Continuously variable Transmission for Tractors

Continuously variable transmission for tractors

The continuously variable transmission for tractors

Just a simple touch and the continuously variable transmission for tractors regulates the speed down to a standstill, changes the direction of motion, and shifts the gears up until a predefined speed is reached. In a similarly convenient way, the controller also manages work in the field. The driver selects an appropriate driving strategy and the transmission control unit coordinates the engine, driveline, and power take off for optimal working speed at low fuel consumption. The driver is totally unaware that the power is being distributed by a continuously variable hydrostatic line and a planetary transmission, and in addition that the main clutch and various internal clutches are also being controlled - he simply controls everything with a single lever.

Intelligent driving management simplifies handling

The continuously variable transmission for tractors adds a new dimension to intelligent driving management, i.e. comfortable work management. The variety of tractor procedures - especially the extremely fine measures of driving and working force when working in a field - require ingenious driveline management. Automated functions offload the driver. The driver can start under load without using a clutch; only the continuously variable adjustments of the power ratio are used. Likewise, without using a clutch, it is possible to reverse direction, starting at any speed, by simply touching the direction-of-motion lever.

The farmer's copilot

With the continuously variable tractor transmission the farmer has all functions in reach for driving and working conveniently. The engine speed and driving speed can be regulated independent of each other depending on the application and how much power is needed. With allwheel drive, implement shafts on both sides, and a hydraulic system for work operations, the continuously variable transmission provides all the driveline functions of a modern tractor.
