![]() The 450C's I ran, had the standard case configuration, shorter lever to the left ran f-n-r, forward being pushed forward, neutral in the middle, reverse pulled toward you, ( don't hit your nuts). The key is to get experience with how the 450 responds under brake steering and trans steering and then you have the option of using either depending on what is easiest for the 450 to cope with in the given situation.Īfter years of using this type of trans, I love it, and next to hydrostatic is probably one of the best in the business. ![]() This will only work well under medium load as it takes a lot more power to drive the machine with the two tracks driven at different speeds. I use the trans steering, (one track in high, one track in low) when I don't need to turn in a tight radius, or when I need both tracks driving to push around a corner. When pushing and making minor steering moves I generally move the inside lever for the direction of turn into neutral, you can do this under full power as long as the 450 keeps moving, if it slows down or stops due to loss of traction from only driving one track, then back the throttle off before re-engaging the trans for the inside track. It is important that you decelerate when changing trans speeds otherwise it will be pretty hard on the whole drive train as under throttle it will be the equivalent of dumping the clutch on a manual trans. The last of the 455/450C crawlers had wet brakes and transmission modulation. The 455's have an upgraded brake version. As mine is a loader I do a lot of pivot turns using the brakes. I use the trans levers to steer most of the time. ![]() I am running a 455C that has the same setup as any 450 as far as transmission.
