TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The CaseIH 3220 tractor features an advanced transmission system with an 8-speed synchromesh, allowing smooth gear shifts, and an 8-speed shuttle for efficient direction changes. Additionally, the 16-speed partial power shift and synchromesh creeper provide enhanced torque management for tasks requiring low-speed maneuverability, such as tilling or planting. While the multi-faceted transmission enhances versatility, operators may require time to master the various shifting techniques for optimal performance, especially in complex field environments.
