In PTO mode adjustment of engine droop between 5% and 25% in
variable increments (1% minimum)
If field autoshift & PTO is on
•EcoDrive lever controls the engine droop
•The engine droop value pops-up temporarily on the display
•Transmission shifts down automatically when the engine droops
down to the value set with the EcoDrive
