MECHANICAL
The Aultman & Taylor 22-45 tractor's 4x2 2WD chassis provides decent traction on flat terrain but may struggle in muddy conditions due to the lack of four-wheel drive. The manual steering system offers direct control but can be physically demanding, particularly during long hours of operation. The 2-speed gear transmission allows for versatility in speed management, making it suitable for various farming tasks; however, it may limit efficiency in applications requiring rapid speed changes.
