TRANSMISSION
The Dongfeng DF-450 tractor features a 12-speed forward and 3-speed reverse transmission, allowing for versatile operation in various agricultural tasks and terrain conditions. The extended range of gears enhances torque management and speed control, optimizing performance when handling heavy loads or navigating uneven surfaces. However, operators may require initial familiarization with gear shifting to maximize efficiency, particularly in complex field conditions.

MECHANICAL
The Dongfeng DF-450 features a 4x2 2WD chassis, providing sufficient traction for flat terrain but limiting performance in uneven or hilly areas. Its mechanical steering may require more physical effort compared to power steering systems, which could impact maneuverability during prolonged use. The 12-speed transmission allows for greater control over speed and torque, making it advantageous for diverse tasks such as plowing and hauling, though topping out in speed may be restrictive for large-scale transportation.
