have had IVT tractors for 2 years now and the more i run it the better i like it. Went from after day one thinking we made a mistake with the IVT to now not wanting to run a PST tractor in just one year. Where it really shines is on implements like the field cultivator or our JD 2510H anhydrous bar where power requirements and speed very throughout the field. Why i love it is because i want to go as fast as the tractor will pull it. and with IVT it just pulls as fast as it can where it pulls hard but i have it set at 10 mph at the top end so when it pulls easy and gets to 10 it will just throttle back, you are never in the wrong gear like i was last year with our 8430 with powershift on the anhydrous bar. It seemed like i was always right between a gear. It is also nice on the planter because it just goes as fast as you set it. As for fuel economy i dont see it as any better than our other tractors but that being said you have to have a quality operator in the seat in a PST tractor and a contentious effort to keep the fuel economy good.
