The best of both worlds with DualTech VT

DualTech VT is the world’s first and only 2 in 1 variable transmission (hydrostatic and powershift), available on the AGRISUPER, AGRIXTRA and AGRIPRO models.

Providing a seamless transition from hydrostatic to powershift modules, DualTech VT enables precise low-speed manoeuvring control and smooth, progressive response for loading and handling cycles. For exceptional efficiency and productivity - 20% over equivalent competitor telehandlers.

What is hydrostatic transmission?

The hydrostatic drive module of the DualTech VT machine transmission uses an electronically controlled hydraulic pump and motor combination to provide fast response, fine speed adjustment and infinitely variable working speeds up to 19-22kph.

What is powershift transmission?

When an Agri Loadall's speed exceeds 19-22kph, whether in the field or on the road, the DualTech VT automatically switches to its powershift system. This uses direct mechanical drive gears to shift smoothly up to a true 50kph speed.

DualTech Benefits

On acceleration beyond 19-22kph, DualTech VT automatically switches to the powershift module. With no torque converter needed, direct mechanical drive in each gear makes the most of available torque to deliver quick acceleration, strong hill climbing ability and the impetus to maintain speed on inclines.

DualTech Features

In drive mode, acceleration influences both hydrostatic output and engine speed, with the control electronics balancing the two according to the driver's demands. Precision inching is available through the brake pedal - initial movement progressively disengages hydrostatic drive, giving the operator total control when pushing into a stockpile with no wear and tear on the brakes.

Available on three agricultural Loadalls

DualTech VT transmission is available on the SUPER, XTRA and PRO models.
