Howdy! Just need a step-by-step instruction on starting and operating a JD 440 Skidder. Never moved one before. Just need to know how to move it forward and backward. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
You gots the syncro range.
Range side also has a park function that is all the way forward on the inside shift lever.
First step on clutch.
Then inside shift lever move it ro the second position(2-5)
Then outside lever all the way back is reverse all the wsy forward low forward. The slolom in the middle is high gear just up from ther nuetral...
Any way pick one.. bump thr hand throttle up a wee bit past idle and let the clutch out like a car... though it will grab and take off nearly instantly...
From there you should be able to shift be tween high and low like a car, complete stop to go into reverse or change ranges
Range side top down park, 1-3, 2-5, 4-7, 6-8
L-N-H-R on main side

Still waiting on pics of all this equipment you ownInteresting setup. All I run have been power shift. One with a converter, one direct (direct pulls better imo)
