StarGate hydrostatic transmission
Greater comfort in total safety.
The Continuously Variable Transmission, unlike the mechanical transmission, allows the direction of travel to be reversed and the forward speed to be precisely adjusted to cope with sudden changes in work conditions, without having to stop and without having to operate the clutch, gearbox or inverter lever.
Using only the EasyGrip lever on the handlebar, the operator can increase or decrease the speed of the two-wheel tractor depending on ground conditions, grass density or snow compactness, or quickly reverse direction to manoeuvre around trees or obstacles.
Speed variation and reversing also occur independently of the PTO and engine speed, which means that the implement is always working at maximum speed.
The work conditions are thus more relaxed and comfortable, especially in difficult operational situations, on uneven ground, during manoeuvres around obstacles or at the end of the field.
Technical aspects and advantages of the innovation.
- Light alloy monolithic drive structure to make the machine easy to manoeuvre.
- Hydrostatic drive with integrated compact unit and mounted directly on the transmission box for greater effectiveness in two-wheel drive.
- PTO mechanically connected to the engine for minimum energy dissipation, torque always available for work and reduced heating and fuel consumption.
- The active and passive oil cooling system using the same gearbox and the airflow using the dedicated fan.
- Mechanical disengagement of the wheel axle in order to allow machine movement even with the engine turned off.
- Simplified maintenance with the whole hydrostatic component easily accessible and with the oil filter in common with the clutch circuit.
