TRANSMISSION 1
The Mahindra 6000's constant mesh transmission with 8 forward and 2 reverse gears allows for smooth gear engagement and enhanced durability, making it suitable for various agricultural tasks. The two-wheel drive configuration offers better maneuverability in less demanding terrains, although it may struggle in challenging conditions such as muddy fields. This setup is advantageous for users needing a reliable tractor for routine farming activities without extensive off-road capabilities.
