TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The Mahindra 3016 features an 8-speed synchronized shuttle hydrostatic transmission, providing seamless gear shifts for enhanced control and operational efficiency. This setup is advantageous for tasks requiring precise speed adjustments, such as loader operations and delicate fieldwork. However, while hydrostatic systems offer ease of use and reduced operator fatigue, they may result in higher maintenance costs and potentially reduced fuel efficiency compared to traditional gear-driven tractors.

Description

8-speed synchronized shuttle hydrostatic

TRANSMISSION 1

The Mahindra 3016 features a synchronized shuttle transmission, allowing for smooth gear shifts between forward and reverse, which enhances maneuverability during tasks. With 8 forward and reverse gears, it provides versatility for various field operations and adaptability to different terrains. However, the dry disc clutch can lead to increased wear under heavy loads, necessitating regular maintenance to ensure optimal performance.

Type	synchronized shuttle
Gears	8 forward and reverse
Clutch	dry disc

TRANSMISSION 2

The Mahindra 3016 features a hydrostatic transmission with infinite gears across three ranges, providing seamless speed adjustments and optimal control for various terrain and tasks. This system reduces operator fatigue due to less constant gear shifting while enhancing precision in applications like loader work or mowing. However, hydrostatic systems can have higher initial costs and may require more maintenance compared to traditional gear-driven tractors.

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

MECHANICAL

The Mahindra 3016 features a 4x4 MFWD system, providing excellent traction and stability for diverse terrain conditions, ideal for both field work and transport. Its hydrostatic power steering allows for smooth maneuverability, while the wet disc brakes enhance stopping power and durability under heavy loads. The 8-speed synchronized shuttle hydrostatic transmission offers versatility in speed control, making it suitable for operations requiring frequent direction changes, such as loader work or tilling.

MAHINDRA 3016 TIRES

The Mahindra 3016 tractor is versatile, offering various tire options for agricultural (AG), lawn/turf, and industrial applications, enhancing its adaptability to different terrains. The standard AG tires (7x16 front and 11.2x24 rear) provide excellent traction for fieldwork, while the lawn/turf and industrial configurations offer improved maneuverability and ground protection, beneficial for landscaping or construction tasks. Key considerations include selecting the appropriate tire type based on the primary use case to minimize soil compaction, optimize load capacity, and ensure stability during operation.

Standard tires (ag)	Front: 7x16. Rear: 11.2x24
Lawn/turf front	25x8.5-14
Lawn/turf rear	13.6x16
Industrial front	27x8.5-15
Industrial rear	15x19.5

DIMENSIONS

Length	121.3inches / 308cm
Width	59.8inches / 151cm
Gear Operating weight	2,437lbs / 1105kg
Hydro Operating weight	2,459lbs / 1115kg

DIMENSIONS & TIRES

The Mahindra 3016 tractor, weighing between 2437 to 2459 pounds, offers a compact size suitable for a variety of farm applications while maintaining stability. The front tires (7x16) and rear tires (11.2x24) provide good traction on diverse terrains, with the larger rear tires enhancing power transfer and reducing soil compaction. However, its limited weight may challenge performance in extremely hilly or rugged environments where additional ballast might be required for optimal operation.
