TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The LS MT235E features a 12-speed synchro shuttle hydrostatic transmission, allowing for smooth and efficient speed changes while maintaining engine power, essential for tasks requiring precision. Its hydrostatic design provides excellent control for various agricultural applications but may result in higher fuel consumption compared to traditional gear systems. This model is ideal for small to medium-sized operations, where versatility and ease of operation are crucial.

12-speed synchro shuttle hydrostatic

TRANSMISSION 1

The LS MT235E features a synchro shuttle transmission, allowing for smooth direction changes without clutch engagement, which enhances operator efficiency during tasks like loader work. With 12 forward and reverse gears, it provides a versatile range of speeds suitable for various applications, from heavy-duty tilling to precise maneuvering in tight spaces. However, operators may need to familiarize themselves with gear selection to maximize productivity effectively.

Type	synchro shuttle
Gears	12 forward and reverse

TRANSMISSION 2

The LS MT235E's hydrostatic transmission provides seamless control with infinite gear options across three ranges, enhancing maneuverability for varying tasks like towing and load handling. One advantage is its ease of operation, reducing operator fatigue during extended use; however, hydrostatic systems may incur higher maintenance costs over time. In scenarios requiring precise speed adjustments, such as cultivating or loading, the hydrostatic design excels, allowing for intuitive speed modulation.

Gears	infinite (3-range) forward and reverse

MECHANICAL

The LS MT235E tractor features a 4x4 MFWD drivetrain, enhancing traction on varied terrains, beneficial for tasks like plowing and tilling. Its power steering provides maneuverability, while wet disc brakes ensure efficient stopping power under heavy loads. The 12-speed synchro shuttle hydrostatic transmission allows for precise speed control, optimizing performance in both forward and reverse, ideal for applications requiring frequent direction changes.

LS MT235E TIRES

The LS MT235E tractor is equipped with various tire options tailored for different applications: agricultural (AG) tires for improved traction in farming operations, turf tires for minimal ground disturbance in landscaping, and industrial tires for enhanced stability in construction tasks. Choosing AG tires (Front: 7-14, Rear: 11.2-24) maximizes performance in muddy or loose soil, while turf and industrial options (e.g., 25x8.5-14 front, 43x16-20 rear) provide efficiency on soft or hard terrains, respectively. It's essential to select the appropriate tire type based on terrain and intended use to optimize both performance and longevity.

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
