control of propulsion and low-maintenance operation.
Hydrostatic pumps. Two variable displacement, hydrostatic
pumps are driven by the diesel engine and drive two fixed
displacement motors. Pumps are infinitely variable and
electronically controlled for starting and stopping ramps.
Speed control. Infinite speed selection within two propel
ranges: one in working mode and one in travel mode, to select
the best speed range according to operating modes.
Propulsion control. An electro-proportional servo-control
provides machine starting and stopping (for asphalt supply,
etc.) with no pre-set working speed variation.
Mechanical benefits. Because the system is completely
hydrostatic, there are no mechanical linkages such as gear
cases, transmissions or chains between the engine power
