TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW
The New Holland TN60A features an efficient 8-speed constant mesh transmission for straightforward operation and durability, while the 12-speed and 16-speed partially synchronized options enhance versatility and ease of gear transitions under load. The mechanical shuttle allows for quick forward-reverse shifts, beneficial for tasks requiring frequent directional changes, though it may require more operator effort compared to a power shuttle system. For optimal performance in varied agricultural scenarios, consider the terrain and workload, as the choice of transmission can significantly affect operational efficiency and comfort.

TRANSMISSION 1
The New Holland TN60A features an 8 forward and reverse gear constant mesh transmission with a mechanical shuttle, allowing for efficient gear shifting but necessitating clutch engagement when shifting directions. The 280mm dry cerametallic clutch enhances durability and performance under heavy loads, though it requires careful modulation to prevent wear during frequent direction changes. This setup is advantageous for tasks requiring rapid direction changes, such as loader work, but may pose a challenge for novice operators unfamiliar with manual gear shifting and clutch operation.
| Type | constant mesh with mechanical shuttle |
| Gears | 8 forward and reverse |
| Clutch | 280mm dry cerametallic plate |
| Description | Left-hand mechanical shuttle required clutching. |
TRANSMISSION 2
The New Holland TN60A features a Synchro Command transmission with 12 forward and reverse gears, allowing for smooth transitions during operations. Its partially synchronized system can pose challenges in rapid gear changes without clutching, yet provides precise control for varied field conditions. The 280mm dry cerametallic clutch enhances durability, making it ideal for heavy-duty farming tasks where consistent power delivery is essential.
| Transmission | Synchro Command |
| Type | partially synchronized with mechanical shuttle |
| Gears | 12 forward and reverse |
| Clutch | 280mm dry cerametallic plate |
| Description | Four synchronized gears in three ranges. Left-hand mechanical shuttle requires clutching. |
TRANSMISSION 3
The New Holland TN60A features a Synchro Command Plus transmission that provides 16 forward and reverse gears, enhancing maneuverability for diverse tasks. The partially synchronized gears allow for smoother shifting under load, but the requirement for clutch engagement with the left-hand mechanical shuttle can introduce a learning curve for operators. The 280mm dry cerametallic clutch offers durability but may necessitate regular maintenance to ensure optimal performance in high-demand scenarios.
| Transmission | Synchro Command Plus |
| Type | partially synchronized with mechanical shuttle |
| Gears | 16 forward and reverse |
| Clutch | 280mm dry cerametallic plate |
| Description | Left-hand mechanical shuttle requires clutching. |
TRANSMISSION 4
The New Holland TN60A tractor features a Synchro Command Plus transmission, offering 16 forward and reverse gears, ideal for versatile field operations. The clutchless left-hand power shuttle enhances maneuverability, particularly in tight spaces, making it advantageous for loader work and transport tasks. However, the partially synchronized design may require careful gear selection under load to prevent damage and ensure smooth operation.
| Transmission | Synchro Command Plus |
| Type | partially synchronized with power shuttle |
| Gears | 16 forward and reverse |
| Clutch | six 113mm wet organic discs |
| Description | Clutchless left-hand power shuttle. |
MECHANICAL
The New Holland TN60A tractor features a versatile chassis with options for both 2WD and 4WD, enhancing traction in various agricultural scenarios. Its hydrostatic power steering improves maneuverability, while the differential wet disc brakes offer reliable stopping power in challenging conditions. The transmission options provide flexibility in gear selection, making it suitable for multiple tasks, but the complexity may require additional maintenance considerations with the synchronized models.
