Deere has its DSG gearbox and New Holland also in the T6. But in passenger cars as well as light commercial vans, dual clutch gearboxes dont seem to gain ground on the conventional planetary automatic transmission: quite the contrary, a lot is invested in planetary automatic gearboxes with finer ratio spacing so they can lockup the torque converter as soon as the vehicle is rolling..

ZF's new 8 speed has a lepelletier gear mechanism with only two open clutches (drag loss) at a time and allows silk smooth shifts because it shifts only 1 pack at a time.

Zetors best bet for the future would be probably such advanced 8 speed powershift which is faultless with simple clutch control, giving best operator confort as Zetor will not offer a CVT i guess. 8 speeds in 3 ranges gives full effectiveness similar to a CVT but better reliability.
