Short summary
Compared with the hydrostatic CVT used in the current cotton picker, the hydrostatic power split CVT has lower energy and fuel consumption. However, this kind of transmission usually has multiple speed regulation ranges, and the adjacent two ranges will produce impact and affect the driving comfort when shifting. In this study, the shift process of a hydrostatic power split CVT was analysed, and the results prove the feasibility of the application of this kind of CVT in the cotton picker.
