But once over the hill they should reduce revs by a fair bit compared to most powershifts and at that point be more efficient.
The end of the line for MF

Think they are still trying to make one.

If I never drove a tractor with a regular gearbox again it wouldn't bother me a jot. Vario is the way forward. Easier on machine and operator alike and never ever stuck between gears ever again. The way they drop the revs back on transport work is a dream really.

Look fairly well priced compared to NH/MF, still waiting on JD price, didn't bother with fendt,all mental prices though!
A cvx is a 4 speed powershift with a bit of vario in between each gear. Good system for getting hp through the box, potentially bad for having clutch packs that could wear out for each gear plus another pack for reverse.. Real vario is zero to full speed completely uninterrupted. But low speeds have a high percentage of hydro which For pulling tattie kit, mowers and balers is just fine. Point a heavy trailer up a real hill and the losses at 10k forward speed make 220 horse feel like 180.. very disappointing. I take it your 4220 is tired on hills too..

That is were TMS in the fendt walks all over the Mf with dyna Vt box , set the min & max rpms in the TMS for road work & a way you go.
That’s just down to (High)gear ratios selected by the manufacturer and driver input. Makes no difference at all to downhill performance. A good driver will upshift immediately the load reduces anyway. No modern tractors run at full speed at full revs do they??
Shows what you know about VT's, perfectly possible to do the same on a 76 or 77

You can set them on a MF.

Only MF Dyna VT we have is in a 7480 & is good as a yard tractor on the diet feeder

You can play with MF all day long & you will never make it as good a Fendt the sofeware is different & it shows when you have both
That depends how much the operator fiddles with the settings
How old is it?

I don’t have buy nearly dozen tractors before I realised I didn’t like them, kind of makes me a better judge in the matter.
With all due respect things have moved on from the 7480, you're not comparing eggs with eggs

after two Mf 76 tractors with dyns 6 boxes , I had judged these tractors will bankrupt you better buy some thing else was a great move & i which i could do all our work with one tractor but we need a fleet of 7 to keep up with the work load

11 plate one of the last few made
Yes - therefore you are not well placed to form judgement on 76&77 DVT's
