TRANSMISSION
The CO-OP B2 tractor features a basic transmission system with 4 forward gears and 1 reverse gear, allowing for straightforward operation and versatility in various agricultural tasks. The lower gear range is advantageous for tasks requiring high torque, such as plowing or tilling, but the limitation of only one reverse gear may present challenges in maneuverability on tight turns or during loading operations. Overall, this tractor is well-suited for small to medium-scale farming, particularly in environments where agility and ease of use are prioritized over high-speed transport.

MECHANICAL
The CO-OP B2 tractor, featuring a 4x2 2WD chassis and manual steering, is ideal for simpler agricultural tasks and terrain where four-wheel drive is not a prerequisite. Its independent mechanical brakes provide reliable stopping power, though they may require more maintenance compared to hydraulic systems. The 4-speed gear transmission allows for versatility in speed adjustments, making it suitable for various applications, albeit potentially limiting performance in more demanding conditions.
