The 60-88 offers several transmission configurations to suit specific operational needs. The standard gearbox provides 12 forward and 4 reverse gears via a 279.4mm dry disc clutch. Optional configurations include a 20-speed creeper transmission for precision low-speed work and a 12-speed shuttle transmission for improved direction changes. The machine is available in both two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive variants, supported by hydraulic wet disc brakes and standard power steering.
