Alternatively, it seems a lot of operators have problems with these type of transmissions when it comes to knowing how to hold them back on steep hillsIt seems a lot of the different makes of tractors, have problems with these type of transmissions when it comes to holding back on steep hills.
That's only if you are using 'Pedal Mode'. Stop using pedal mode and shift on the stick for this kind of work.How can it be the same as a power shift? A power shift will keep rolling without any acceleration. Dyna vt will try and stop the tractor if you take your foot off the accelerator.

No as soon as you use the stick it changes back to stick modeI take it you can’t use both on the red version? I.e drive on pedal but use the stick to hold back?

Huh... cant say its been a problem stopping the dyna-vt, no holding it back on hill neither.He never has a big enough load to hold back
use stick mode 100% of the time, pedal mode just aint right at all on a massey, it might be on a fendt but deffo no on my masseyNo as soon as you use the stick it changes back to stick mode
I’ve no issues on stick mode yet I appreciate where you’re coming from it takes some getting used, feather the brake/pump it, don’t brake hard or all the way just gentle whilst pulling back steady on the ‘stick’ should keep you right
It’s one of those things where you’ve got to learn it, a bit like a bite point on a clutch when hill starting
Agree with some of the other contributors don’t rush if you don’t feel safe, don’t need another accident and there’s no shame in being honest, your employer may not appreciate it and question your competence, but ask to be shown.
They’ve invested in the kit, I assume you’re paid an attractive rate to operate it, so it’s in there interest for you not to destroy a gearbox
Just have to correct that absolute falacy, often repeated but plain wrong, that the vario lacks engine braking. It has full engine braking just like any other transmission to the point, just like any other transmission that if you change to too low a ratio down hill you run the risk of overwhelming the engine’s compression and over revving it.There is no better trans imho once you learn how to use it.
They wouldnt fit these in every single FENDT if there was something better.
So satisfying just to get the right forward speed vs revs for any task.
If it has one flaw its the lack of proper engine braking like a fixed physical geared tractor, but you just drive it accordingly & you soon forgive it.
I can jump between this & my Dyna-6 Tractor tho no probs, but it feels a backwards step everytime.
