Dual Clutch Transmissions (DCT) combine the efficiency of manual gearboxes with the convenience of automatic systems. They enable fast, smooth gear shifts by using two clutches operating in parallel.The technology is increasingly used across automotive and off-road applications, including agricultural machinery, where maintaining power delivery under load is critical.

What Are DCT Transmissions?

HP (horsepower) and CV (metric horsepower) are both units used to measure engine power, with only minor differences between them. Understanding these distinctions is important for interpreting specifications across different markets.

What’s the difference between HP and CV?

PowerShift transmissions allow operators to change gears without interrupting engine power delivery. The technology improves productivity, traction, and operator comfort, particularly in agricultural and heavy-duty machinery.Widely used in modern tractors and other self-propelled equipment, PowerShift systems enable rapid gear changes under load, helping machines maintain performance during demanding field operations.

What Are PowerShift Transmissions?

Controlled Traffic Farming (CTF) is an agricultural management strategy designed to reduce soil compaction.

What is CTF?

Load Sensing is an intelligent hydraulic system that adjusts flow and pressure according to actual work demand. It improves efficiency, reduces energy consumption, and optimizes overall equipment performance.

What Is Load Sensing?

Common Rail is a high-pressure electronic fuel injection system for diesel engines that improves performance, reduces fuel consumption, and lowers pollutant emissions.

What Is Common Rail?

Continuously Variable Transmissions (CVT) eliminate traditional gear shifts, providing smoother driving, improved efficiency, and better adaptability to changing operating demands.

What Are CVT Transmissions?

Key aspects of a system that allows hydraulic power to be transferred to additional implements without affecting the tractor’s other functions.

What Is Power Beyond?
