IIRC the new finals have 20 lugs, for a more durable wheel connection.
Separating the oil is smart. No need for one failure to contaminate the whole machine.
I’m curious, how would a transmission failure with the old system contaminate the whole hydraulic system? The oil in the transmission couldn’t get into the hydrostatic motor that was driving it and contaminate the system, please explain. It sounds like to me that there are all kinds of new possibilities for problems as these machines get older, I think about these things because used combines are what we have to buy. There isn’t any reason they couldn’t have just made a stronger yet still simple new transmission that doesn’t need its own software. This stupid crap never ends!
It wouldn't have, but I think he's saying it's nice they didn't add something that COULD contaminate the whole system.
You do realize the Gleaner hasn't had a shift, or a hydro cable since 2016, right? I would say the S9 is one of the BEST Gleaner combines EVER, and the drive system controls have been VERY reliable...so we really didn't ADD anything to the drivetrain control, just changed it's arrangement.
Actually, we could have simplified it, we used to have shifter modules, sensors, a park brake valve, etc...now most of that is self contained in the new transmission. There, happy now?
