Applications
Articulated vehicles such as
wheel loaders, log skidders,
scrapers, trucks, and similar
vehicles can benefit from
this feature.
While roading, a slow
movement of the steering
wheel (input speed), will not
overcorrect steering.
Increasing input speed will
produce the additional
steering flow required to
quickly change the vehicle’s
direction.
For example, operating log
skidders in the woods
requires very quick steering.
This same log skidder on
the road would be extremely
difficult to steer a straight
normal course. The variable
ratio feature provides good
steering in both conditions.
Combines, row crop tractors,
and large articulated
agricultural tractors also can
benefit from this feature
when traveling down
a field. It will be easier to
follow rows or furrows, and
still be able to make fast
turns at the end of the rows.
