MECHANICAL
The Deutz-Fahr DX 3.50 tractor features a versatile drivetrain available in both 2WD and 4WD configurations, allowing for better traction in varying terrain conditions. The 8 to 24-speed transmission options, including partially synchronized and two-speed power shifts, provide flexibility for different operational speeds and loads, enhancing efficiency in tasks like plowing or transporting. However, the reliance on mechanical rear differential locks may pose challenges in extremely slippery conditions, requiring careful management to prevent wheel slip and maintain stability.
