TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The McCormick Intl X50.30 features advanced transmission options: a 12-speed mechanical shuttle, which enhances productivity during directional changes, and a 32-speed three-speed power shift with power shuttle that offers significant versatility for various field tasks. The power shuttle allows seamless transitions between forward and reverse, benefiting operations such as loader work and intensive ground handling. However, the complexity of multiple transmission configurations may require more operator training to maximize efficiency and performance.
