Front Drive Axle

PVM has a main gear, a self-locking differential, planetary-cylindrical final drives. The drive of the front drive axle is a cardan shaft built into the transmission, a cylindrical gearbox, a hydraulically operated friction clutch.

Cabin

This technique has a safe cylindrical cabin with a rigid protective frame made of curved profiles. Glasses pasted in tinted spherical. The rear and side windows open. The cabin interior uses molded upholstery and panels, carpets. On the roof there is an emergency hatch and ventilation and heating system, as well as a control panel for some electrical appliances, lighting and alarms, a sun visor, a radio receiver, a rear-view mirror. The seat has a comfortable back. Upholstery and sound-absorbing mastics provide sound, heat and moisture insulation. Thanks to heating, ventilation and air cleaners, working conditions are always comfortable.

On the tractor, air conditioners can be installed on request, which include a system for purifying supply air, cooling or heating, depending on the outside air temperature. The equipment of this equipment to air conditioners makes it possible to significantly simplify the operator's work and reduce fatigue throughout the whole working day.

Infinitely variable cooling of the supply air creates the most optimal and comfortable working conditions in a warm time. The cabin heating system ensures the operation of the tractor in severe winters. Due to the 3-step regulation of the air flow rate created by the fan and the use of recirculation dampers, it is possible to quickly heat the tractor cab even after prolonged parking in the cold.

The ventilation and cleaning system, which is part of the air conditioner, prevents the ingress of dust and harmful impurities into the cabin, which is also important for comfort.

Brakes
