PRODUCTIVITY AND PERFORMANCE
Engine Compartment The central positioned engine is covered by a stable hood which has a large opening for easy access. The left platform is fully cleared for easy access to the main tank and engine.
Easy Operation The HP model is always operated by the manual joystick. This intuitive operation makes the driver comfortable very quickly during field operation as well as during road transport. The brakes are activated by the brake pedal. The HP ECODRIVE model has a similar field operation as the HP model. During road transport the manual joystick only selects the driving direction. The driving pedal determines the speed and acceleration, whereas the brake pedal is operated when slowing down. The benefit is a very relaxed road transport operation, like a car with automatic gearbox or even better a continuously variable gearbox.
Reliable Wheel Motors The HP wheel motors are optimised on all levels. Most importantly the motors can supply higher power especially at low speed. They still consume less power, which is even more reduced at higher speeds. This efficiency saves fuel and is also more efficient with the available power. In combination with the ECODRIVE technology the user experiences a step-less speed variation providing power when it is needed and reducing engine RPM’s when possible. Continuous 4-wheel Drive The iXdrive has a smart hydraulic layout which guarantees a permanent 4-wheel drive. The hydraulic drive line is fed by 2 hydraulic pumps: one for the front axle and one for the rear axle. The oil flow for one axle can not go to one wheel only, resulting in a permanent traction on all 4 wheels. This is standard equipment and is always activated. It is simpler for the driver because it is not possible to forget to activate the 4-wheel drive and therefor not possible to accidentally get stuck. Integrated Brakes The active brakes are integrated in the wheel motors. For the HP model, the front axle is equipped with active brakes. The HP ECODRIVE model has integrated brakes on all 4 wheels.
