TRANSMISSION 1
The Ford-New Holland 3930 features an 8-speed forward and 2-speed reverse transmission, providing versatility for various applications, from fieldwork to transport. The dry disc clutch offers reliable engagement but may require more frequent adjustments compared to a wet-type clutch, particularly in demanding conditions. Ideal for light to moderate agricultural tasks, this setup balances performance and durability, though operators should be mindful of potential wear in high-stress scenarios.
| Gears | 8 forward and 2 reverse |
| Clutch | dry disc |
TRANSMISSION 2
The Ford-New Holland 3930 features a synchronized shuttle transmission with 8 forward and reverse gears, providing seamless gear changes for enhanced maneuverability during operations. The dry disc clutch offers durability and lower maintenance needs; however, it may experience limited performance in wet or muddy conditions. Ideal for both fieldwork and transport, this tractor balances efficiency and versatility, making it suitable for small to medium agricultural tasks.
