TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW
The McCormick Intl C85 Max tractor features a 12-speed or optional 24-speed transmission system, providing enhanced operational versatility across various field conditions. The 24-speed option allows for finer speed control and improved fuel efficiency during tasks like tillage or transport, making it suitable for both small farms and larger agricultural operations. However, the added complexity of a 24-speed transmission may require more maintenance and operator training to fully utilize its capabilities.
| Description | 12-speed / 24-speed |
TRANSMISSION 1
The McCormick Intl C85 Max features a Reverse Power Shuttle (RPS) providing seamless gear transitions, beneficial for tasks requiring frequent direction changes, like loader work. With 12 forward and reverse gears, it offers excellent speed control and versatility across various terrain conditions. However, the 275.8mm cerametallic dry disc clutch may require careful handling during heavy-duty operations to prevent premature wear.

| Gears | 12 forward and reverse |
| Clutch | 275.8mm cerametallic dry disc |
TRANSMISSION 2
The McCormick Intl C85 Max features a synchro shuttle transmission, which allows for smooth and efficient direction changes without stopping, enhancing operational productivity. This type of transmission is advantageous in applications requiring frequent forward and reverse movements, such as loader work or tilling. However, it may present a learning curve for operators accustomed to non-synchronized systems, impacting initial efficiency.

TRANSMISSION 3
The McCormick Intl C85 Max features a transmission with overdrive and a synchronized shuttle, enhancing operational efficiency during directional changes. With 24 forward and 12 reverse gears, it offers flexibility for various field conditions and tasks, allowing the operator to select the appropriate gear ratio for optimal torque or speed. However, the complexity of a multi-gear system may require more operator skill and experience to manage effectively.
