TRANSMISSION

The Sonalika DI 740 tractor features an 8-forward and 2-reverse gear system, providing versatile speed options for various agricultural tasks. This configuration enhances maneuverability in tight spaces while ensuring efficient operation for both fieldwork and transport. However, operators may need to adjust gear selections carefully to avoid stalling in heavy loads, particularly in demanding conditions.

Gears 8 forward and 2 reverse

MECHANICAL

The Sonalika DI 740 features disc brakes, providing superior stopping power and responsiveness compared to traditional drum brakes, enhancing safety and control during operation. Its 8-speed transmission allows for versatile speed adjustments, optimizing power delivery for varied agricultural tasks such as plowing and hauling. However, operators should be mindful of the learning curve associated with manual transmission systems, particularly in switching between gears effectively.
