TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW
The CaseIH Farmall 120C tractor features a 12-speed mechanical shuttle and an optional 12-speed power shuttle, significantly enhancing operational control during both forward and reverse maneuvers. The 24-speed configuration offers greater versatility in matching engine RPM with load conditions, improving efficiency and productivity across various tasks, such as tilling and hauling. However, the complexity of a multi-speed transmission may require additional operator training to fully utilize its capabilities and ensure optimal performance.
