TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The AGCO Allis 8630 features a 24-speed partially synchronized transmission, providing versatility in various field conditions, while the 36-speed partial power shift enhances efficiency during load variations. This configuration allows for smoother gear changes under load, beneficial for heavy-duty applications like tillage or hauling. However, operators may face a learning curve in mastering the shifting and synchronization mechanisms, potentially impacting productivity initially.

TRANSMISSION 1

The AGCO Allis 8630 features a partially synchronized transmission with 24 forward and 12 reverse gears, allowing for efficient speed adjustments across diverse terrains. The six synchronized gears within four ranges enhance operational flexibility and ease of use, while the synchronized reverser facilitates quick direction changes, which is advantageous in tight working conditions. However, the complexity of the transmission may require additional maintenance and operator training to maximize performance.

Type partially synchronized
Gears 24 forward and 12 reverse
Description Six synchronized gears in four ranges with sychronized reverser.

TRANSMISSION 2

The AGCO Allis 8630 features a partial power shift transmission, enabling smooth gear transitions and efficient power delivery across its 36 forward and reverse gears. This design offers enhanced versatility for varied agricultural tasks, but may require more operator skill to manage effectively compared to full power shift systems. Ideal for large-scale operations, the tractor's expansive gear range facilitates adaptability across diverse terrains and load conditions.

Gears 36 forward and reverse

MECHANICAL

The AGCO Allis 8630 features a 4x2 or 4x4 configuration, allowing for versatility in applications, though the 4x2 may lack traction in wet conditions. Its hydrostatic power steering enhances maneuverability, especially in tight spaces, while the standard cabin with air-conditioning improves operator comfort during extended use. The 24-speed partially synchronized or 36-speed partial power shift transmission options provide excellent torque management and adaptability for varied tasks, but the complexity of the transmission may require skilled operation to maximize efficiency.
