TRANSMISSION 1

The McCormick Intl X50.40m features a mechanical shuttle transmission that allows for 12 forward and reverse gears, facilitating efficient speed and torque management for various agricultural tasks. The dry disc clutch provides reliable engagement and disengagement, minimizing maintenance but can be less forgiving in slippery conditions. This design is advantageous for operators who require precise control in diverse terrain scenarios, although it may present challenges in wet or heavy-duty applications due to clutch slippage risks.
