TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW
The New Holland TL90 features a 12-speed or 24-speed transmission, enabling efficient power management and adaptability across diverse operational tasks. The 24-speed variant provides enhanced gear selection for varying terrain, improving productivity and fuel efficiency on agricultural fields. However, the increased complexity of the 24-speed transmission may lead to higher maintenance requirements compared to the simpler 12-speed system, necessitating careful consideration based on user proficiency and operating conditions.
| Description | 12-speed/24-speed |
TRANSMISSION 1
The New Holland TL90 tractor features a 12-speed transmission, providing flexibility in varying fields and terrains through precise gear selection. This allows for optimal power delivery and fuel efficiency during tasks such as plowing or hauling. However, operators may need to familiarize themselves with the gear pattern to ensure smooth transitions between forward and reverse, particularly in tight spaces.
| Gears | 12 forward and reverse |
TRANSMISSION 2
The New Holland TL90's 24 forward and 12 reverse gears provide exceptional versatility for various agricultural tasks, offering precise speed control ideal for both fieldwork and transport. Its dual dry disc clutch ensures reliable engagement and efficient power transfer, which is beneficial for high-torque applications like plowing or heavy lifting. However, maintaining the clutch may require more frequent attention in harsh conditions, impacting long-term operational costs.
| Gears | 24 forward and 12 reverse |
| Clutch | dual dry disc |
MECHANICAL
The New Holland TL90 offers a versatile 4x2 or 4x4 configuration, enhancing traction and stability for varied terrains, which is advantageous for agricultural operations that require maneuverability in tight spaces. The hydrostatic power steering allows for easy handling, making it suitable for extended use, while the optional air-conditioned cab improves operator comfort during prolonged tasks. Its 12-to-24-speed transmission provides flexibility for speed adjustments, although users may need to manage the complexity during initial operation or maintenance.

NEW HOLLAND TL90 TIRES
The New Holland TL90 tractor offers two options: a 2WD configuration with standard agricultural tires (10.00-16 front, 540/65R-34 rear) or a more versatile 4WD option (440/65R24 front, 540/65R-34 rear). The 4WD provides better traction and stability on uneven terrain, which is beneficial for tasks such as plowing and tilling. However, the 2WD version may be more fuel-efficient for lighter duties on flat surfaces, thus depending on the application, the operator should choose based on terrain and load requirements.
