TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW
The CaseIH Farmall 55C features a 16-speed mechanical shuttle hydrostatic transmission, allowing for smooth directional changes and precise control during operation. This transmission type enhances efficiency in tasks requiring frequent forward and reverse motions, such as loader work or tillage. However, operators may need to adapt to the learning curve associated with mastering the hydrostatic controls, particularly in a high-impact environment.

TRANSMISSION 1
The CaseIH Farmall 55C tractor features a 16-speed transmission with a mechanical shuttle, enabling smooth transitions between forward and reverse while minimizing operator fatigue. This setup allows for efficient speed management across various tasks, enhancing productivity in areas like tillage and hauling. However, the reliance on a mechanical shuttle may limit some operators' ease of use compared to hydrostatic systems, particularly in precise maneuvering applications like loader work.
| Type | mechanical shuttle |
| Gears | 16 forward and reverse |
| Description | Four synchronized speeds in four ranges with mechanical shuttle |
TRANSMISSION 2
The CaseIH Farmall 55C features a hydrostatic transmission, providing seamless speed control without gear shifting, enhancing operator comfort and ease of use for tasks requiring precision, such as loader operations. It has an infinite (3-range) forward and reverse capability, allowing for versatile maneuverability in tight spaces. However, hydrostatic systems may experience higher fuel consumption compared to gear-driven systems, making it crucial to consider operational costs for extended use.

| Gears | infinite (3-range) forward and reverse |
MECHANICAL
The CaseIH Farmall 55C features a 4x4 MFWD system, enhancing traction and stability in diverse terrain but may increase tire wear in tight turns. Its mechanical rear differential lock provides improved traction in challenging conditions, while the power steering eases maneuverability, especially in tight spaces. The 16-speed mechanical shuttle hydrostatic transmission offers precise speed control, but operators may need time to adapt to the mechanical shifting characteristics compared to fully automatic systems.

CASEIH FARMALL 55C TIRES
The CaseIH Farmall 55C tractor features standard agricultural tires, providing superior traction for fieldwork with a front tire size of 9.5x16 and a rear of 13.6x24, ideal for soil cultivation. Limited turf tire options (28x8.50-15 front and 41x14.00-20 rear) allow for minimal ground disturbance, suiting residential or landscaping applications. The industrial tire configuration (12-16.5 front and 17.5Lx24 rear) enhances stability and load-bearing capacity, advantageous for construction or heavy lifting scenarios, though it may sacrifice some agricultural maneuverability.
