TRANSMISSION 1
The International Harvester 885 tractor features a synchromesh transmission with 8 forward and 4 reverse gears, enabling smooth shifting between low and high ranges for versatile power management. The four gears in each range enhance operational efficiency, making it suitable for varied tasks such as heavy tillage or transport. However, operators may need to acclimate to the transmission's unique shifting characteristics, particularly when transitioning between ranges under load.
| Type | synchromesh |
| Gears | 8 forward and 4 reverse |
| Description | Four gears (1-4) in two ranges (low/high) plus reverse range |
TRANSMISSION 2
The International Harvester 885 tractor features a two-speed power shift transmission with 16 forward and 8 reverse gears, enhancing operational flexibility and efficiency in various field conditions. The torque amplifier provides increased power delivery at lower speeds, making it advantageous for tasks requiring sustained torque, such as plowing or tilling. However, the complexity of this transmission system may present challenges in maintenance and repair, necessitating a skilled technician for optimal performance.
