V-Drive Continuous Transmission
Posted: 2 April 2025
Our advanced V-Drive continuous transmission, now available on large high-flow telehandler models (TL34.65HF, TL38.70HF & TL43.80HF), optimizes your workflow by eliminating the need for manual gear shifts. It automatically adjusts speed based on driving conditions, letting you accelerate from 0 to 40 km/h without stopping the machine. With V-Drive, your telehandler also offers enhanced comfort, quieter operation, and a lower total cost of ownership (TCO). Key features like the Maximum Speed Limiter, Stop & Start function, Cruise Control, and ECO-Ride come as standard, all contributing to a smoother, more efficient experience.
Get Superior Performance
The V-Drive transmission efficiently transfers engine power to the wheels, allowing your machine to take on everything from uneven ground to smooth surfaces. It also features a dual hydraulic motor system in series, which eliminates the need for a gearbox.
Hydrostatic speeds, Turtle and Rabbit, are always selectable via the joystick. However, we've fine-tuned the speed curves for specific applications:
- Turtle speed: Loader mode, ranging from 0 to 20 km/h
- Rabbit speed: Drive mode, ranging from 0 to 40 km/h
The V-Drive Telehandler also comes with Cruise Control, letting you maintain speed without using the throttle pedal. This enhances performance, improves safety, and gives you better control while reducing operator effort. Whether you're driving on the road or working at low speeds with attachments like a sweeper, feeding bucket, or straw blower, Cruise Control helps you stay focused on the task. Plus, with tractor homologation, these models are certified for public road use and support vehicle registration plates.
Smooth Operation
The V-Drive transmission automatically adjusts speed modes based on driving conditions, eliminating manual gear shifts for a smoother, quieter ride. With a 60% reduction in vibrations and the removal of the transmission’s whistle sound, it ensures a more comfortable and focused workday.
Environmentally Friendly
The continuous transmission is not only smooth but also environmentally friendly. With features like the adjustable Stop & Start function, it reduces engine noise and conserves fuel by automatically stopping the engine when idle, reducing considerably pollutant emissions. Cruise Control helps optimize fuel consumption while reducing disturbances for you, your livestock, and your neighbors.
Optimize Your Ride
Another key benefit of our V-Drive transmission? It saves you money! The intelligent and unique ECO-Ride function optimizes engine RPM for better fuel efficiency, while the Stop & Start feature reduces operating time and increases resale value. The reliable performance and low maintenance requirements of this incredible transmission also mean fewer unexpected costs. That’s more cash in your pocket and less strain on your budget.
Enjoy Even Better Traction
V-Drive transmission ensures exceptional traction for a smoother, quieter, and more efficient ride—free from jerks, even when hauling fully loaded trailers. It effortlessly adapts to any terrain, offering best-in-class grip and stability. Whether you're tackling rough ground or slippery surfaces, you can rely on consistent, seamless performance every time.
