TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The New Holland TB120 features an 8-speed gear system, complemented by a 16-speed two-speed power shift and a 12-speed creeper range, allowing for versatile speed control across various terrains and applications. The dual-range power shift enhances productivity by facilitating seamless gear transitions, especially in demanding field operations. However, mastering the complexities of this multi-speed setup may present a learning curve for operators, particularly in precision tasks such as tillage or planting.

Gears 8 forward and 2 reverse

TRANSMISSION 2

The New Holland TB120 features a Dual Command transmission with a two-speed power shift system, providing 16 forward and 4 reverse gears. This setup allows for smoother gear transitions and optimized power delivery, enhancing productivity in varying operational contexts. However, users may face a steeper learning curve due to the complexity of managing multiple gears effectively, particularly in applications requiring precise control.

Gears 16 forward and 4 reverse

TRANSMISSION 3

The New Holland TB120's creeper transmission enhances maneuverability by providing a total of 12 forward and 3 reverse gears, crucial for precise operations in tight spaces or heavy load applications. This feature is particularly advantageous for tasks like tilling or planting, where low-speed control is vital. However, the complexity of the creeper system may require additional maintenance compared to standard transmissions.

Gears 12 forward and 3 reverse
Description The creeper adds an addition low range to the standard 8x2 transmission.

MECHANICAL

The New Holland TB120 features a versatile chassis with both 2WD and 4WD options, allowing for adaptability in various terrains, though the 4x4 MFWD may offer better traction in challenging conditions. Its power steering enhances maneuverability, particularly in tight spaces or when navigating obstacles. The range of transmission options, including an 8-speed gear and 16-speed power shift, provides flexibility for different operational speeds, making it suitable for tasks that require precise speed control.
