TRANSMISSION
The Cub Cadet 8454 features a synchronized shuttle transmission, allowing for seamless gear shifting between forward and reverse, enhancing operational efficiency in both forward and reverse tasks. Its 8 forward and 8 reverse gears offer versatility for various farming applications, providing optimal speed control and adaptability to different terrain conditions. However, the dry disc clutch may require more maintenance compared to wet clutches, limiting high-frequency engagement scenarios without overheating risks.
