TRANSMISSION
The International Harvester 884 tractor features a two-speed power shift transmission with 16 forward and 8 reverse gears, enhancing operational flexibility for various field conditions. The Torque Amplifier (TA) allows seamless shifting from direct drive to a lower speed without disengaging, ideal for handling challenging terrain or heavy loads. However, the dry disc clutch may require more frequent maintenance compared to hydraulic systems, so regular checks are essential for optimal performance.
