Abstract

A transmission system for a machine is coupled to an engine of the machine that is adapted to generate power. The transmission system includes a hydraulic power path including a variator coupled to the engine. The transmission system also includes a mechanical power path. The mechanical power path includes a first gear arrangement including a plurality of gears. The mechanical power path also includes a second gear arrangement including a plurality of gears. The second gear arrangement is coupled with the first gear arrangement to receive the variable rotational power from the first gear arrangement. The mechanical power path further includes a first clutch assembly and a second clutch assembly. Further, the second gear arrangement directs the variable rotational power received from the first gear arrangement towards a final output member of the machine in a selected direction.
