| Gears | 18 forward and 6 reverse |
| Clutch | electro-hydraulic wet disc |
TRANSMISSION 2
The CaseIH Puma 185 features the EconoGear full power shift transmission, offering 19 forward and 6 reverse gears, which enhances operational flexibility across varied terrains. The electro-hydraulic wet disc clutch provides smoother gear transitions and durability, while the transport gear optimizes road speed at reduced engine RPMs, improving fuel efficiency during transport. This combination is ideal for farmers seeking efficiency in both field work and road travel, although the complexity of the system may require additional training for optimal use.
