TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW
The UTB/Universal 500 tractor features an 8-speed or 12-speed transmission system, providing flexibility in power delivery and operational efficiency for diverse agricultural tasks. The 12-speed option maximizes torque management for hilly terrains and varying crop conditions, though it may require slightly more maintenance. In scenarios where shifting precision is crucial, the 12-speed variant can enhance productivity, but operators must be trained to manage the complexities of increased gear ratios.
