CVX on Diet Feeder

Is it bad that I dip the clutch with my hand so I don’t have to get the pedal dirty for that initial press?

You don't have dirt on your driving shoes do you

Sadly it’s usually wellies this time of year so there’s a cloth on the throttle pedal and exhaust brake

Really? That’s interesting. I find in mode 1 there’s not enough slowing down when you lift off. Feels like it’ll run on straight past the junction you want to stop at.
In mode 2 i can drive sympathetically using nothing other than the foot pedal and maybe an occasional dab of the exhaust brake. Almost never needing the actual brakes unless you have to stop quickly or meet a car on a lane for example.
I’m sure when I read the manual it said any mode could be used for any purpose to the users preference, but the last thing I want to do is cause undue wear on the box?

Was told that it would put more stress on the gearbox especially under heavy load. Don't want to take that risk even though the Cvx/Ac is relatively cheap to fix.

When we had our first one, the way the software was you could drive it on number 3 setting on the road no sweat at. Then after an update it was number 1, real slack with number 3 obviously being quite aggressive. Very rarely have it off 1 for everything these days.

Not read the whole thread, someone might have already said. On a case you can disengage the throttle from the gearbox by pressing a button or a combination of buttons I can't remember exactly. It will make the foot throttle become a normal throttle pedal. Gear ratio is still set by the hand lever position and you'll be able to rev up and down with foot pedal like a standard tractor... This might be what you're after?

Not to be snide or anything but that sounds like a horrible way to operate a CVT..

There is a manual button, maybe that the one you're thinking of.

I never use it that way but OP was wanting to change revs without altering gear ratio that would be the way to do it. I don't use clutch or foot throttle on our cvx just drive it like it's a hydrostatic on the hand lever

 

[Boysground]

That’s the same as the original Fendt system before TMS

Any tips for driving intermittently along feed barrier with CVX, and trying to rev it up, without it accelerating its ground speed?

Can’t see an issue . Set the pto revs on the hand throttle then set your forward speed on one of the ranges then dive via the foot pedal or use the gear lever as a hydro. This is what these tractors do best.

Using the pedal or the lever is one of the best features,on the Fendt you have to press the button on the armrest to switch between them.

No that's *A* way to do it, and it's honestly the worst option possible. Another, and better, way to do it is to just set revs with the hand throttle and move using the pedal, just like any other hydrostat..

Not really that onerous though, is it?

I suppose Fendt could be doing this so they can let the engine have two different maps- one for transport and the other for field work maybe?

 

[ColinV6]

Best feature is that the stick and pedal just work together seamlessly. Using the stick in the field just use the pedal and it’s instantly back to that again.

I actually think the stick is horrible to use on the road. Doesn’t feel natural at all.

Oh god, I pressed that button by mistake, brought the tractor to a stop very quickly. Was quite embarrassing as I was on the road at the time, going up a hill too!

It is because you have to look for the button,if you haven’t pressed it using the stick beeps at you.

The foot throttle and stick on a case both use a potentiometer on the Fendt only the pedal uses a potentiometer the stick uses can bus,the outcome is still the same,tms is the brains behind it.
