TRANSMISSION 1
The CaseIH Farmall 105U features a mechanical shuttle with 12 gears, providing versatility across three ranges, but requires clutch engagement for direction changes, which can slow operation in tight maneuvering scenarios. The dry disc clutch is durable but may require frequent maintenance, especially under heavy use. Overall, this tractor excels in tasks requiring a balance of power and control, though operators must adapt to the clutch-dependent reverser mechanism for seamless direction transitions.
| Type | mechanical shuttle |
| Gears | 12 forward and reverse |
| Clutch | dry disc |
| Description | Three ranges with four gears per range. Left-hand reverser requires use of clutch to change directions |
TRANSMISSION 2
The CaseIH Farmall 105U features a mechanical shuttle with a creeper transmission, providing 20 forward and 12 reverse gears, ideal for varied field applications requiring precise speed control. The dry disc clutch enhances durability and reduces maintenance, though it may require more effort for operation compared to wet clutches in certain tasks. This tractor is particularly well-suited for specialized tasks like row crop cultivation or loader work, where maneuverability and speed adjustment are crucial.
