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.
