TRANSMISSION

The Cameco 405-B tractor utilizes an Allison HT750 power shift transmission, offering 10 forward and 2 reverse gears, which enhances maneuverability for diverse operational scenarios. The two-speed transfer case combined with a torque converter providing automatic lock-up in the first and second gears allows for optimal torque delivery during demanding tasks. This setup can lead to increased productivity; however, the complexity of the power shift system may necessitate specialized training for operators.
