Heavy Equipment Power Trains and Systems covers the latest power train technology on the market, including later-model continuously variable transmissions. It provides extensive, balanced coverage of agricultural equipment and off-highway equipment from all sectors of the heavy equipment industry, including construction, mining, and forestry, and includes detailed technical information about equipment from a wide range of manufacturers. Heavily illustrated and featuring many detailed cut-away mechanical drawings developed by author Tim Dell, this text allows students to become familiar with equipment that may not be available in their labs.
