TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The Mahindra 3540 features a 12-speed power shuttle hydrostatic transmission, providing seamless direction changes and enhanced power delivery for various applications. This system allows operators to quickly shift between forward and reverse without clutching, reducing operator fatigue and improving efficiency during tasks like loader work or field operations. However, hydrostatic systems can be less efficient than traditional mechanical transmissions in terms of power loss, particularly in heavy-duty applications.
