TRANSMISSION

The TYM T550 features a sync shuttle transmission with 16 forward and reverse gears, providing enhanced control over speed and torque. The dry disc clutch facilitates reliable shifting, but the requirement to stop the tractor for range shifts can limit efficiency during operations requiring frequent speed adjustments. This setup is ideal for heavy-duty tasks where precision is paramount, yet it may pose challenges in fast-paced environments where rapid shifting is critical.
