PERFORMANCE

without interruption of torque delivery
Maximum synergy is achieved with a new transmission that combines Merlo’s experience in the
field of hydrostatic transmissions with new technical solutions that afford the same performance,
consumption and productivity as a conventional Continuously Variable Transmission.
This system, designated Merlo CVTronic, is comprised of two hydrostatic motors with axial pistons
and variable displacements that are supplied with oil by a load sensing hydrostatic pump driven
directly from the diesel engine.
Both motors work together to deliver the maximum amount of torque within the speed bands used
for materials handling and open field work.
In transport, the second hydraulic motor, which is connected to the gearbox via a clutch, is
completely disengaged by the electronic control unit.
The transition is performed automatically with no torque interruption.
All the oil from the pump is then directed to the main hydraulic motor, which drives the MF 40.9 at
speeds of up to 50 km/h, where local restrictions permit.
These solutions will be gradually extended to all the models in the Turbofarmer range, making
them even more competitive.
These solutions will be gradually extended to all the models in the Turbofarmer range.
