Drivetrain configured for synchronous ivt to cvt transition

A drivetrain for connection between an output of a prime mover and a load, comprising:

• a CVT including an input connected to the output of the prime mover and an output;
• a forward-reverse clutch assembly including first and second inputs and an output connectable to the load, the first input of the forward-reverse clutch assembly being connected to the output of the CVT through a CVT clutch;
• an IVT gear assembly having a first input connected to the output of the prime mover, a second input connected to the output of the CVT and an output connected to the second input of the forward-reverse clutch assembly through an IVT clutch;
• and
• an idler gear assembly interconnecting the first and second inputs of the forward-reverse clutch assembly.
