TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW
The Minneapolis-Moline G350 tractor features a 6-speed partially synchronized transmission, which provides smoother shifting and improved operator control, especially in varied terrain. The addition of a 9-speed creeper gear enhances low-speed operation, making it ideal for tasks requiring precision, such as plowing or planting in tight spaces. Operators may face a learning curve with the partially synchronized system, but overall, it significantly boosts efficiency in both heavy-duty and detailed tasks.
