Some John Deere Changes

Any word on a re-consideration of the 0%/36 mo. finanancing?

The key to the whole deal is how the motor and transmission respond to how far the pedal is being depressed...it acts like a gas pedal in your vehicle...the next evolution of HST in the tractor market.

I'm confused? Whats the point? If its just a hydrostatic with F/R on a shifter rather than on the pedal it almost seems like a step backwards. Now if they where doing an IVT transmission or somthing, that would be cool!

I guess the point is "options"

My understanding is that the "accelerator" pedal will act differently from a true hydro pedal and the tractor will adjust to retain the throttle-set RPM level. In this sense it is like a CVT, but the details.....it's all ball bearings to me. I originally thought the same thing as did MFE, but I was assured this was not merely a repositioning of the direction lever but more than that.

sounds kinda like a power reverser with hydro and
no need for a clutch...

One big savings is fuel economy since you can leave the throttle at idle. You still have the option to override the feature by adjusting the throttle to where you want it. This update will be an option the ehydro versions are still going to be available

I kinda like the idea of less gadgets, less to go wrong, easier to afford the product in the first place, and less maintenence.
Yea, I think the return of the 0%/36mo may be the clincher for the 3320 upgrade.

Okay.... so what they are releasing is somthing to compete with Kubota's Auto-Throttle.

They can release it, and upgrade it, but I may not be able to BUY it unless the bring back that 0%/36mo deal.
