Hello. Anyone with a M7060 with the 8spd transmission know what to top ground speed is on the road? Thanks

While I have not tested it, I read somewhere that the 8 speed M6040 will hit 40 mph.
That seems very fast so maybe it was 40 kph or 25 mph.:confused:

Its 40 mph on the 12 spd. I am wondering what the 8 spd will do.

I followed my son to the dealership he was running his M7060 and if I remember correctly it was running between 20~25 mph and a little faster down grade and a lot slower up grade...

The tractor owner's manual will have a travel speed table.

For my example a M7040 with 16.9 x 30 max speed is approx 30 kph.



I have R 4 tires which are smaller than 16.9 x 30 and the GPS measured travel speed is about 26 kph.

I doubt the 12 speed top gear is any higher so those who claim 40 mph need to check the calibration of their tractor's meter based upon tire circumference. The owner's manual shows how to do this.

His is a 8 speed. He has an optional set of radial front and rear tires on his too I don't know it this would make a difference or not.
