Transmissions That Get The Job Done
The Allison HT 740 and HT 754 offered in Steiger Panther PTA Series tractors
from 295-350 Horsepower, offer these unique features for performance and
profitability.
• Provides eight or ten ideal field and transport speeds when combined with
Steiger’s two-speed power divider.
• Converter and automatic lock-up positions in each of the forward ranges. Con
verter permits tractor to start off with implement in the ground. Lock-up pro
vides maximum efficiency in engine operating range.
• Fully automatic upshifting and downshifting in all forward ranges under full
throttle and full load, as drawbar requirements dictate.
• Driveline repairs are significantly reduced.
• No downtime due to mechanical clutch replacement and repau.
• Ease of operation reduces fatigue and improves driver efficiency and comfort.
• Smooth transmission of power extends driveline life by reducing harmful
shock loading.
