TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW
The McCormick Intl MTX165 features a 16-speed or optional 32-speed transmission, providing enhanced versatility for various field operations and optimal power management at different speeds. This allows for efficient transport and tillage tasks, facilitating improved fuel economy and reduced operator fatigue. However, operators may need time to adapt to the complex shifting mechanics, especially when utilizing the multi-speed option in demanding scenarios.
| Description | 16-speed/32-speed |
TRANSMISSION 1
The McCormick Intl MTX165 tractor features a powershift transmission with 16 forward and 12 reverse gears, allowing for enhanced adaptability in various field conditions and tasks. The 16-speed forward capability enables efficient speed control while minimizing fuel consumption during operations, but the complexity of the powershift system may require more maintenance compared to traditional transmissions. Ideal for mixed farming scenarios where versatility and responsiveness are crucial.
