It's my dads. Turbocompound d13. Imagine what it will do in decent weather and when everything is broken in?
Oh it has a swaybar too on the front. Pretty neat.
Well off we go I suppose...

Finally give you a cabin you can fit the biggins in ?
Lmao I swear I heard you say your not pulling a hopper again. Next you’ll be wearing all Adidas and driving a Volvo like the Dearborn Michigan crew.
Interesting, never knew they made one.Anyone have any experience of Roadranger with torque converter ? Like RTLO-11118A-MT ? Why so low torque rating ? Because converter multiplier ratio or are they just weak ?

I just read something about them, essentially looked like torque conver took place of clutch in the design, and under certain parameters it would lock up and be direct like a clutch at that point.

That's the only application I've encountered them in. Terrogator

OK then, would have been nice heavy hauler box if torque rating was higher. In Europe MAN is the only manufacturer at the moment who offer ZF torque converter box. Mercedes have Voith turbo clutch but I have heard they have some issues.It's been a while since I worked on them. They were a special use trans. I worked on them in Fertilizer Floaters. I heard that there were a few semi's with them but they were mainly in town delivery trucks.
Torque converter tied to a 18 speed trans is all it was. The interrupter clutch just unlocked the trans so you could shift it like you normally would if I remember correctly.
To run one in a floater, you would start out like you normally would and shift up to your desired field gear. Then when use the torque converter when slowing down for corners or headlands. Then rather than shifting, you could use the torque converter to get back up to speed without shifting gears.
Last I knew, it was hard to find parts for, or find anybody that would work on them.
The applications didn't require torque.
