TechStar™ CVT Transmission

Optional on all MT500B models, the TechStar CVT (continuously variable transmission) provides the operator with stepless, infinite control of ground speed from 0 to 25 mph—or 32 mph on models equipped with the optional front-axle suspension system.

To increase or decrease ground speed, the operator simply pushes a speed lever on the right hand console forward or back, or holds the Power Control lever on the steering column in the forward or reverse position.

 

 

All the while, the transmission is constantly adjusting for the most efficient combination of engine speed and transmission ratio, whatever the load.

By using both its mechanical and hydrostatic capabilities at the same time, the TechStar CVT not only operates more efficiently, but it does so without preset gear limits. With stepless variable speed, you have access to the power reserves, as well as the speed choices, normally hidden in the areas between gears.

In addition, the TechStar CVT offers two preferred working speeds that can be preset with console controls. Once set, the speeds are shown on a digital screen on the dash display. The operator simply rotates the appropriate speed/velocity dial to select the desired travel speed in increments of .01 mph.
