V-SHIFT CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION

The Series 7 Stage V tractor range has been designed to provide modern farmers with pulling power and versatility. The V-Shift continuously variable transmission gives the Stage V Series 7 all the flexibility required to handle all kinds of tasks and field conditions. Combining a powerful engine and a V-Shift four-stage continuously variable transmission with four planetary gear trains and oil-cooled clutches, the Series 7 Stage V delivers responsive performance making work easier and safer. The V-Shift transmission offers four speed ranges with advance speeds from 40 m/h to 50 km/h ensuring maximum productivity in any application.

The V-Shift transmission with its four-stage technology sets a new benchmark in continuously variable transmissions. Using a four-stage instead of the usual two-stage CVT transmission offers real benefits to farmers and agricultural contractors looking for maximum productivity in any application.

This transmission offers four speed ranges to suit different operating requirements:

• Range 1 Creeper 0.5 – 3 km/h
• Range 2 Field 1 0.5 – 12 km/h
• Range 3 Field 2 0.5 – 21 km/h
• Range 4 Transport 0.5 – 40 or 50 km/h

The V-Shift transmission features four operating modes:

1.  Auto Mode - The electronic unit controls the engine rpm and transmission ratio, based on the parameters set on the potentiometer, in order to achieve the required speed.
2.  Manual Mode - The operator sets the engine speed with the hand throttle. The electronic unit controls the transmission ratio in order to achieve the required speed.
3. PTO Mode - The operator sets the engine speed with the hand throttle. The electronic unit controls the transmission ratio in order to achieve the required speed. In this mode, priority is given to the PTO speed.
4. Cruise Mode - The operator selects the tractor travel speed, which remains constant.
