TRANSMISSION 1

The Dongfeng DF-254G2 tractor features an 8-speed transmission, which provides versatility in various field operations and optimizes power utilization across different terrains. Its forward and reverse gear configuration allows for efficient maneuverability, especially in tight spaces, enhancing productivity during tasks like tilling or plowing. However, operators should consider the learning curve associated with managing multiple speeds effectively for optimal performance.

Gears 8 forward and reverse

TRANSMISSION 2

The Dongfeng DF-254G2 tractor features an 8 forward and 2 reverse gear transmission, allowing for versatile speed and torque management, which is advantageous for various agricultural tasks. Its 21.1 qt (20.0 L) oil capacity ensures adequate lubrication during extended use, but maintaining oil levels is critical to avoid overheating, especially under heavy loads. The 4/1 transmission with high and low ranges provides enhanced performance adaptability, making it suitable for both high-speed field work and low-speed hauling or plowing scenarios.
