TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The New Holland TC21DA features a 9-speed hydrostatic transmission, offering seamless speed control and enhanced maneuverability, ideal for varied agricultural tasks. This system enables precise power delivery and improved fuel efficiency, making it advantageous for both delicate operations and demanding conditions. However, the complexity of hydrostatic systems may present challenges in maintenance and repair, requiring specialized knowledge.

Description 9-speed gear hydrostatic

TRANSMISSION 1

The New Holland TC21DA tractor features a 9 forward and 3 reverse gear configuration, providing versatile speed selections for varying field conditions. This gear set-up enhances maneuverability for tasks such as tilling, cultivating, and transporting, although the limited number of reverse gears may hinder certain operations requiring frequent backward movements. Overall, the efficient gear distribution supports optimal performance in small to medium-sized agricultural tasks.

Gears 9 forward and 3 reverse

TRANSMISSION 2

The New Holland TC21DA features a hydrostatic transmission that provides infinite speed variability in both forward and reverse, enhancing maneuverability in tight spaces. This system allows for smooth operation without the need for gear shifting, which can be advantageous in applications like landscaping or tillage that require precise speed control. However, potential drawbacks include reduced efficiency at higher speeds compared to traditional gear systems and possible higher maintenance costs due to the complexity of the hydrostatic system.

NEW HOLLAND TC21DA TIRES

The New Holland TC21DA is versatile due to its ability to accommodate various tire sizes, enabling a quick switch between agricultural, lawn/turf, and industrial applications. The 5x12 front and 8x16 rear agricultural tires enhance field performance, while the larger 31x13.5-15 lawn/turf tires improve traction and stability on softer terrain. However, tire selection impacts the tractor's load capacity and ground pressure; hence, careful consideration is essential based on operational requirements.

Ag front 5x12
Ag rear 8x16
Lawn/turf front 22x9.00-12
Lawn/turf rear 31x13.5-15
Industrial front 23x8.50-12
Industrial rear 12x16.5
