TONY:
DNA ANTONIO CARRARO
THE TONY CONSTANT VARIABLE TRANSMISSION
Essentially, the Tony is a typical, if more sophisticated, AC tractor:
isodiametric, reversible, compact, narrow, multipurpose, designed to
offer maximum performance in specialised agriculture:
Maximum precision when carrying out tasks
Maximum comfort and protection for the operator
Maximum power during operation without wasting energy
Lower harmful emissions and less noise
Maximum savings in terms of time-work, fuel, consumption
of chemical products
The continuous transmission provides exceptional sensitivity both
during operational activities and road transport, thus allowing optimal
speeds to be maintained for all uses. From 10 m/h to 40 Km/h, in all
situations, there is an ideal working speed for the plain, on hillsides or
on steep slopes. All the engine’s resources are fully exploited without
interruption (not even in critical points: changes of slope or speed)
because the transmission is constantly engaged.
The Tony continuous transmission is an ultra-compact hybrid-
hydrostatic-mechanical transmission, which optimises the tractor’s
performance by lifting it to maximum operational efficiency. It offers
the operator maximum yield and precision during operational tasks as
well as extraordinary facility of use; the electronic inverter, for example,
(positioned on the lever on the steering wheel or on the joystick) can
be activated at any moment and at any speed, in both drive directions.
The Tony transmission is run by an operating system. The response of
the transmission to the work programme set is immediate, the tractor’s
forward movement is always fluid, without discontinuity or jerking,
even on a restart. There is no clutch pedal to press during working
activities. The operator only has to choose the speed parameters or the
engine revolutions, combining them according to the job to be carried
out.
The software controls all the tractor’s diagnostic functions, signalling
to the operator on the display when the services are due, when
the oil needs changing or the fit state of the filters as well as the oil
temperature, sensor efficiency in addition to other problems and
anomalies.
