MN | I was thinking that to make it skip shift you'd need a transmission RPM to compare your requested gear to how fast the tractor was moving, then it would determine whether the transmission could skip shift or not. Not sure if that's needed or not.
We have an early 9170 caseih that doesn't skip shift, I understand the later ones do. I know very little about the 4994. I've been in a Case crab steer once in my life.
I think I have about 10 hours of actually figuring out programming for the Steiger controller, and 2-3 hours of putting it together on my desk. My 3 year old daughter sat on my lap and "tested" it for 1/2 an hour by making the actuator move back and forth while I was doing something else. Making a circuit board to run the solenoids would take a couple of hours.
Arduino has software you can download for free to program the controller. It's kind of like programming in C if you're familiar with computer programming. The steiger controller was the first controller I'd programmed in a long time.
You could spend a bunch of time perfecting a controller, but getting it working wouldn't take much. Getting smooth shifts and skip shift working would take some experimenting.
I've always been paranoid about costs. Too many years of getting chewed out by the bosses because something costs too much. Now the only boss I have is my wife.
If you're interested, I probably have time to get some thing going. Shoot me an email at sbeetfarmer nospam @yahoo.com remove the nospam to email if you're interested. I'm not sure what sending stuff to Canada entails, but I could find out. | |
