TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The New Holland T6.160 features a versatile transmission lineup, including a 24-speed power shift option that enhances operational flexibility and efficiency, ideal for varied field applications. The inclusion of continuously variable transmission (CVT) offers seamless power delivery, reducing fuel consumption and improving productivity in tasks requiring consistent speed settings. However, potential challenges include increased complexity and maintenance costs associated with advanced transmission systems, particularly in harsh operating conditions.

TRANSMISSION 1

The New Holland T6.160 features a Dual Command transmission with a two-speed power shift, enabling seamless gear changes across 24 forward and reverse options. This provides operators with enhanced productivity and optimal control for varying field conditions. However, the complexity of the power shift system may necessitate additional operator training to fully utilize its capabilities.

Gears 24 forward and reverse

TRANSMISSION 2

The New Holland T6.160 features an ElectroShift transmission with eight-speed power shift capability, offering 16 forward and reverse gears for enhanced operational flexibility. The clutch-free shifting between ranges 1-2 and 3-4 facilitates smooth transitions, reducing operator fatigue and increasing efficiency during field operations. However, reliance on electronic components may pose challenges in remote areas with limited service support.

TRANSMISSION 3

The New Holland T6.160's AutoShift transmission enhances operational efficiency by automatically selecting the appropriate gear, making it ideal for varied terrains and workload conditions. With 16 forward and reverse gears, it offers versatility in speed control, while the additional 17-speed option allows for enhanced performance at higher speeds (40 KPH or 50 KPH). However, reliance on automatic shifting may lead to less driver engagement in precision tasks, which could be a consideration for operators seeking full control.

Description AutoShift adds automatic shifting to the ElectroShift transmission. Also available in a 17-speed version with 40 KPH or 50 KPH top speed.

TRANSMISSION 4

The New Holland T6.160's Auto Command CVT provides seamless power delivery with infinite gears in both forward and reverse, allowing optimal adaptability to varying field conditions, enhancing fuel efficiency and operator comfort. Key advantages include improved productivity due to reduced operator fatigue and enhanced traction control, facilitating smoother operation on slopes and uneven terrain. However, potential challenges may involve higher initial costs and maintenance complexity compared to traditional gear transmissions.
