INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER TD-18 TRANSMISSION
The International Harvester TD-18 features a 6-speed transmission, providing a balance between low-end torque and high-speed efficiency for diverse agricultural tasks. The multiple gears enable operators to optimize performance based on terrain and load conditions, enhancing productivity. However, mastering gear shifts may require initial operator training, particularly in challenging environments.
MECHANICAL
The International Harvester TD-18 features a crawler drive system, providing excellent traction and stability on uneven terrain, suitable for heavy-duty applications like land clearing and grading. Its open operator station enhances visibility and comfort; however, it exposes the operator to environmental elements. Key considerations include maintaining track tension and monitoring undercarriage wear to ensure optimal performance in rugged conditions.
