TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The Belarus 420A tractor features an 8-speed transmission, which allows for effective torque management and operational flexibility in various field conditions. The optional 11-speed transmission enhances speed control and adaptability, facilitating improved performance in diverse agricultural tasks. A challenge may arise in mastering the gear selection, especially for operators accustomed to more common transmission configurations.

Description 8-speed 11-speed

TRANSMISSION 1

The Belarus 420A tractor features a sliding gear transmission system, facilitating smoother transitions between gears, particularly beneficial in agricultural applications requiring variable speed management. The 8 forward and 6 reverse gears provide versatility for both fieldwork and maneuvering in tight spaces, enhancing operational efficiency. However, sliding gear systems may require more maintenance compared to synchromesh alternatives, and operators should be trained to manage gear shifts effectively to avoid potential damage.
