TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The New Holland T4.85 tractor is equipped with a choice of transmission systems including a 12-speed mechanical shuttle or a 20-speed mechanical shuttle with creeper options. The 12-speed power shuttle and 20-speed power shuttle with creeper provide enhanced versatility for various applications, particularly in tight maneuvering situations or when fine adjustments in speed are required. Key advantages include improved control and efficiency during operations, while the challenge may arise from potentially higher maintenance needs for more complex transmission systems.

TRANSMISSION 1

The New Holland T4.85 features a mechanical shuttle with 12 forward and reverse gears, allowing for efficient and precise direction changes, ideal for tasks like loader operations and field working. The four synchronized gears in three ranges enhance versatility, enabling the tractor to adapt to various terrains and loads effectively. However, the mechanical shuttle may lack the ease of operation seen in hydrostatic systems, potentially impacting user fatigue during extended use.

Gears 12 forward and reverse
Description Four synchronized gears in three ranges with left-hand mechanical shuttle.

TRANSMISSION 2

The New Holland T4.85 features a mechanical shuttle with a creeper gear option, providing enhanced maneuverability for tasks requiring slow speeds, such as loader work or precise operations in confined spaces. With 20 forward and 12 reverse gears, operators benefit from versatility and improved torque management across varied terrains and conditions. However, the complexity of the gear system may present a learning curve for inexperienced users, necessitating operator training to maximize efficiency.

MECHANICAL

The New Holland T4.85 features a versatile transmission system, offering multiple options including a 12-speed mechanical shuttle and a 20-speed power shuttle with creeper for enhanced low-speed control, ideal for detailed work such as cultivating and planting. The optional VisionView Cab provides operator comfort and visibility, enhancing productivity, though the two-post ROPS may limit overhead protection in certain conditions. Consider soil conditions and required tasks when selecting the transmission type to maximize efficiency and performance.
