TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The McCormick Intl X4.30 features a 12-speed partially synchronized transmission, providing smooth gear shifts for versatile speed control in various agricultural tasks. The 12-speed power shuttle allows for seamless direction changes without clutching, enhancing productivity during load handling and transport operations. However, users may need to adapt to the partially synchronized system, as it may require more skill for optimal gear engagement compared to fully synchronized transmissions.
