Operators could select between two transmission types: a 20-speed gear transmission providing 20 forward and 4 reverse speeds, or a 12-speed full power shift transmission offering 12 forward and 2 reverse speeds for efficient shifting under load.
Hydraulics and Dimensions
The hydraulic system utilizes a closed-center design with a pump flow capacity of 30 gpm (113.6 lpm) at 3000 psi (206.8 bar). The system includes three valves and a total capacity of 35.7 gallons (135.1 L).
