P6 Drive transmisison: the right speed for every application
The P6-Drive transmission with five ranges and six-speed on-the-go powershift incorporates a robotized range shifting and an electrohydraulic steering-column power shuttle providing 30 forward and 15 reverse speeds. In addition, a creep speed option provides 54 speeds forward and 27 in reverse. Where legally permitted, a top speed of 50 km/h can be reached. The P6-Drive transmission is also equipped with an Oil Cut-off function enabling more efficient management of the braking system for better on-road performance and improved fuel economy.
Multi-function controller
An ergonomically-designed controller integrated into the multifunction armrest provides easy and intuitive control of the P6-Drive transmission, allowing the operator to shift through all gears and ranges without depressing the clutch pedal. The powershift button enables seamless speed progression both in the field and on the road. The multifunction controller integrates all main functions for tractor and implement operation. The MyFunctions pushbuttons allow the operator to select and activate up to five different functions such as the APS Auto Powershift facility, differential lock, 4WD operation, De-clutch button, rear hitch fast raise/lower, speed cruise control, one remote valve and headland management. All functions are clearly displayed on the digital instrument panel and on the DSM touch screen monitor. On the X7.6 tractors with P6-Drive transmission, the cab is available in two versions:
- Premium, with controls on the multifunction armrest;
- Efficient, with controls on the right-hand console which also integrates the multi-function controller.
Smart APS Auto Powershift automatic transmission
On the X7.6 range, the P6-Drive transmission can be controlled both manually and automatically. Based on load conditions, engine speed and rpm, the Auto Powershift (APS) facility automatically selects the right gear in each range. This improves tractor performance and driving safety while optimizing fuel economy.
Stop & Action system
The Stop & Action system integrates the De-clutch function into the brake pedal. This allows the operator to stop the tractor without depressing the clutch pedal and without using the power shuttle. By the combined use of the Stop & Action and APS systems, the P6-Drive transmission ensures a smooth driving, comparable to that of a CVT transmission.
