TRANSMISSION
The Century C47 tractor features a partially synchronized transmission with 12 forward and reverse gears, allowing for versatile operation in various terrain conditions. Its oil capacity of 37 quarts (35.0L) is suitable for maintaining engine performance, while the shift system requires stopping the tractor to change ranges and shuttle, which could lead to potential downtime in intensive tasks. Pros include smoother gear transitions due to synchronization, but operators need to manage the need for stops during range shifts, particularly in time-sensitive operations.
