Tractors' automatic controls save time, improve efficiency
AGCO® LT, RT and DT Series tractors, 70 to 225 PTO horsepower (52 to 168 PTO kilowatt), feature technologies such as the Auto Quadrashift®, Spool Valve Management System (SMS), and Trailed Implement Control (TIC) to help farmers increase productivity. Auto QuadraShift® simplifies operation by eliminating the manual functions normally used to operate the 32 forward x 32 reverse transmission. With PowerControl Shuttle, the operator controls direction and four-speed power shifts for on-the-go gear and range changes. The auto feature changes powershift speeds automatically as the working conditions of the tractor change. The SMS with Datatronic controls two electro-hydraulic proportional valves allowing precise flow rate and valve kick-out timing adjustment for more productive implement management. TIC is also available to automatically adjust the working depth of the trailed implement, enabling full draft control.
