Its an option called Twin Trac. It's about 5k ish on a new Valtra now.

 

As far as i know its an extra idler in the gear box so you can go as fast backwards as forwards. Link up to the power steering etc.

 

You can if you want to throw money at it do it as an after market conversion but its very expensive as its a split down job.

On models with an electronic shuttle like the N series it wouldn't be a split job I don't think..

 

Its very handy on a roof mount, I use it all the time. It will be an essential on my next machine....

Good point it would be much easier to do on a CVT gearbox. Just oil flow to manage just a bit more electrics to shove in.

 

Once you get reverse drive it becomes so useful. Downside is that if you have a rather long tractor and your not paying attention to your nose when turning in the woods you do bash it around a bit:blushing:
