Continuously variable transmission tractors prove beneficial for many different tasks

摘要

Potatoes are normally one crop that farmers tend to grow themselves but for one contracting family it has proved a niche market. TRACTORS with continuously variable transmissions are proving their worth for Doncastei hased contractor B. and M. Chappell. With four step- less transmission tractors now part of the seven strong fleet the infinite working speed is particularly useful at maximising output in potatoes. "Nearly 10 years ago we went to see a potential customer about applying suspension fertiliser and ended up taking on 140 acres of potato work from the ground preparation right through to harvesting," explains Brian Chappell.
