TRANSMISSION 1

The Mahindra 3215 tractor features a hydrostatic transmission, offering smooth, infinitely variable speed control, which enhances operator comfort and precision in tasks like mowing or loading. Its three-range gear system allows for optimized performance across various applications, enabling efficient handling of different soil types and terrain. However, hydrostatic systems can require more maintenance and may have lower overall power transfer compared to conventional gear transmissions, potentially impacting heavy-duty operations.

Gears infinite (3-range) forward and reverse

TRANSMISSION 2

The Mahindra 3215 features an eight-speed gear transmission, providing versatility in various field conditions and operations. Its dry disc clutch allows for efficient power transfer and minimizes slippage, enhancing performance during heavy-duty tasks. However, the dry clutch may require more maintenance and can be less forgiving in terms of operation compared to wet clutches in certain scenarios, such as in muddy or slippery environments.
