TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The SAME Minitaurus 60 is equipped with a 14-speed synchronized transmission, providing precise gear selection and versatility for varied terrain and tasks, ideal for both agricultural and horticultural applications. The additional 14-speed creeper gear enhances low-speed control, crucial for tasks such as tilling and planting in confined spaces. However, the complexity of a 14-speed system may require more operator training and can lead to increased maintenance needs over time.

SAME MINITAURUS 60 TIRES

The SAME Minitaurus 60 offers two configurations: a 2WD setup with more narrow tires for agility and lower weight, while the 4WD setup enhances traction and stability on uneven terrain. The larger front tires in the 4WD version (11.2-24) can navigate challenging conditions better than the 2WD's (7.50-16). However, the 4WD configuration may have increased maintenance complexity and cost due to additional drive components.
