[QUOTE="Cowabunga, post: 515295, member: 718"] They are actually fairly simple. More complex than a Ford 5000 but less so than a four speed semi-powershift with six speed synchro box, like a JD Power-quad I'd say. There's a pump and a motor, an epycyclic, a high/low range, a few rams to turn the pump and motor, a couple or three shafts and a front propshaft brake. All of the clever stuff that you have control over as a driver and all the automatic functions are just what the computer does to control the pumps and motors. I can see no reason on earth why skilled mechanics could not repair these transmissions if given some training and had parts available to them. From its inception and up to today, Fendt want to keep control on the quality of any repairs done and to inconvenience customers as little as possible by having cassette type factory exchange units. The customer gains from minimum downtime [not in this case, but Fendt has to verify that this qualifies for warranty replacement and there's a lot of money involved] and a full warranty on the repair. In this particular case, although the CVT unit and transmission case will be replaced, because it will probably be a full warranty repair the actual warranty on the replacement will run out at the same time as for the rest of the tractor. Normally when a customer pays for the repair you would expect a six or twelve month warranty on the parts bought of course. Edit I'm mixing up two different topics here it seems. That's what comes of not paying attention. Never mind, it is quite relevant to both topics. [/QUOTE]
