TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The McCormick Intl X6.430 features a highly versatile 36-speed power shift transmission, allowing for smooth shifting across various speeds, which enhances operational efficiency in diverse applications. The inclusion of a 48-speed creeper mode provides exceptional control for low-speed tasks such as precision tilling or planting, making it advantageous for specialized agricultural operations. However, the complexity of the CVT may present a steep learning curve for some operators, requiring additional training to fully leverage its capabilities.
