TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The CaseIH CX90's 8-speed synchro shuttle provides smooth direction changes, while the 16-speed partial power shift allows for efficient speed adjustments under varying loads. The 24-speed creeper gear is beneficial for precise control in low-speed applications, such as tilling or planting. However, operators may face a learning curve with the gear shifts, potentially impacting productivity during initial use.
