Case Puma cvx transmission

[colhonk]

Have tried the NH `s but found the stick awfull to use compared to red one. just my opinion for me.

 

[Drillman]

Correct me if I'm wrong but surely the NH sidewinder and you pull the stick 'back' it just slows the tractor to eventually a stop. Then if you select reverse and want to speed up you still have to push the stick forward? Or is it like a Massey powershift design and pull back to go faster in reverse?

Pull stick back to go quicker backwards

only logical way imo

If your travelling forward and pull NH stick back it slows to a stop then goes backward, so no need to select reverse, but it's alot harder to select zero speed, so not as easy to go between stick and pedal mode and know it's going to stop if you lift foot of pedal.
I'm happy selecting reverse on a case and knowing if I pull back fully on the stick when travelling in either direction tractor will come to a stop, with out having to look at screen or feel the zero position!

I use the cruise button a lot on the NH. Even if it’s not in cruise a double click engages then disengages it and puts it to zero.

Besides that ours if you pull back will come to a halt. The let go of lever so it centralises and pull back a 2nd time to start going backwards.

The cruise button double click sounds like a handy trick!
I think both versions have there pros and cons, and depends more on which 1 you have learned to use to its full.

Use both, a puma 160. Been a very good reliable easy to use tractor. Also a NH T7.315hd with the vario its nicer to be honest (the whole tractor is awsome) but iv not done any field work with it. The joystick is nicer in the nh but i prefer the button and dash layout in the case.

There seems to be perhaps confusion between the Teir 4 a and b versions?? I’ve only limited use on a demo years ago (2016) and remember it being pull back to stop, and another pull back for reverse as you say.

Mine is a 4B

Not saying that it's impossible to operate them, but New Holland control logic and button/switch layout was obviously devised by a deformed masochist recently released from a lunatic asylum

Boll-ocks its dead easy! Could throw anyone on mine and get them going within seconds.


Your obviously overthinking things when you get in one.

 

[daveydiesel1]

I find mine sluggish switching from forward to reverse compared to the Valtra and john deeres I've used but than that its a fine! can be very twitchy at low speeds too if you don't limit the pedal travel. A full rebuild including new brakes, a clutch pack and some niggly wiring issues sorting cost me £8300 this spring which was bloody painful but as vario rebuilds go I didn't think it was too bad.

Only thing if you had a agco vario go the replacement unit would have been factory rebuild instead of the local dealers which surely would be a better job

What exactly did you find troublesome? It’s so easy, the only thing I’d like is PTO on/off on the joystick too.

I would like front links connected to slip control. Be ideal for front press when drilling to get a bit of weight transfer back on the tractor.

And you gotta remember some folks prefer properly engineered tractors Like Deutz or is it Valmet or errr….. I struggle to keep up with all the chopping, changing and indecision!

I've only just started using our AC, that's a handy trick to know. Out of interest, how do you tackle hills with a heavy load behind? Also will the cruise trick work after letting off the exhaust brake? I've had a couple of hairy moments where it accelerates to the previous speed setting

 

[oldoaktree]

Own design, very user friendly, cheap to sort when they go wrong.l Keep the software up to date and it will be grand

I wouldn’t say £5k was cheep

Hills I leave it in cruise and if it’s revving too much I just turn the droop down a bit.

I knocked it out of cruise then use the exhaust brake,

I only ever use pedal mode round the yard wen hitching up to stuff

Cheaper than a powershit or semi powershit

Still £5 k is not cheep

It’s all relative. Compared to a postage stamp, no, compared to a space shuttle, yes!
