TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The New Holland T7.260 tractor features an advanced transmission system with either an 18-speed or 19-speed full power shift option, enhancing its versatility and operational efficiency in various field conditions. The primary advantage of the full power shift is seamless gear changes, which minimizes power loss during shifting and improves overall productivity. However, the complexity of the transmission system may require more maintenance and technician expertise compared to simpler systems, potentially increasing operational costs in challenging environments.
