8-speed:8 forward and 2 reverse gears, oil capacity 32 qts (30.3 L), later standard transmission, replacing the 6-speed.
Multi-Power:partial power shift, 12 forward and 4 reverse gears, oil capacity 32 qts (30.3 L), oil type MF-1129. Multi-Power provides a clutchless power shift from high (direct drive) to a lower speed, providing additional torque. Three gears, plus reverse, in high and low ranges plus the high/low Multi-Power. Multi-Power High should be used on hills as the low speed does not allow for engine braking.
Transmission options:6-speed, 8-speed, 12-speed partial power shift
