TRANSMISSION 1

The AGCO ST40 features a synchronized shuttle transmission, allowing for smooth gear transitions between 8 forward and reverse gears, which enhances operational efficiency during fieldwork. The dry disc clutch provides durability and minimizes maintenance, but may require precise engagement to avoid stalling or jerking during start-ups. Ideal for light agricultural tasks, the ST40's gear configuration and clutch design balance power with ease of use, making it suitable for both novice and experienced operators.

TRANSMISSION 2

The AGCO ST40 features a power shuttle transmission, allowing for seamless forward and reverse shifting without clutching, enhancing operational efficiency during loader work or field maneuvering. Its 16 forward and reverse gears provide extensive speed versatility, making it suitable for various agricultural tasks. The wet disc clutch system ensures smoother engagement and prolongs lifespan under heavy-duty operation, though it may require more maintenance compared to dry clutches.
