TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The Mitsubishi GX401 tractor features a versatile 16-speed transmission, which provides optimal torque management for various agricultural tasks, ideal for both tilling and hauling. However, opting for the 24-speed variant offers enhanced control in variable terrain, allowing for precise speed adjustments to improve fuel efficiency and reduce wear. A possible challenge with more gears is the increased complexity of maintenance and potential for transmission-related issues if not serviced properly.
