TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW
The McCormick Intl GM40 tractor features either a 12-speed or an optional 16-speed creeper transmission, allowing for precise speed control and enhanced torque management in challenging terrains. The 16-speed creeper gear is particularly advantageous for applications requiring low-speed operations such as plowing or intricate fieldwork, improving maneuverability and reducing load stress on the engine. However, managing the additional speeds may require a learning curve for operators, impacting initial productivity.

TRANSMISSION 1
The McCormick Intl GM40 tractor features a 12-speed transmission, providing versatility in both forward and reverse operations, which enhances its adaptability for various tasks such as plowing, tilling, and handling materials. The extensive gear range can improve fuel efficiency and optimize power delivery depending on load conditions. However, the complexity of a 12-speed transmission may require more maintenance and operator training to ensure effective utilization in different scenarios.
| Gears | 12 forward and reverse |
TRANSMISSION 2
The McCormick Intl GM40 tractor features a creeper transmission, allowing for enhanced low-speed operation, ideal for applications such as precision tillage or road maintenance. With 16 forward and reverse gears, operators benefit from versatile speed control, enabling efficient handling of diverse terrain and crop conditions. However, the complexity of multiple gears may require skilled operation to optimize performance and prevent gear mishandling.
