TRANSMISSION
The Steiger Cougar CR-1280 features a two-speed power shift transmission, providing operators with 20 forward and 4 reverse gears, which enhances its versatility for various agricultural tasks. The five gears across two ranges (low/high) allow for optimized performance, improving efficiency in both fieldwork and transport scenarios. One potential challenge is the learning curve for operators unfamiliar with multi-range gear shifting, which may initially affect productivity during transitions.
