If you use 1st gear with a soft footing you'll dig holes 1st gear produces too much wheel torque and the hydraulics are too fast. Use 2nd gear when loading the bucket. Wheel torque is easier to control and hydraulic speed is better matched.
As they said in the video ADAPT engine rpm to prevent wheels from slipping. In other words don't keep the throttle mashed on the floor. I been working in very soft sand for 14 years and never had an issue using 1st gear. Running higher gears when digging runs higher risk of causing transmission and converter damage or premature wear.
Ill be operating this machine next week, really looking forward to it.
How was it?
Vous avez une bonne formation

This is also automatic is it?
@@arne524 it can be if selected by the operator.
Maybe you just need to learn how to drive, i always use 1st gear when i load the bucket, i never dig holes.
