VT-DRIVE
The VT-Drive transmission
The VT-Drive transmission is a continuously variable transmission (CVT) developed by Argo Tractors that provides an infinite number of speed ratios from zero to the maximum speed permitted in the country of use. This transmission offers four speed ranges to suit different operating requirements:
RANGE 1 CREEPER 0.5 – 3 KM/H
RANGE 2 FIELD 1 0.5 – 12 KM/H
RANGE 3 FIELD 2 0.5 – 21 KM/H
RANGE 4 TRANSPORT 0.5 – 40 or 50 KM/H
The VT-DRIVE transmission features 4 operating modes
AUTO MODE
The electronic unit takes control of the engine speed and transmission ratio (in accordance with the settings of the droop potentiometer (P) (fig.B) integrated into the armrest) in order to achieve the required speed.
MANUAL MODE
The operator sets the engine speed using the hand throttle.
The electronic unit takes controls of the transmission ratio in order to achieve the required speed.
PTO MODE
The operator sets the engine speed using the hand throttle.
The electronic unit takes control of the transmission ratio in order to achieve the required speed with the PTO on.
CRUISE MODE
The operator selects the tractor travel speed and this remains constant.
