What's the general view on this transmission? Used a 6150r with it for a couple of days this week. Never encountered it before, most of the Rs around here seem to be AutoQuad.
They make plenty of hp at the shaft even over AP and PQ.
Do they run different software to tractors with other gearboxes?
Don't understand how sitting static on a dyno the gearbox will affect pto hp.

Not driven one myself but some say there can be a frustrating delay between range changes under some conditions ??
Absolutely no benefit over ever of them auto power all the way for me you won't understand how much better vario is until you've owned oneWhat benefit is direct drive over auto quad or even a vario?
No they don't the thing with a auto power is they are so smooth and always keep the engine at peak power other thing I hate on dd is get to a junction and you've got 8 gears to get back to full speed again and unlike a aq you have to go through each gear. I'm not trying to take anything away from the dd it is a brilliant box probably the best powershift on the market but not a patch on a varioWould the direct drive outperform the auto power on transport work?

I couldn't agree more. I owned a 6930 Vario which I loved but changed it for a 6150r direct drive. If anyone has an option to upspec from a quad box go straight to a varioNo they don't the thing with a auto power is they are so smooth and always keep the engine at peak power other thing I hate on dd is get to a junction and you've got 8 gears to get back to full speed again and unlike a aq you have to go through each gear.
