  • CVT hydromechanical drive
    Patent number: 7828683
    Abstract: A CVT hydromechanical drive having: an engine (12) rotating a propeller shaft (11); a hydrostatic unit (13), in turn having a hydraulic pump (14) and a hydraulic motor (15) connected hydraulically to each other; an epicyclic transmission (16); a number of clutches (CH1, CH2, CH3); a differential; and an assembly (PTO). The hydromechanical drive (10) is characterized in that the hydrostatic unit (13) is substantially U-shaped, and in that a longitudinal axis of symmetry (b) of the pump (14) is substantially in line with a longitudinal axis of symmetry (a) of the propeller shaft (11).
