TRANSMISSION
The Fiat 481R tractor features a gear transmission with 6 forward and 2 reverse gears, facilitating versatility in various field applications and ensuring efficient power delivery. The 6 forward gears allow for a range of speeds, which can be advantageous for tasks that require precision, such as plowing or tilling, while the 2 reverse gears enhance maneuverability in tight spaces. However, the gear type may limit flexibility compared to hydrostatic transmissions, particularly in applications requiring frequent speed adjustments.

MECHANICAL
The Fiat 481R tractor features a 4x2 2WD chassis, providing sufficient traction for light to moderate tasks but may struggle on wet or uneven terrain. Its manual steering offers simplicity but can be less responsive, particularly in tight turns. The 6-speed gear transmission allows for versatility in speed control, making it suitable for various applications like tilling and hauling, yet may require more operator skill to shift effectively compared to modern hydraulic transmissions.

FIAT 481R TIRES
The Fiat 481R tractor features front tire sizes of 5.50-16/6.00-16 and rear tire sizes of 10-36/11-36, providing a balance of traction and stability for various agricultural tasks. The staggered tire sizes enhance maneuverability and weight distribution, crucial for operations on uneven terrain. However, owners should consider potential challenges in tread wear due to the differing tire sizes, which may necessitate more frequent replacement or rotation.

DIMENSIONS & TIRES
The Fiat 481R's wheelbase of 85.4 inches (216 cm) contributes to enhanced stability and maneuverability, particularly in confined agricultural settings. Weighing 3,616 lbs (1,640 kg), it provides a good balance for traction and soil compaction, though heavier loads might challenge its power-to-weight ratio. The tire specifications—5.50-16 in the front and 10-36 in the rear—indicate a design optimized for field work, offering a mix of flotation and grip for diverse terrain conditions, though tire selection is crucial for specific applications.
