New Holland Boomer CVT benefits over hydrostatic in High RPM/heat

[Gittyup]

there are a very few cars out there with CVT and from what I've heard, the mfgrs are still working out the kinks. If they were perfected and as reliable, and as economical to make and maintain as a hydro, there would be a lot of them in use.

There aren't a lot of them in use.



All machines get hotter as they are worked harder. It's a law of physics...not a phenomenon.

I don't know which gets hotter first, the engine or the tranny, but one is not heating the other. Each has it's own cooling system.

This is becoming less and less true. Almost all (if not all) Nissans are CVT. And so are some subarus and Toyotas. I think there are even some new generation Fords with it too.

Evidently most all the commercial front end loaders and backhoes designed for loader work are made wrong.
Any I have ever operated use a shuttle lever to forward/reverse and the foot peddle was the throttle and they worked great for loader work.

yup, one hand on the wheel, one hand on the loader controls and one hand on the shuttle lever.

Oh, wait a minute ?!?!?!?!?!
