TRANSMISSION
The CaseIH Optum 270 features a continuously variable transmission (CVT) that allows for infinite forward gears across four ranges and two reverse ranges, enhancing its versatility and operational efficiency. The primary advantage of CVT is smooth acceleration and deceleration, minimizing power loss and improving fuel efficiency during varying load conditions. However, continuous operation at high RPMs may lead to quicker wear on transmission components, necessitating regular maintenance to ensure longevity and optimal performance.
