Automatic functions increase performance and efficiency VARIO OPERATION – EASY AS EVER Transmission control per joystick and engine control per foot pedal or hand throttle Driving forward Push the joystick for- ward; the Vario accelerates forward from standstill. Accelerate forward Not fast enough? Then push the joystick forward a bit longer, until you have reached the desired speed. Decelerate If you are going too fast, pull the joystick back and the Vario 800 brakes the engine and transmission. Reverse Pull the joystick back and the Vario reverses from standstill. Faster or slower reverse speeds function in the same way as for forward travel.
Rapid or slow acceleration How rapidly or slowly you accelerate or decelerate is determined by which of the four pre-set acceleration rates you select with the thumb control. Automatic forward/reverse Giving the joystick a quick tap to the left is all that is necessary to change driving direction from forward to reverse or vice versa. The Vario decelerates to a standstill by itself and then accelerates, with- out jerking, in the opposite direction. Tempomat cruise control The Tempomat holds the tractor at a constant pre-set speed. All that is required to activate it, is to give the joystick a quick tap to the right.

In the driving pedal mode, only the right foot is required to drive the tractor – similar to a car with an automatic transmission. The further the pedal is pressed down, the faster the tractor goes. The sliding control on the armrest sets the maximum speed that is attained when the pedal is pressed all the way down. If you release the pressure on the pedal, the 800 Vario TMS decelerates.
For an additional engine braking effect, the driver can also take over control of the TMS in the driving pedal mode and reduce the transmission ratio manually. NEW: NEW: The switch on the steering column adjustment lever has three functions: 1. Changing directions while driving. 2. Setting travel direction in the driving pedal mode. 3. Stop and go function with active parking func tion: If the switch is pressed while mov- ing, the tractor decelerates to a standstill. The tractor only starts to drive again when the switch has been released. This function provides even more com- fort for all work which requires frequent short stops. 9
