The 9600 Series, built at AG

offer several outstanding features
as standard equipment; including
the full powershift transmission,
an improved deluxe, iso-mounted
cab and an air-cooled, turbo
charged diesel engine.
Providing 18 forward and nine
reverse speeds, the new full
powershift transmission allows
shifting on-thc-go with single

curately provides a vast range of
forward and reverse speed incre
ments. The same lever controls
shuttle shifting from forward to
reverse without clutching.
Pulse shifting and electronic
control allow the automatic
“speed matching” feature to effi
ciently and instantly match trans
mission gear to engine speed and
ground speed. Preselected forward
or reverse shuttle speeds make fre
quent speed and direction changes
easy for loader applications.
“The new full powershift trans
mission is just one of the high-tech
features that separates the 9600
series from the competition,” said
Shumejda. “The farmer will get
more work done faster with the
full powershift feature and will be
much more comfortable doing it
with the improved deluxe cab.”
The cab-forward design of the
9600 Series provides a smoother,
more comfortable ride. Fifteen
inches farther forward and two
inches higher than previous mod
els, the cab’s location allows for a
better view of what is in front and
to the sides. It also greatly im

tering and exiting the cab. A fold
ing passenger seat with a seatbelt
has been added to the left console.
The throttle and transmission
controls have been consolidated in
the operator’s seat itself. Located
in the seat’s right-hand control
console, this arrangement makes
shifting movements comfortable

A one-piece hood that tilts up

that removes without tools, make
for easy access to the Deutz in-line
six cylinder, air-cooled, turbo
charged diesel engine. This rug
ged, low-maintenance, state-of
the-art engine is designed to de
velop high torque rise while being
fuel efficient.
The optional all-wheel-drive
(standard on the 9690) has been
redesigned to allow on-the-go en
gagement for added convenience.
