SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SYNCHRONIZING ERPM AND GEAR CHANGES OF A WORK VEHICLE

摘要

A method for operating a work vehicle in an automatic speed control mode is disclosed. The method may generally include receiving an input associated with a desired ground speed of the work vehicle, determining with a controller to implement a gear change and an erpm change in order to maintain the work vehicle at the desired ground speed, wherein the gear change includes a gear prep phase and a ratio change phase and controlling a timing parameter of at least one of the gear change or the erpm change such that the ratio change phase and the erpm change occur substantially simultaneously.
