The selected powershift is displayed on the digital display (1 to 4). It features an AutoClutch and two operating modes – AUTO mode and manual mode:  
  • Manual mode: the operator can shift through speeds and ranges without clutching by moving the control lever forward, toward the + indicator, or backward, toward the - indicator.
