Combines what the heck does this two speed hydro thingy doIJ

[shellman]

The two speed hydro is normally utilized with a power guide axle. When the high side of the two speed is engaged it destrokes the hydro motor resulting in less displacement for the motor thus a corresponding increase in motor rpm. Without the two speed when you engage the pga your ground speed is drops about 30% due to the added volume of the pga motors. If you have a true rice machine you should have two oil coolers for the hydro, a lower geared transmission, and an IPO valve in the hydro, which basicallyl shifts the hydro motor back to low range when the hydro drive pressure gets above about 3500 psi if memory serves correctly. If you have any other questions e-mail at besthornb@bartonccc.edu.

Here in the Midwest, we use the two-speed hydros to run across the end rows to dump. I have used it running across the field before, but I am worried of the hydraulic oil heating up or putting too much load on the hydro and causing it to slip. It can be used in 1st and 2nd gears. I have heard of people doing a little wiring and allowing it to be usable in 3rd gear for a faster highway speed.

The switch for the lockout is located at the base of the gearshift under the large plastic fuse area cover. A bend of the micro switch arm is all that is required to run faster in 3rd. But be extra careful on roads. IT CAN REAllY MOVE.
