TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW

The Ford 1320 tractor features a 9-speed transmission combined with a hydrostatic drive system, offering versatility for various applications and a smooth operation across different terrains. The hydrostatic transmission provides infinite speed control and ease of use, making it ideal for tasks requiring precision, such as mowing or landscaping. However, the complexity of the hydrostatic system can lead to higher maintenance costs and potential challenges in repairs compared to more straightforward gear systems.

Description 9-speed gear/hydrostatic

TRANSMISSION 1

The Ford 1320 tractor features a gear-driven transmission with 9 forward and 3 reverse gears, providing versatile speed options for various tasks. This configuration allows for efficient maneuverability and precision control, especially in tight spaces or during fieldwork. However, the complexity of the 9-forward gear setup may pose a learning curve for some operators, impacting usability in rapidly changing conditions.
