TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW
The McCormick Intl C50 tractor features an 8-speed transmission or an optional 16-speed transmission, offering flexibility in speed management for various agricultural tasks. The 16-speed variant enhances operator control over power delivery, making it advantageous for both field work and transport scenarios. However, the complexity of an additional speed range may require more maintenance and operator training compared to the simpler 8-speed option.
