TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The Fendt Farmer 305LS features a 15-speed synchromesh transmission, enhancing smooth gear transitions for optimal performance in varying agricultural applications. The 21-speed option offers finer control in both power and speed, making it ideal for precision work in sensitive terrains. However, the complexity of the 21-speed system may require more maintenance and operator training compared to the simpler 15-speed variant.

Description 15-speed synchromesh 21-speed

TRANSMISSION 1

The Fendt Farmer 305LS tractor features a synchromesh transmission with 15 forward and 4 reverse gears, offering versatility in speed and torque management for various agricultural tasks. The hydraulic disc clutch, measuring 310mm, allows for smooth engagement and disengagement, enhancing operator comfort during prolonged use. However, while the multi-range and overdrive configuration facilitates efficient road speed, it may present a learning curve for operators unfamiliar with complex gear systems.

Type synchromesh
Gears 15 forward and 4 reverse
Clutch 310mm hydraulic disc
Description Three gears (1-3), plus reverse (R), in two ranges (low/high) with two-speed torque converter (L/S). Additional three overdrive gears for road speed

TRANSMISSION 2

The Fendt Farmer 305LS features a 21-forward and 6-reverse gear system, offering enhanced versatility for various field tasks and transport scenarios. The three-speed torque converter in low, medium, and high ranges allows for efficient power management across different operating conditions, making it suitable for both challenging agricultural work and road transport. However, the complexity of the gearing may require more significant operator training to maximize its capabilities effectively.
