TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The Deutz-Fahr 4055E Keyline tractor features an 8-speed transmission with a 12-speed creeper gear, allowing for enhanced torque management at low speeds, which is advantageous for tasks requiring precision, such as tilling or planting. The 8-speed partially synchronized gearbox facilitates smoother shifting, reducing operator fatigue during extended use. However, the limited gear range might restrict high-speed field transport efficiency in comparison to gears with a broader range.

TRANSMISSION 1

The Deutz-Fahr 4055E features a mechanical dry disc clutch, offering durability and ease of maintenance, but may require more effort during engagement compared to hydraulic systems. With 8 forward and 2 reverse gears, it provides good speed versatility for various agricultural tasks, though the gear shifts may be less smooth than advanced transmission systems. This tractor is ideal for small to medium-scale operations requiring reliable performance in diverse field conditions, albeit at the potential cost of operator comfort during prolonged use.

TRANSMISSION 2

The Deutz-Fahr 4055E Keyline tractor features a creeper gear system, allowing for precise speed control in low-speed applications, making it ideal for tasks like plowing or cultivating. With 12 forward and 3 reverse gears, this tractor offers versatility in various farming conditions, though the mechanical dry disc clutch may require more frequent maintenance compared to hydraulic alternatives. Ensure to consider the intended operations, as the tractor's gearing and clutch arrangement may limit performance in high-load scenarios or prolonged operation without downtime.
