TRANSMISSION
The Cameco 145-B tractor utilizes an Allison transmission featuring 5 forward gears and 1 reverse gear, offering efficient power delivery and smoother operation, which is ideal for varied terrain and heavy-duty applications. The 5-speed configuration allows for better speed range management, enhancing productivity in agricultural or construction tasks. However, reliance on a single reverse gear may limit maneuverability in tight spaces compared to models with more reverse options.

CAMECO 145-B TIRES
The Cameco 145-B tractor features a versatile tire configuration with AG front tires (12.4x24) providing good maneuverability, and rear tires (18.4x38 or 20.8x38) that offer excellent traction and stability for larger implements. The combination of these sizes enhances performance in various agricultural applications, particularly in soil cultivation and planting. However, potential challenges may arise in navigating tighter fields due to the wider rear tire options, which could impact turning radius and compaction concerns.
