Transmission hydrostatic type includes several elements: hydraulic models, controls, joysticks, on-board gears, gearboxes and hydraulic pumps. Development of gearboxes is carried out in the German factory “Sauer Danfoss”, which guarantees the highest quality.
Planetary gearbox (3 front and 3 rear speeds) is used for selection of shifting speed under load. The element includes clutches that work in an oil environment and perform the gear ratio. A 3-speed torque converter is involved in powering the bulldozer, interacting with the unit through a driveline and elastic clutch. The torque converter includes a gearbox to drive the pumps.
Extension is by means of on-board clutches, which are made in the form of clutches, working through hydraulics. The principle of engagement in the parking brake is similar.
The TSINRA T 11 uses a separate hydraulic system with a David Brown model S1A6097 gear pump. The capacity of the element reaches 163 l/min. A Bosch-Rexroth 4-section element with 3 operating and 1 valve section is used as a distributor. Hydraulic system pressure limit is 20 MPa. The hydraulic tank has a capacity of 85 liters. Welded construction allows for internal mechanical cleaning.
The bulldozer cab is equipped with soundproof upholstery, and rubber shock absorbers reduce vibration inside the cab. Double glazing increases the viewing angle. The cab has forced ventilation, heating system and optional heating element. Air conditioning is available as an option.
The shape of the panels, the controls and the interior design are modern in design and made of high-quality materials. Close to the operator, they allow you to perform all necessary actions with maximum comfort. The accelerator pedal is fixed in a certain position and provides the necessary engine speed. The gearshift and drive direction (forward or reverse) can be selected using the lever. To the left of the driver there are 2 small levers that control the side skids. Separate levers are provided to operate the blade and slider. The driver’s seat has a stamped design and can be adjusted to the operator’s height and weight.

chassis
The gearbox contains clutches that are in an oily environment. They perform the function of the transmission.
The torque converter is one-timing and consists of three elements, including a pinion. The latter, in turn, drives the pumps. It is connected to the pinion through a coupling and is located on the rear axle. The motor is connected through a card. A clutch is also involved in this process.
Clutch clutches are used to control braking. They are clutches. They work by means of hydraulics. The parking brake has the same functional principle. It is cooled by oil and does not need to be adjusted or adjusted during the entire duration of operation.
The two levels of end drive are gears and planetary gear. It is easy to replace in case of repair due to its simple mounting.
The installation of a semi-rigid suspension provides high traction forces. The same applies to the grip on the base, which reduces the effects of mechanical and dynamic influences. The rollers are lubricated once at the factory and require no further intervention. The steering wheels do the same. The consoles are made in “double cones.”
The rails are made of individual parts and contain sealing elements to maintain lubrication levels. A syringe is used to set the tension.
Chitra T-11 tracks.
The performance of the Chitra T-11 tractor is affected by the steering quality and maneuverability of the machine, taking into account its maneuverability. There are a number of elements that affect the steerability of the units.
The transmission of the Chitra T-11 consists of several units: controls, hydraulic pumps, joysticks and hydraulic motors. It is made in Germany and shipped directly to the factory. The transmission also includes the gearbox and axle drives. It also regulates the fuel supply so you can use it efficiently.
