Abstract

A hydromechanical transmission includes a hydrostatic transmission, a mechanical transmission having a planetary gearing mechanism, both being driven by an engine. The output of the hydrostatic transmission interacts with the mechanical transmission to provide infinitely adjustable power flow through the hydromechanical transmission. The planetary gearing mechanism includes three planetary gear set and five members to connected the hydromechanical transmission to an output.
