TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW
The Shibaura SD2240 tractor features a 12-speed or 24-speed transmission option, enhancing versatility and torque management for various agricultural tasks. The choice between 12-speed and 24-speed allows for precise speed control, which is crucial when operating implements that require specific RPM ranges, such as seeders or plows. However, the complexity of a 24-speed transmission may result in a steeper learning curve for operators when compared to a simpler 12-speed system.
