Engine & Performance
How much power does the X7.6 VT-Drive deliver?

Transmission
What is VT-Drive and how does it work?
VT-Drive is a continuously variable transmission that delivers smooth, stepless power across the full speed range. With no fixed gears to shift through, you enjoy seamless acceleration and precise control whatever the task.
Can I tailor the transmission to different jobs?
Yes. VT-Drive offers four programmable speed ranges, letting you match performance to the work in hand. The controls sit on the EasyPilot joystick, keeping everything intuitive and within easy reach.
Does the transmission help lower running costs?
It does. VT-Drive is designed for reduced fuel consumption and lower operating costs, helping you keep more in your pocket right across the season.
Hydraulics & Lift Capacity

What is the lift capacity?
