Epicyclic transmisson in tractors

Did any farm tractors, domestic and foreign have that type of transmission?
I can't think of any, except there vere one garden tractor that I know of that had that kind of setup.

I have a dilemma! Some say I use bad grammer. Ever since I have been in this country the english language has been difficult to understand.
Vhen I vas driving the truck and talking on the CB, the folks up north though I vas from the south and the people from the south thought I vas from Boston.
The old saying!" Don't take a Dutchman fur vat he says, but take him fur vat he means.
With the political climate in DC I thought that diverisity was the wave of the future.
Yo all' have a good day, and try 2 git along.
 
the two speed in the 10 series fords was epicylic, i think the later Massey two speed was too. Not sure about JD... epicylic is the same as planetary gears...
 
I know that Model T Fords were converted for tractor use quite often and they had a planetary transmission.......alot of the loaders I have worked on in the last 30 years have planetary gearing in the hubs.
 
All the way back to the late 1940's Ferguson offered an Epicyclic reduction gearbox for the TE-20. It gave the tractor a low range and live pto.
 
Ford Model Ts converted to tractor use; Ford 671, 771, 871, 971, JD Powershifts, Kubota. In addition, the power being transmitted to the drive wheels of just about any farm tractor from the 60s on went through a planetary final drive reduction before reaching the wheels.
 
I wouldn't be surprised if some of the OLD tractors had some version of a planetary gearset, maybe even back in the open gear days.

If you look through some of the tractor books such as Wendel's, there was a LOT of oddball stuff made WAY back!
 
The high low in the Massey Fergusons was an epicyclic transmission with a sun gear surrounded by 3 planetary gears....also the reductions in the axle ends of the 65 and upwards models were epicyclic hubs. Modern front wheel assist hubs are nearly all epicyclic........

The drive shafts for the header on the JD 9500 combines run through a planetary. The mechanic got to tear all of that apart this bean harvest to replace the splined drive shafts. It was tedious. Better him than me.
 
All the Planetary (Epicyclic) Reductions in drive axles/finals in IHC and Farmalls and many dozers.
The Torque Amplifier in all the SMTA and newer 3XX through 6XX (If I Recall) were clutch shifted planetaries. Big frame Farmalls and IH were not. Jim
