No, if that is really a problem, engineers will just install a larger oil cooler. Problem solved.

9880sts, John Deere will copy the 8010 CVT drives. I'm willing to bet a large sum of $$$

and when they do it will be the best thing ever thought of!!!!

The CVTs never gave us any problems I dread having to carry spare header drive belts and rotor belts like the Deeres do, I can,t beleive all development time on the CVT and they would do away with it, any body going to take a trip to Deere next week big push to sell green combines to red owners.

with all the problems w_ belt drives under high HP, I wouldn't bet on the CVT leaving. I'll even make another prediction. The CVT's are the leadin for an even bigger combine! The 8010 is actually the middle child, like the intro of the 1460's. I have no proof of this however. The CVT is the only really scalable system on the market. And it is also the only rotor_header drive system not pretty much maxed out on HP. Rotor belts can only take so much. They have a drive system now that is easily scalable, and not dependant on issues like belt slip and pulley_sprocket sizes. Chads

Also I would say the CVT component system on the 8010 is one of the most beautiful and well designed entity I've ever seen. It is truely a watershed event in terms of combine harvest technology.

"Most beautiful, well designed," what are you comparing it toIJ Have you looked at the plumbing that supports itIJ Do you know that it isn't a true CVT, in its true senseIJ I am a firm believer in using CVT technology as an efficient drive system for combines, etc. I am willing to step out on a limb here and say that the 8010 "CVT" are not as efficient as the belt drive systems they replaced and certainly not as efficient as CVT's used from ground drive. I have no doubt they will be in the future.

Actually Cutter, you're not stepping out on a limb. You're spot on correct.

Uhh..I think a different manufacturer already beat them to it with a variable belt drive setup that was initiated in I think 1970. I still wonder to this day why no one else had the good sense to do the same. Wouldn't be copying, since variable shieves are generic. GS

Variable speed belt drives, to this day, continue to provide the most efficient means of power distribution, more so than CVT. Just wait until deiselelectrics hit the market.
