rapports sous charge

French to English Tech/Engineering Automotive / Cars & Trucks tractors

La transmission PowrQuad Plus offre quatre rapports sous charge pour chacune des quatre gammes parfaitement synchronisées.

powershiftable

PowrQuad 16/16
This easy to operate 40km/h transmission features four powershiftable (no clutching required) speeds in each of the fully synchronized ranges for a total of 16 speeds. Plus, shifting from forward to reverse is accomplished with a separate left-hand direction lever and does not require clutching. Available on 6020 SE 4 cylinder tractors.

gear ratios under load

This from the JD website: "To meet the need for ergonomically friendly gear and speed selection, the PowrQuad PLUS transmission with electronic left-hand reverser is available on 6030 Series Tractors. Expanding on the popular and field-proven PowrQuad, this transmission builds on the same technology by incorporating a single range lever with push-button electronic gear shifting. The gear selector maximizes efficiencies of four powershiftable speeds in each of the fully synchronized ranges." which makes it reasonably clear
