| Type | two-speed power shift |
| Gears | 16 forward and 8 reverse |
| Clutch | dry disc |
| Description | Four gears (1-4) in two ranges (I-II) and reverse (R) with two-speed power shift (rabbit/turtle) |
TRANSMISSION 3
The John Deere 2350's Direction Reverser transmission offers the convenience of clutchless hydraulic shuttle shifting, enhancing operational efficiency in tasks requiring frequent direction changes. With 8 forward and 4 reverse gears, it provides adequate versatility for medium-duty applications; however, the limitation of reverse only functioning in low range can restrict performance in higher-speed operations. Note that the absence of the reverser in 4WD configurations or cabins may affect overall functionality in certain operating environments.
