TRANSMISSION

The Cletrac 35 tractor features a simple yet effective 3-speed forward and 1-speed reverse gear system, providing adequate control for various tasks while minimizing complexity. Its dry disc clutch allows for reliable engagement but may require more frequent adjustments and maintenance compared to wet clutches, especially in demanding applications. This setup suits small to medium farms where maneuverability is crucial, although the limited gearbox may pose challenges for high-speed operations or steep inclines.
