TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The New Holland T8.320 features an 18-speed full power shift CVT, enhancing fuel efficiency and providing smooth, seamless operation under varying load conditions. The 23-speed power shift creeper transmission allows for precise speed control during low-speed tasks, such as tilling or planting. This combination offers versatility in both high-speed fieldwork and meticulous low-speed operations, but may require operators to adapt to the complexity of its shifting system.

TRANSMISSION 1

The New Holland T8.320's Ultra-Command transmission, featuring a full power shift with 18 forward and 4 reverse gears, allows for seamless gear shifting and optimal power management, making it highly efficient for diverse agricultural tasks. The addition of an ECO overdrive option enhances fuel efficiency during transport operations by reducing engine RPMs at higher speeds. However, the complexity of the electro-hydraulic wet disc clutch system may result in increased maintenance requirements over time.

Gears 18 forward and 4 reverse
Clutch electro-hydraulic wet discs
Description Available as 18-speed or 19-speed with ECO overdrive.

TRANSMISSION 2

The New Holland T8.320 features an Auto Command CVT, providing seamless power delivery with infinite gear ratios across its 4-range system. This allows for enhanced fuel efficiency and optimal engine performance during various field operations. However, potential challenges may include the complexity of maintenance associated with CVT systems, which could impact long-term service costs.

Gears infinite (4-range) forward and reverse

TRANSMISSION 3

The New Holland T8.320 tractor features a power shift creeper transmission, providing 23 forward and 6 reverse gears, which enhances operational flexibility in a range of agricultural tasks, especially in low-speed applications like planting or tilling. This transmission type allows for smooth shifting with minimal interruption of power delivery, optimizing productivity. However, the complexity of the power shift system may require more maintenance and can pose challenges in troubleshooting compared to simpler transmission types.
