An automated mechanical transmission is the newest feature on LS Tractors USA's R-Series premium compact tractor line.

The 16 X 16 gearbox features electrical controls from a joystick and can be shifted with the flick of the thumb, or operated (with the thumb button) as a shuttle for forward and reverse loading and lifting operations. The new transmission is an option to the company's regular 16 X 16 synchro-shuttle or three-range hydrostat transmission.

The R-Series LS tractors are powered with a 4-cylinder Mitsubishi diesel engine rated 35 PTO horsepower with the mechanical transmissions and 33 hp. with the hydrostat.

Options include a 2000 rpm mid PTO, a variety of tire choices, and loaders and backhoes.
