TRANSMISSION 1

The New Holland TS90 features an EconoShift unsynchronized transmission with 8 forward and 2 reverse gears, providing flexibility for various field conditions. However, the necessity to stop and utilize the clutch before shifting can slow down operational efficiency, particularly in tasks requiring frequent gear changes. An optional creeper range can enhance low-speed precision work, making it advantageous for tasks like tilling or planting where control is critical.

Transmission EconoShift
Type unsynchronized gear
Gears 8 forward and 2 reverse
Description Four gears, plus reverse, in two ranges. Tractor must be stopped, and clutch used, before shifting gear or range. Optional creeper range.

TRANSMISSION 2

The New Holland TS90's Econo Dual Command transmission offers enhanced versatility with its two-speed power shift system, enabling efficient management of 16 forward and 4 reverse gears. The ability to shift between direct and underspeed ranges on-the-move without using the clutch improves operational efficiency, particularly in varying field conditions. However, it requires stopping and using the clutch to change gears or ranges, which could slow down transitions between tasks, particularly in time-sensitive scenarios.

Transmission Econo Dual Command
Type two-speed power shift
Gears 16 forward and 4 reverse
Description Same as EconoShift, with an additional under-speed power shift button on the dashboard. The direct/underspeed ranges may be shifted on the move without the clutch. Four gears, plus reverse, in two ranges. Tractor must be stopped, and clutch used, before shifting gear or range. Optional creeper range.

TRANSMISSION 3

The New Holland TS90 features a Synchro Command transmission with 12 forward and reverse gears, enabling fluid shifting while in motion between high and medium ranges, enhancing operational efficiency. The 60-quart oil capacity supports extended service intervals, but the requirement to stop for low range engagement may limit responsiveness in dynamic field conditions. This design is ideal for users needing versatile speed options for various tasks, albeit with some downtime during range transitions.

Transmission Synchro Command
Gears 12 forward and reverse
Oil capacity 60qts / 56.8L
Description Four gears provided in three ranges, plus a shuttle lever. Tractor may be shifted on the move, using the clutch, between gears, high or medium range, and forward-reverse shuttle. Tractor must be stopped to enter low range.

SPEEDS 3

Description 16.9-38 rear tires.

TRANSMISSION 4

The New Holland TS90 features a Synchro Dual Command transmission, offering 24 forward and reverse gears, enhancing versatility for various field applications. The under-speed power shift capability allows seamless shifting without clutching, which increases operational efficiency, particularly in tasks requiring frequent directional changes. However, the complexity of the transmission system may require more maintenance and operator training to maximize its benefits.

Transmission Synchro Dual Command
Gears 24 forward and reverse
Oil capacity 60qts / 56.8L
Description Same as Synchro Command, with an additional under-speed power shift button on the gear lever. The direct/underspeed ranges may be shifted on the move without the clutch. A 'dump button' on the shuttle lever can be used for clutchless shifting between forward and reverse.

TRANSMISSION 5

The New Holland TS90, equipped with an ElectroShift transmission, provides efficient gear shifting with 16 forward and reverse options, enhancing operational flexibility. Its oil capacity of 64 quarts (60.6 liters) supports prolonged engine performance and reduces the frequency of oil changes. This tractor is well-suited for a variety of agricultural tasks, though operators should be aware of the need for proper transmission maintenance to prevent issues linked to ElectroShift components.

TRANSMISSION 6

The New Holland TS90 with ElectroShift transmission provides 24 forward and reverse gears, enhancing versatility across different terrains and applications. The creeper gear feature allows for precise low-speed operation, ideal for tasks such as planting or tight-space maneuvering, but requires careful engagement to avoid clutch wear. This configuration is advantageous for operators needing controlled speed without sacrificing torque, though it may present a learning curve for those unfamiliar with creeper systems.
