TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW
The Chery RK700 tractor features a 12-speed shuttle transmission coupled with an 8-speed gear system, providing enhanced versatility for various tasks. This configuration allows for smoother operation during direction changes and optimal speed adjustments for diverse farming applications. However, operators may need time to fully adapt to the complexity of the shifting mechanism, potentially affecting productivity during initial use.
| Description | 12-speed shuttle 8-speed gear |
TRANSMISSION 1
The Chery RK700 tractor features a shuttle transmission allowing for efficient forward and reverse gear engagement, beneficial for tasks that require frequent direction changes, such as tilling or cultivating. Its 12 forward and reverse gears provide a versatile speed range, enabling the operator to optimize power delivery for various field conditions. The 254mm dry disc clutch offers durability and ease of maintenance but may require more frequent adjustments compared to hydraulic clutches, potentially impacting operational downtime.

| Gears | 12 forward and reverse |
| Clutch | 254mm dry disc |
TRANSMISSION 2
The Chery RK700 tractor features an 8-forward and 4-reverse gear transmission, enabling versatile operation across various terrains and applications. The broad gear range can enhance efficiency during towing and fieldwork, but it may require more frequent gear shifting compared to a tractor with a continuous variable transmission (CVT). This setup is advantageous for tasks requiring precise speed control, but operators must be skilled in gear management to optimize performance.

| Gears | 8 forward and 4 reverse |
MECHANICAL
The Chery RK700 tractor features a 4x2 2WD chassis, which offers versatility for lighter agricultural tasks but may struggle in challenging terrains due to limited traction compared to 4WD models. The mechanical rear differential lock enhances traction on slippery surfaces, while the pneumatic brake option improves stopping power, though it may require additional maintenance. An open operator station with optional ROPS, canopy, and air-conditioning provides operator comfort, ideal for extended use in moderate climates, although exposure to the elements could be a downside in harsh weather conditions.
