transmission will automatically maintain tractor
performance under varying loads in the field based on
throttle, engine speed and engine load. When the tractor
encounters a load, the transmission automatically downshifts,
then when conditions improve, returns to the gear that
was in use when you pressed the Auto Shift button.
“Cruise” control
The electronic engine management of the TG255 and TG285
provide you with a "cruise control" feature
with the Constant Engine Speed option. You can set the
maximum engine speed and maintain that exact engine rpm
for field applications such as planting and spraying.
At the headland, simply reduce engine rpm with the throttle,
make your turn, and push your throttle full forward to
attain the pre-set constant engine speed.
