reverse speeds. This is achieved by using a three
forward and one reverse speed gearbox with
synchromesh on all gears. This is compounded by a
three speed range gearbox to give nine forward and
three reverse speeds. At the front of the gearbox there
is an electro/hydraulically operated Fast/Slow Speedshift
unit which doubles the number of speeds to 18 forward
and six reverse.

to give twelve speeds. A forward/reverse unit is situated
in front of the gearbox, all gears are synchromesh. A
creeper attachment is available with this transmission
with a reduction ratio of
4.7 : 1.
