Gear selection system for a harvester

摘要

A method and a system are disclosed for selecting the final drive gear ratio in a harvester. The method comprises the steps of selecting the desired ratio by manually depressing a button (54) on a control panel (52), automatically activating a brake (32) to bring the harvester to a standstill in response to the depression of the button (54) on the control panel (52), and activating a gear selection mechanism (40, 46, 48) to select the desired gear ratio only after the harvester has come to a complete stop.
