Two speeds to do more

摘要

John Deere is introducing a two- speed option to its mid-frame 318D and 320D skid-steer loader models. Ground speed is increased by as much as 62% on both manual and E/H controls machines, from 6.8 to 11 mph. It is engineered to provide a second gear for a variety of work, including landscaping, highway, bridge and municipal. Shift-on-the-go capability allows operators to kick into higher travel speeds with a simple flip of a toggle switch on the left-hand joystick. Electronically controlled shifting allows for seamless transition during upshifts and downshifts.
