| Description | With 18.4-34 rear tires. Reverse speeds are 3% faster than forward speeds |
TRANSMISSION 2
The CaseIH Farmall 130A includes a mechanical shuttle transmission, allowing for smooth transitions between forward and reverse gears, which enhances operational efficiency during tasks such as loader work. With 8 forward and reverse gears, the tractor provides a versatile range of speed options, making it suitable for various agricultural applications including tillage and transport. However, operators may find the mechanical shuttle less intuitive compared to electronic systems, possibly requiring a steeper learning curve in high-traffic scenarios.

| Gears | 8 forward and reverse |
TRANSMISSION 3
The CaseIH Farmall 130A tractor features a power shuttle transmission with 16 forward and 8 reverse gears, offering versatile operation in various field conditions. The Hi-Lo function enhances productivity by allowing seamless transitions between different speed ranges without clutch disengagement. This system is particularly advantageous for tasks requiring frequent changes in direction, such as loading and unloading operations, while the added complexity may pose maintenance challenges over time.

MECHANICAL
The CaseIH Farmall 130A features a robust chassis with options for both 2WD and 4WD, providing versatility for various terrains, though 4WD will enhance traction on slippery or uneven surfaces. The tractor's transmission options include an 8-speed power or mechanical shuttle, offering straightforward operation for fieldwork; however, the choice of transmission should align with the operator's need for speed variability and ease of shifting. A cab with air-conditioning adds comfort during extended usage in hot conditions, although maintenance of the cab systems may present additional challenges.
