| Yea, because putting the shuttle lever in forward or reverse and then pushing it (or the lever that your right hand is resting on) ahead to speed up or back to slow down is really difficult.... I sometimes wonder how you people figured out how to drive a vehicle if you find driving an AGCO CVT hard. Oh wait, one button push and it will drive exactly like your pickup, push the pedal down to speed up, let it up to slow down. Just because you can customize it to do anything you want, doesn't mean you have to or even need to. Just sit down, shuttle it to the direction you want to go, and go.
I can't speak for the case, but between the IVT and CVT, hands down the CVT wins in my opinion. As far as efficiency goes, the only way to "prove it" would be two tractors weighted the exact same, same tires, same field, same implement, same everything.... Outside of that, it is a given that every gear mesh power is transfered through creates 1-2% parasitic loss, count the gear meshes in each. | |
