TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW
The Mitsubishi MT260 tractor features a 9-speed hydrostatic transmission, providing smooth and precise control over speed and torque, ideal for applications requiring variable ground engagement. The hydrostatic system reduces wear and enhances operator comfort, especially in tasks like towing or loader work. However, potential challenges include higher maintenance costs and complexity compared to traditional gear transmissions.

TRANSMISSION 1
The Mitsubishi MT260 tractor features a 9-speed forward and 3-speed reverse gear system, providing versatility in various agricultural tasks. This extensive gear range allows for fine-tuning engine performance and speed, enhancing maneuverability in tight spaces and when working on diverse terrains. However, the mechanical complexity of multiple gears may require more maintenance and can pose challenges for operators unfamiliar with multi-gear systems.
| Type | gear |
| Gears | 9 forward and 3 reverse |
TRANSMISSION 2
The Mitsubishi MT260 features a hydrostatic transmission, providing seamless speed adjustments without gear shifting, enhancing user control during operation. Its infinite (3-range) forward and reverse capability allows for versatility in various farming tasks, facilitating easy maneuverability in tight spaces or navigating uneven terrain. However, the hydrostatic system may require higher maintenance and could be less efficient under heavy loads compared to traditional gear systems.
