TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The Fendt Farmer 280S tractor features a robust 21-speed shuttle transmission, providing precise control over speed and torque, which is advantageous for tasks requiring fine maneuverability. This transmission can enhance productivity in varied field conditions but may require additional skill to operate effectively. Ideal for medium-sized farming operations, it excels in versatility, from tilling to transport tasks.

Description

21-speed 21-speed shuttle

TRANSMISSION 1

The Fendt Farmer 280S features an advanced transmission system with a total of 21 forward and 6 reverse gears, including a triple range gear split that enhances versatility for various field conditions. The option for a super-creeper range expands its capabilities to 30 forward and 9 reverse gears, making it ideal for tasks requiring precise low-speed control, such as planting or tilling. However, the complexity of the transmission may present a learning curve for operators unfamiliar with multi-range gear systems.

Gears	21 forward and 6 reverse
Description	Gearshift with three gears (1-3), plus reverse (R), and three overdrive gears (25, 30, and 40 kph). Triple range gear split provides three speeds for each of the non-overdrive gears. Low and high ranges. Transmission also available with addition super-creeper range providing 30 gears forward and 9 reverse

TRANSMISSION 2

The Fendt Farmer 280S features a shuttle transmission with a total of 21 forward and reverse gears, providing versatility for various field applications. This broad gear range offers enhanced maneuverability and optimal power delivery, making it suitable for both heavy-duty tasks and precision farming. However, the complexity of the transmission may require more maintenance, which could impact operational downtime if not managed effectively.
