TRANSMISSION

The Cub Cadet 7274 tractor features a partially-synchronized gear system with 9 forward and 3 reverse gears, facilitating ease of operation in varying terrains. Its 215mm mechanical dry disc clutch enhances durability, although range shifts require the tractor to be stationary, which can slow down operations. Regular maintenance is crucial, with an oil change interval of 200 hours using Cub Cadet Hy-Tran lubricant to ensure optimal performance and longevity.

Type partially-synchronized gear
Gears 9 forward and 3 reverse
Clutch 215mm mechanical dry disc
Oil capacity 25.4qts / 24.0L / Cub Cadet Hy-Tran
Oil change 200 h
Description Three gears (1-3) plus reverse (R) in three ranges (low, medium, and high). Gear shifts are synchronized using the foot clutch. Tractor must be stopped, and clutch used, to shift range

MECHANICAL

The Cub Cadet 7274 tractor features a 4x4 MFWD system, enhancing traction and stability on varied terrain, making it ideal for both agricultural work and light construction. Its hydrostatic power steering provides effortless maneuverability, while the rear standard differential lock improves traction on slippery surfaces. The 9-speed partially synchronized transmission offers versatility for different operational speeds, although operators may face a steeper learning curve compared to fully synchronized systems.
