| The AGCO CVT is a proven design with over 50,000 units in the field and the longest history (Since 1996) in the CVT market. The AGCO CVT comes from the Fendt Technology (AGCO Sister Company). The AGCO CVT has NO Clutch Paks or Clutches (Less Maintenance). Less Parts than a gear drive transmission. Plus you have more speed at 0.1 MPH increaments with the AGCO and more control from 60ft per hour to 35 mph or optional 32 mph version. F/R Left Hand Reverser, Arm Rest Control, SV1/SV2 Preset Speed Controls, Foot Pedal Mode. More ways to control but you can simply drive it by using the F/R Reverser only until you learn the function to maximize efficiency. You can have 2 sets of SV1/SV2 presets in each range work and road for a total of 4 total presets. Plus 2 preset engine speeds. And over 91% efficiency of putting horsepower to the ground - more efficient than any other transmission style!
HydraMAXX front Axle has 11 degrees oscillation, 55 degree turn angle, electro hydraulic PFA engagement with diff lock standard. You can turn the front axle on or off. If you do not want axle suspension (ex. loader work) or it has a problem - you can still use the tractor with the front suspension turned off. It works as a rigid front axle.
AGCO/SISU engines have been great. This isn't a new engine but new to the AGCO tractors. In 2004, SISU sold over 27,000 engines. They are used in a variety of other applications beside AGCO tractors. Kohmatsu,Steyr, and many other companies use SISU engines. Very big in the Marine Industry and Pump and Gear Sets. Every AGCO engine is manufactured by an engine builder that does the assembly and final testing and placards the engine with their name. This gives pride to the engine builder and traceability versus mass produced assembly line engines. Each engines internal rotating group is balanced to the nearest gram (like balancing a tire) and the only other place you see this done is race car engines in North America. They are very high tech engines and are ahead of the EPA regulations. Go to the agcocorp.com website and learn more. Been nothing but impressed. They also develope peak torque at low RPMS vs. the old engines developed peak near max engine speed. This allows you to reduce engine RPMs and fuel usage and with the CVT maintain the same ground speed. Engine and Transmission work together.
The GTA console does more than control Hydraulics. It is a performance monitor that you can calculate fuel usage and cost per acre. It can be used to set Headlands features that can be preprogrammed manullly or they can record a live sequence, plus they can be edited if you did something out of order or missed a function. The GTA Console can also be now used as the monitor for an everyday expanding line-up of equipment. WHITE Planters and HESSTON balers now use the GTA console in tractor for the monitor if so equipped this is the ISOBUS compliant. One contection and your ready to go. The GTA console also is used with Autosteer guidance system it displays the path and area of coverage and how you set the guidance up. As you can see it's everything you need in one monitor.
Hope this helps. Our customers just rave about the CVT and AGCO engines. Had one in today just to tell me how much he likes it and the fuel savings he is getting. We don't get many stopping in to tell us "good news" stories around here. Usually if you don't hear from a customer it's good. But these CVT and AGCO engines are really stopping in or calling me telling how much they love their tractors. Not very common for dealers. They also tell me how their using the tractors in more ways and being more efficient. That helps us all. If farmers can make more money and become more efficient they can put more in the bank and be here tomorrow. | |

Lots of AGCO RT questions (vs. JD 7000 series)
