TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW
The Mitsubishi MT28 tractor features an 8-speed synchronized shuttle hydrostatic transmission, which allows for smooth and precise control during direction changes, particularly beneficial in tight agricultural spaces. This system enhances operator efficiency by reducing the physical effort required for gear shifting. However, the complexity of hydrostatic systems may lead to higher maintenance costs and potential challenges in repairs compared to conventional transmission systems.

TRANSMISSION 1
The Mitsubishi MT28 tractor features a synchronized shuttle transmission, enabling smooth gear shifts for improved operational efficiency. With 8 forward and 8 reverse gears, it offers versatility in various agricultural tasks, allowing for precise speed control in both directions. However, operators should ensure they are familiar with the synchronization mechanism to avoid premature wear, particularly in applications involving frequent directional changes.

| Gears | 8 forward and reverse |
TRANSMISSION 2
The Mitsubishi MT28 tractor features a hydrostatic transmission, providing seamless speed adjustments without the need for gear shifting, which enhances operator control and comfort during various tasks. Its infinite (3-range) forward and reverse gear capabilities allow for precise maneuvering in tight spaces, making it ideal for applications like landscaping or small-scale farming. However, hydrostatic systems may exhibit reduced efficiency at higher loads compared to traditional gear systems, which could limit performance in heavy-duty applications.
