TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW
The CaseIH 5120 tractor features a 16-speed power shuttle, enabling seamless direction changes while maintaining engine RPM, which enhances operational efficiency. Its 16-speed power shift provides smooth transitions between gears without the need to depress the clutch, ideal for varied terrain and load conditions. The addition of a 24-speed creeper gear allows for precise slow-speed control, beneficial for tasks like planting or tilling in tight spaces, though it may introduce complexity in operation.
