TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW
The Fiat 65-46 tractor features an 8-speed partially synchronized transmission combined with a 12-speed creeper gear, allowing for precise speed control at low RPMs—beneficial for tasks requiring careful maneuvering, such as plowing or tilling in tight spaces. This hybrid transmission system offers improved versatility; however, the partial synchronization may lead to occasional gear grinding during rapid shifts. Overall, this configuration is advantageous for farmers needing robust torque delivery and the ability to operate efficiently in various field conditions.

TRANSMISSION 1
The Fiat 65-46 features a partially synchronized transmission with 8 forward and 2 reverse gears, enhancing operational flexibility in varying terrains. The 279.4mm dry disc clutch provides reliable engagement but may require precise pedal operation during shifting. While synchronization in gears 3 and 4 improves ease of use, the lack of full synchronization may present challenges during rapid gear changes in demanding conditions.

FIAT 65-46 TIRES
The Fiat 65-46 tractor offers versatile tire options for both 2WD and 4WD configurations, with standard and optional sizes that allow for customized traction and stability based on field conditions. The wide rear tires (14.9/13-30) provide excellent flotation in soft soils, essential for minimizing compaction, while the diversity in front tire sizes enhances steering precision. A potential challenge may arise in 2WD scenarios with traction in wet conditions compared to 4WD, making the latter more suitable for diverse agricultural applications.
