TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The Mahindra 1526 tractor features an 8-speed shuttle transmission, allowing for seamless directional changes without clutch engagement, enhancing operator efficiency in tasks like loader work or tilling. The hydrostatic option offers infinite speed control, ideal for precision operations but may require more maintenance than traditional systems. Its compact size and power-to-weight ratio make it suitable for small to medium-sized farms, yet its maneuverability may be limited in tight spaces compared to smaller models.

Description

8-speed shuttle/hydrostatic

TRANSMISSION 1

The Mahindra 1526 tractor features a shuttle transmission with 8 forward and reverse gears, allowing for versatile operation and ease of direction changes under load. The dry disc clutch provides reliable engagement but may require more maintenance than hydraulic clutches in demanding conditions. This configuration is ideal for small to medium-sized tasks, providing efficient control in confined spaces like orchards or vineyards.
