TRANSMISSION
The Chery RF300 tractor features an 8-speed forward and 2-speed reverse sliding gear transmission, providing versatile speed control for various farming applications. The 203mm dry disc clutch offers reliable disengagement, but it may require more frequent maintenance under heavy loads compared to wet clutches. This tractor is well-suited for tasks like tilling and hauling, but operators should be mindful of its clutch wear in prolonged heavy usage scenarios.
