Never had a CVT, at least not yet, they seem to
becoming the trend. While I have had powershift
and syncro/powershift tractors. Tractors with
synchronized transmission, and old tractors with a
great bow never built to shift on the go. All the
tractors I have owned, with their different
transmissions work well enough in the field. It?s
when you need to haul a load down the road the
difference starts to really show up. Farms get farther
apart, and loads get bigger and heavier, so harder
to get them rolling and keep them rolling on hills.
Which style of transmission works best for you? I
am not a huge fan of straight powershift, really liked
the combination of synchronized gears and
powershift my old 5140CaseIH tractor had. Just get
feed up with trying to road travel with a old tractor
like my IH 966 , fine in the field with its TA, but just a
drag to haul down the road. What?s your experience
been?
