TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW
The New Holland T4040 tractor’s transmission options include a 12-speed mechanical shuttle and two variants of 16-speed shuttles (mechanical and power), providing flexibility in matching speed and torque to various agricultural tasks. The 16-speed power shuttle offers quicker direction changes, enhancing efficiency during loader work or transport, while the 12-speed may provide a more straightforward, cost-effective option for basic operations. Overall, the choice of transmission should align with the specific operational requirements and budget of the user.
