Hi,
I'm interested in the 4wd hydraulic shuttle shift M series tractors. The engine options seem pretty clear, although I would be interested in the torque rise numbers if someone can provide a link.
Can someone explain the transmission options? The 8F/8R is standard, are the gear ratios the same for different tractors?
What about the creeper option? It sounds like it would be a super low gear and a good thing to have. Anyone have the creeper option, experience or recommendations?
The 8540 and 9540 have an option 12F/12R transmission, how about this? Can one get this and the creeper, would there be any reason to do so?
Finally, all the different M40 tractors have different tire sizes, so do they use different gearing in the front and rear axles?
Thanks,
Chip
