TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW
The Fiat-Hesston 180-90 tractor features a versatile 16-speed synchronized transmission, allowing precise speed adjustments for different field tasks. Its 24-speed creeper option is advantageous for operations requiring low-speed maneuverability, such as planting or tillage in tight spaces. However, the complexity of the 16-speed partial power shift may require additional training for optimal use, particularly in high-demand scenarios like heavy-duty towing or plowing.

HESSTON 180-90 TIRES
The Fiat-Hesston 180-90 tractor features a robust 4WD system that enhances traction and stability, particularly beneficial in challenging field conditions. The Ag front tires (16.9-28) provide a good balance between flotation and grip, while the larger Ag rear tires (20.8-38) improve load-carrying capacity and reduce soil compaction. However, the larger rear tires may limit maneuverability in tighter spaces; thus, it's ideal for expansive operations like plowing or tilling on larger farms.
