Claas Gamma "Cmatic"

In the field of agricultural mechanization, continuously variable gearboxes represent the mechatronic point of reference as regards power transmission. Their simplicity and immediacy of use, combined with mechanical performances increasingly similar to those offered by traditional powershift gearboxes, have made them a priority choice also by those operators who mainly use their tractors in heavy field activities and therefore until yesterday they tended to favor powershift transmissions. This is mainly due to a design approach based on an epicyclic system that progressively and continuously redistributes the driving torque supplied by…

An entire generation of young people was almost completely lost, which dramatically resulted in a labor shortage that agriculture had to address with a significant increase in the demand for machinery. It was in…
