TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The LS MT225E tractor features a 12-speed synchro shuttle hydrostatic transmission, offering seamless direction and speed changes essential for precision work in tight spaces. This system enhances operator comfort by minimizing gear shifting effort while providing optimal torque management for various tasks. However, potential challenges include maintenance complexity and the need for operator training to fully leverage its capabilities in diverse agricultural applications.

12-speed synchro shuttle hydrostatic

TRANSMISSION 1

The LS MT225E features a synchro shuttle transmission with 12 forward and reverse gears, enhancing operator efficiency during forward-reverse operations. This configuration allows for smooth gear shifting and precise speed control, making it ideal for various applications such as tilling or loader work in tight spaces. However, operators may need time to adapt to the gear layout to fully exploit its advantages in performance and maneuverability.

Type	synchro shuttle
Gears	12 forward and reverse

TRANSMISSION 2

The LS MT225E features a hydrostatic transmission that offers infinite speed control across three ranges, enhancing maneuverability for diverse tasks. This type of transmission eliminates the need for gear shifting, allowing for smoother operation while reducing operator fatigue, especially in precision jobs like mowing or tilling. However, hydrostatic systems may have lower efficiency under heavy loads compared to gear-driven alternatives, which can impact fuel economy in prolonged heavy-duty use.

Type	hydrostatic
Gears	infinite (3-range) forward and reverse

MECHANICAL

The LS MT225E tractor features a 4x4 MFWD design, ensuring superior traction and stability in varied terrains, which is advantageous for efficient field work. The power steering enhances maneuverability, while the wet disc brakes provide reliable stopping power under heavy loads, albeit with potential maintenance considerations. The 12-speed synchro shuttle/hydrostatic transmission allows for seamless shifting, making it well-suited for tasks requiring frequent directional changes, such as loader work or tight-row planting.

LS MT225E TIRES

The LS MT225E tractor offers versatile tire options, with agricultural tires providing optimal traction for farming applications, while lawn/turf and industrial tires enhance performance on softer surfaces or in construction tasks. The standard ag tires, featuring a front size of 7-14 and rear of 11.2-24, allow for effective soil engagement, but may limit maneuverability in tight spaces. Selecting turf or industrial tires can improve stability and reduce ground disturbance in landscaping or loading scenarios, though it may compromise the tractor's ability to work in muddy conditions.

Standard tires (ag)	Front: 7-14. Rear: 11.2-24
Lawn/turf front	25x8.5-14
Lawn/turf rear	41x14-20
Industrial front	25x8.5-14
Industrial rear	43x16-20
